"Houston, that one is the best," said Dalembert. He later added, "I’m interested in the Rockets. They have a good team over there, a running team.

I'm going to focus on this part

Dalembert, who averaged 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds last season, did say "chances are still open" he could re-sign with the Kings.

Good Plan.

Houston, if they jettison Thabeet’s salary, have near max money to offer. I don’t think they would throw it all at Sammy though, since they need more than that.

As a result of the NBA going dark and staging a lockout I plan on saying only depressing things until the season starts. If they put out the schedule I plan to also go and sit in the Arco parking lot on nights games would have been played. I will Tivo CSN on games nights. They can't stop me. Its my team and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

If they over him near max money

He is gone. Don’t want to pay him that.

How about the Kings take on Thabeet's salary and couple it with Hill.

That’d help fill out the frontcourt, give us some compensation for a SnT with Daly, and move us up the financial ladder without throwing out long term deals.

Sammy is playing the political game

The Kings can offer him the money he really wants, and if they do, he will stay. If they don’t he will go. It’s that simple.

How is that political?

Because he's also

cheating on his wife, taking bribes, and granting himself better insurance and perks than anyone else in the name of the greater good.

Hmm, so the two possible outcomes are: he'll either stay or he'll go.

interesting.

I don't see what the appeal of the Rockets would be over the Kings

Aside from they can offer a lot of money and a starting center role.

Which the Kings also can. I’d be willing to let Houston overpay for Sammy if they want him that badly.

especially with Kevin in stead of Rick

i'm not an expert on this..

The thought of losing Dally opens up playing time and development of Hassan Whiteside? what do you think guys?

by KINGKENJI on Dec 5, 2011 5:48 PM PST reply actions

And not signing MT would open up time for Jimmer

But I’m not in favor of passing on a proven player so we can try out an unproven player. Let the young guys learn from the vets while earning their actual playing time.
