Lamar would be another very interesting candidate for a FA pick up. He's not been what he was in a Lakers Uni, for either Dallas or the Clippers. ( In a Lakers Uni, he was all-star level productive.) He's also going to 34 next season. I expect him not to get big money next year - maybe even the vet min.

The interesting this is that his rebounding (rate = 16.9%), block (rate = 3.0%), steals (rate = 2.3%) are all still above career averages, just for the past couple of years, his shot has been broken: Total FG% in the lakers years .491, with Dallas and LAC .371. His athleticism hasn't gone, and I wonder if Chip and a motion-structured offense could fix his shot for him...

He's another cheap veteran who I would take a long look at, just like Mike Dunleavy. Versatile, high skills, smart...

If you could get him for the vet min I would really consider getting him for the backup center spot. I know that's not really his natural postion but with his passing skills he would make a great roll man for the second unit. He is also still a pretty good defender in the post and in pick and roll situations.
Maybe his skills are too similar to Diaw's but those two together would be quite fun to watch.

Details man, details... to borrow a quote from a Math's teacher, "Prove your work from first principles".

0% chance that Kardashian comes to San Antonio. Less than 1% chance he signs anywhere other than LA, NY, or Miami.

[benefactor]

No details needed. He's a mental midget that is always a second away from checking out. Pop would yell at him one time and he'd go into the fetal position for the rest of the season.

Oh, and what Mel said too.

[bluebellmaniac]

Ditto what benefactor said.... No.

[Libri]

He was even demoted to the D-League while with the Mavericks.

WAY too much drama for him to ever be a Spur. Pop would probably punch the first camera man from Breaking Kardashian that tried to enter the locker room.

He's not playing well because his head isn't into basketball. He's been pining for Barney Purple and Piss Yellow since the Lakers traded him. He'll probably go re-join the circus given half the chance.
