His expiring contract has to peak the interest of teams expecting to make a push for Dwight Howard, Deron Williams and other free agents available this summer.

Plus, despite the poor play, he still has somewhat of an upside of he gains back his confidence. boris Diaw's only value is his expiring contract and certainly not his play of late.

Boris has no motor, and Tyrus just has too much left on the books. Plus that would give Bis some more PT to develop. We are already last in the league in scoring, so it can't really go downhill anymore. Bring in some picks please. I wouldn’t mind seeing us move both of them.

I'm not a big fan of thinking up wild, maniacal never-gonna-happen trades, but I think this one is feasible and helps all three teams.

He's a top 6 defender (when it comes to defensive-rating), top 15 in defensive win-shares, top 20 in block percentage and top 20 in total rebound percentage all-time. He's also won defensive POY 4 times, made the NBA first team all-defensive-team five times and made the All-NBA second team three times. He's also got a ring. I hope that is enough to get him in.

The same can be said for Davis though. If Kentucky needed him to drop 20 ppg he could definitely do it. I read a post on Realgm.com that said Kentucky doesn't even run plays for him on offense. I don't think Charlotte should even think of picking anyone else besides those two if they have the #1 or #2 pick in the draft. Biyombo will be fine at center even if he doesn't grow (height wise). Ben Wallace won defensive POY awards as an undersized center, because he could get up, get rebounds, and push people out of the paint.

Yea some news on Davis, forgot he was 6ft 1 as a junior in high school....the problem is he still dosent ahve a low post game, YET i just want to see him gain weight, and iff ibaka can gain 2 inches he will be a monster i doubt he wont gain weight, considering how he got to 230-240 at the Congo and Spain is amazing, but u saw what the problem it will be with him becing a center tonight against Hibbert, he was just to small for him and they had to put diop on hibbert, who did terrible, and made things almost worse, as of right now im either taking Davis or Barnes, alot of people dont like Barnes because he isnt scoring 20 a night on a very good Carolina team of which can make it deep without having to ride his ass all the way, let Barnes stay healthy before u put it all on him, which i think is why we arnt seeing Barnes go off everynight, Drummond maybe, but he looks like he has no interest in basketball, Sullinger HELL NO< he will be a average role player, not physically gifted enough to be elite, he has all the moves of an nba low post player, just not the physical attributes, Robinson-who i love, is a tweener and could be a sf i think in the nba, very good ball handling skills for his ssize and a sick spin move when driving and down low, he just needs to get some more low post moves then a fadeaway and a spin move my problem with that, is that Bismack is considered another IBaka, although i think better defensivly, while Ibaka is also considered a rawer, as u like to say, kevin Garnett, Ibaka is compared to Garnett since he IS getting that mid range game and does play like Garnett in alot of field, so now we have 2 Kevin Garnetts? that isnt good against Dwight Howard, but then again how cares? dwight howard cant guard both, i just went against my own argument so i would like two Garnetts, how bout that?
