Thomas and Joseph should get some time, since they hang their hats on defense. We know Malcolm can play the three on offense. He deserves a chance to try it on D.

CLEVELAND – The 76ers have waived reserve center Daniel Orton.
The 6-foot-10, 255-pounder started four games and played in 22 games this season. He averaged 3.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game. Orton finished with a season-high 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds while starting in place of Spencer Hawes at Indiana on Nov. 23

Houston's been calling teams, trying to assist forward Donatas Motiejunas in finding a new team, sources tell Yahoo. He wants playing time.
Wouldn't shock me to see the Lakers bite. He'd be solid in D'Antoni's system.

Nets tonight granted $5.25 mil Disabled Player Exception after losing Brook Lopez. Using full amount triggers extra $20 mil in luxury tax
Honestly, the smartest thing they could do is take on some salary for an asset. Something like Blatche for Thomas Robinson and the rights to an international player.
Poor nets. Hit rock bottom this early in the season
Moot point now. I stand corrected on Splitters trade kicker, I didn't know that about it. I didn't have a a problem with Deng playing PF beside Duncan or off the bench Or Diaw starting.
The problem would be playing Baynes or Ayers. Both have flaws that would be exposed (or possibly ironed out) with extended minutes. They can be useful in short stretches (Baynes physicality, Ayers rebounding) Neither are rim protectors something that Splitter is.
Also Splitter usefulness on offense (passing, offensive rebounding, and ability to get to the free throw line) I wouldn't wan't to see Splitter go unless it was for a clear upgrade over him or a couple of useful rotation players.

Pretty moot now but just imagine what it would be like to have Duncan, Deng, Kawhi and Green on the floor at the same time.. perimeter defense galore and of course the Living Legend
That would be pretty cool having 3 wing defenders on the floor and Duncan grabbing all of the other teams bricks. I would love to see the Spurs go after someone like Al Aminu. He can't really shoot but is long, athletic and can board. He is also a combo 4 and on an expiring 1 year $6 million dollar deal. Maybe Chip could help tweak his jumper.
With the bulls waiving Bynum, I've read the heat might have interest in getting him. Why does it seem like they are always in the mix to acquire players? It's like they have no budget limits. Anyways, if they do get him, do they release oden?
They have 1 guy who can screw around and get 30/10/10 while playing to the crowd. Outside of their 3 stars all their significant role players serve a purpose and can consistently deliver on that purpose and since they are old vets they just want rings not worried about money.
Miami has no need to chase after backup 2's or 3's so getting guys like Anderson, Anthony, Oden and possibly Bynum is possible on the cheap. Subsequently though they are lacking at that 2 and 3 so if the 1 guy gets hurt they will be screwed.

I think Motiejunas would fit many teams.
He is not a super star, but he can get minutes.
His salary is very low.
2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 $1,422,720 $1,483,920 $2,288,205
I believe someone would take him.
I see Houston games quite a bit (roommate is a Rockets fan) and from what I've seen of D-Mo, he is a very solid player. Can be a solid rotation player on crappy teams, and could be an x-factor for a playoff team. Teams will definently bite
De Colo for him? Rockets have depth in all position expect a stretch four. Bonner could be appealing too, but numbers would not work.
Montijunas has that international intelligence

Sources: Kings offer Thornton or Fredette for Nuggets' Miller. cbsprt.co/1gELANq
The Jimmer! isnt this guy starting to play fairly well?
PHOENIX – The Suns have signed guard Leandro Barbosa (lee-AN-dro BAR-bow-sa) to a 10-day contract, the team has announced.
http://www.nba.com/suns/news/suns-sign-leandro-barbosa
Knowing Rockets, they will ask fro something like 3 unprotected first round picks for Motiejunas.
i like montijunas.
i like bonner,deculo,mills for dunleavy n hinrich tbh
funny that you correctly spelled Dunleavy and Hinrich correctly and misspelled De Colo. Just nitpicking i guess.
