Ah, but here's the rub. I agree that Homes excels with the PnR, but one of the better PnR guards in league was sent packing to Indy. Who exactly is going to run the PnR with him when he's in as a sub? Mitchell? I love him but he's not close to Halliburton's skills in that regard, which means again that Holmes value for this team goes down because he doesn't have someone as good to give him easy looks in the PnR like he had with Halliburton. By playing a lot more PnR with Holmes you may give him more shots at the basket, but you are not playing to the strength of your guards. Something has got to give, and I think the Kings will and should trade him to a team that is more able to utilize his PnR talents.
With respect to your question, since the big trade last year I've been hoping to package Holmes and Barnes to get an athletic 3, which this team desperately needs. I don't know who is available or what would be required in that regard. But I would expect McNair to talk to teams like Indy who do have an excellent PnR guard (e.g. Halliburton) because Holmes's value to them would be maximized, which means he should be able to get more in trade from them.
It's not like McNair is blind to the deficiency in the roster.
