Thomas is still useful to us to be trading for nothing such as this trade. I am doing it to get $ off the books and open the door for Barnes. I like KT's ability to go after the ball and get rebounds and his ability to score. His defense is suspect because of his height but he is more useful to us than Corlis.
OFFICIAL trade thread. Post trade proposals HERE! (merged)

I think at least one of them is gone, two at the most. But that is a stretch. I wouldn't be that disappointed or anything if they all stayed Kings though, they can be good back-ups. I just put some guys ahead of them.
I wouldn't mind Davis, he's tough and is still a decent/okay big man. Just that he's 37, and is owed 13,900,000 for next season (last year). But age doesn't seem to be much of a factor like PJ Brown.

I really dont care for Kenny to much...If Kenny was 6'9 ,play better defense, and had a better court sense than I would say keep him...but Kenny is very streaky...After his break out 32 point game against the Lakers last year he completly disappered...He stop going for boards and wasent scoring much...I dont know maybe im wrong cause everyone on this thread really jocks him hard...All my friends and other people I talk to agree with me that Kenny is OK...
Does anybody else notice that the stocks of these free agents are dropping the later it gets. Mo was wanting around 4 or 5 mil a year and settled for 3 years 4.5 mil. it makes me wonder about Reggie Evans. I haven't seen many rumors or teams in demand for him. If his stock drops as others have and we could get him for 2 mil or less it would be good. I am interested to see what Songalia is offered.
Hell yeah, I'd love to have Reggie on this team! Reportedly, the T'Wolves have had interest in Evans for a couple weeks or so, and contract talks between Evans and Seattle began last week, and there hasn't been much progress or anything out of them up to this point. That is the only team I've seen interested in him at all since the 76ers way back in July (was just a mention with other guys on a list).
Skinner could split at PF/C or be the back-up center.

1)The problem with Reggie is that he is a restricted FA, so even if we did sign him to a $2mil offer sheet, the Sonics would almost surely match and keep him.
2) of course that's moot because we are totally out of money to throw at FAs now. Only thing we can ioffer is vet minimums, and maybe sing and trades.

I think there's a reason people talk about bleeding talent without considering Corliss or Kenny into the equation. 
That level of "talent" can be had every single year in the FA market with your MLE. Very tough to bleed middling talent away other than just being Sterling-like cheap. Bleeding talent would be losing the special players who are tough to replace, not the middle of the road guys. In any case, if nothing else we partially reversed that trend this summer. Now just a question of the wrong type of talent and not concentrated enough.

Sounds pretty much similiar to my idea that I had but with thomas included in the aswell in the sign and trade along with Corliss. We could even get Nocioni thrown in aswell from there end if we give up a pick.
This would make our line up look like this:
Bibby, Hart, Price
Bonzi, Martin, Garcia
Peja,Nocioni, Barnes
Shareef, Davis, Skinner
Miller, Skinner, Davis
We could than next year use our MLE to sign a back up PF. This would give us addition salary cap flexibility since we would be losing Corliss and Kenny's contracts.

Check this out, I posted it not too long ago in another thread:

And there you have it. He would basically be in the same position he was in in Portland.

How about Corliss for Jumaine Jones? More if necessary. I think Phil would like Corliss, and I think I remember hearing/reading Phil not really liking Jones and he was on the trading block or something like that. I really like Jones' game, and he'd be a really good back-up for Peja, would give us more versatility. In the last year of a cheap contract as well.
