It looked as if Sacramento had moved on from center Samuel Dalembert. But Dalembert said Tuesday night he anticipates re-signing with the Kings.
"If things work out, everything structurally (with the contact), it will be Sacramento," Dalembert said in a phone interview with FOX Sports Florida from his Boca Raton, Fla., home. "It's close."

Martin's buyout will set the precedent for JR Smith, Wilson Chandler, Aaron Brooks in China: None will play in NBA until CBA season is over.
Reggie Evans Update

Alexis Ajinca
Scott Howard-Cooper: Clippers looking at Alexis Ajinca at backup center. Possibility of signing today. Gadzuric, Diogu also on the radar. Twitter
can't even get Alexis Ajinca?! come ON!
Fesenko? please?
Spurs don't want just anyone at center.
Fesenko tore his knee up in September. It was only supposed to be a two-month injury from initial reports, but given his reputation for not laziness, he might not be ready to play yet.

I guess that takes care of the final scraps in the NBA free agent bigman bin.
Meanwhile, Spurs still sucking their thumbs.
So your pissed that the Spurs haven't picked up one of these scraps?
No. Only that they wanted until there were nothing but scraps left to be had.
they already have a couple on the front line - what's wrong with a couple more?
Other than Chandler, and to a lesser degree Dalembert, scraps were all that were out there to begin with imo.
Well, they're now faced with not only the hole left by McDyess' retirement, but also having to live with the subpar deficiencies from both Bonner and Blair for yet another season.
I know alot of us(me included) were hoping the Spurs were going to address the front line, but, for now, looks like Splitter will have to be the answer.
Lol, I guess Holt doesn't want to add to his collection of bigman scrubs.
For the sake of the Spurs success and us fans, Splitter had better be. Because at this point, Blair is not going to get any taller or move his feet any quicker. And Bonner isn't going to be anything else but his one-dimensional self - except in the playoffs, when he has absolutely no dimensions at all.
Speaking of which, the short-handed frontline situation because worse when the playoff start. That's when the Spurs go from 4 bigs down to 3 (with Bonner's on-court disappearance).
It appears you are correct but it won't be enough. If Duncan makes it through the year injury-free, he still is going to be sitting a lot of nights so that he does not get worn out. Splitter has the youth to handle the impendiong grind that will be this year's schedule but the depth after him is what is concerning.
Bonner is Bonner and will drive most ST posters crazy with the amount of playing time he will be getting but after Blair, who is there?
We don't need a 5th big man, we need a 3rd big man. Blair is our 5th and Bonner is our 4th.
All we can do is hope for the best or hope someone is willing to take RJ and Blair in exchange for a big man by the trade deadline.
Any chance Pop will showcase RJ to try and tempt another team to trade for him? He might but Jeffereson likely doesn't cooperate.
I'm pretty sure the Spurs were hoping to use McDyess in a trade, but since that ship sailed already, it looks like their going to go status quo. I also will as Leonard to the big mix. I can see Leonard be used alot in small ball packages as a 4, once he gets himself acclimated,
Unfortunately that's probably right. There are plenty of 5th big types out there -- although that number gets smaller every day. The Spurs are just really lacking the athleticism up front that every real contender has in one or more players.
It's really a shame - especially for Duncan. He'll be forced to carry even MORE of the heavy burden in the frontcourt. At least last year, he could count on Dice as a running mate. As it stands now, he'll have to do even more with less - all in a killer 66-game season, which will be crammed into about 4 months time. It's really unfair to a player of Duncan's stature. A player who, by the way, is entering his 15th season.
Is Splitter not playing?
Why didn't we hear even a buzz about spurs going for Dalembert?? He would be better than nothing.
I didn't forget Splitter. I just meant the fact that since the Spurs roster is down to only two legit bigs, it means Duncan workload isn't going to be any easier.
