Bibby Trade Talks Stall In Cleveland

Even though this makes a lot of sense (unless Cleveland goes out and fills their PG need elsewhere before the trade deadline), I'm not thrilled about watching the opposition run layup drills until February.

So we have the "inside size" we were looking for? Does this mean that Mikki's going to protect the basket, or will Justin get a lot more burn this season?

Otherwise, Bibby's going to have to score 25 a game to make his plus/minus look good.

Bibby's game has always been this way, why is everyone on his case now. He had a bad year offensively which emphasized his defensive ineptitude. To follow up big words with small words, big whoop. If he has another sub-par year then maybe we can talk about getting rid of Bibby, until then he is the starting PG and damn capable too. As soon as he breaks out his "big ballz" monkey dance everyone will forgive him. At least that's how I hope it goes down. Just give him a little bit of slack.

Intersting that Bill Neff represents Wilks. Didn't he also represent Jason Hart? So let's sign the guy and not play him so we can listen to the 12th man on the team piss and moan over his lack of playing time.
Also, if the Kings sign Wilks it either means (A) Ronnie Price is getting a helluva an offer somewhere or (B) the Kings decided that Ronnie Price is just not an NBA point guard.
If there is a silver lining it's that Wilks would only be signed as point guard insurance, meaning he would be around to collect minutes only in the event of injury or...the eventual trade of our starting point guard!?!

All Ratliff/Rondo does for us is free up salary next year, but it won't free up enough to make us players in free agency next year. Petrie has already noted that we're probably two years away (if not three) from making a big free agent splash.
Rondo is the poor man's Randy Brown. His shot is so bad (and his decision making is not much better) that I just don't see him as a viable NBA starting PG.
If Petrie has discussed Bibby for Ratliff/Rondo (or Telfair) the sticking point is probably that Petrie wants a draft pick for next year, a draft that promises to have at least a half dozen point guard prospects better than Law or Crittenton and enough talent at the bigs that a guy like Ante Tomic may still not be a lottery pick.
Here's hoping that the Celts get off to a decent start and determine that Bibby is the guy to help vault them to top.

I would kill for Calderon in kings uniform (free agent next year). Free some cash Geoff!!!

Calderon would be very nice, but so would Rose, Mayo, Collison, Augustin, Bayless or Lawson, and they should all be in next year's draft.
