    Right now, there are the following "notable" players (as I can tell) on recent waivers:

    Marcus Camby
    Kendall Marshall
    Shannon Brown
    Josh Howard
    Fab Melo
    Renaldo Balkman
    Justin Holiday
    Hilton Armstrong
    Lou Amundsen
    Chris Johnson
    Joe Alexander
    Jeremy Tyler
    Chris Douglas-Roberts
    Seth Curry
    Malcolm Lee
    Josh Childress

    (MickZagger adds:)
    Damion James
    Lester Hudson
    Brian Cook
    Scott Machado

    Most (if not all) of these guys are super-"meh" at best, but would you take a flyer on any of them?

    And in general, would you rather take a flyer on someone like Camby, who you know can play, but may be broken-down...or someone like Marshall or Seth Curry, who is young and could develop but may never be good enough to play?

    Don't know why, but I would love to bring back Camby. If only to teach Leonard how to run a high post offense

    I don't really remember Camby's vet leadership during the Felton fiasco. And he's 39 years old. Yuck.

    If Leonard is the kind of guy who needs role models, he just has to look at the damned immigrant who took his jerb. Get on the Nick Collison life plan to secure a role on this team, and then add in the whole Vlade Divac diva jump-shooter/passer thing next year when you have a little credibility.

    Nobody on that list excites me. They were waived for a reason. I'd rather the team focus on what they have already.

    Kendall Marshall. He would be worth the low risk gamble, and as much as I like Earl Watson on the team, I think Marshall is much more valuable.

    Wait till Emeka Okafor gets bought out.

    Fun fact: he won rookie of the year over Dwight Howard.

    Okafor wouldn't be bad.... I would definitely like to see us solidify the front court a bit. I like Marshall as a long term investment, but Okafor would be pretty good as a backup center.

    How will that work? Does any team have right, or will it be based on last season record for first right?

    I think someone posted that it comes down to cap space and then record from last season if multiple teams want to pick them up off waivers.

    If that's the rule, then I doubt we have the opportunity. He would be picked up quickly!

    Signed him on Friday, waived him on Saturday. Howard is going to the D-League on the Spurs' Austin team.

    If Oakfer is bought out then he can go to any team that wants to pay him.
