I am amused though that outside of Beno's new lead contract that the one malcontent to survive the great purge, the one cockroach that jsut simply cannot be killed, is the Kenny contract. 
The world may end tommorow, we'll all be off in purgatory, and we'll still be paying Kenny. Amazing.

With RFA's coming off of a rookie contract, are we obligated to a minimum qualifying offer? If so, both are a little overpriced right now as is, relative to their past and current performance.
If these guys perform well (which in a sick, sad way, I hope not as it screws our lottery chances), it'd be worthy to sign them for cheap and short-term...otherwise we have plenty of roleplayers.

Yeah, that's the upside. We got virtually nothing of value out of all this mess, no positives, but we jettisoned negatives left and right.
Is should note BTW that that is not a very good team, but you're at least approaching the point where the toxic assets (Beno, Nocioni, K9) are in the minority (assuming we do not add more over the summer).

All in all this is not so bad, we can draft a 3rd big man or our PG of the future and then sign someone to fill the other gap. If we get real lucky we win the lotto and can trade the #1 to accomplish both. If none of the guys listed at the 3 can spill KMart at the 2 then we'll probably still have the first pick in the 2nd round to fill the most abundant position in the league.
Well... and K9 will be a coveted expiring next year right? So this is really truly not too bad a setup is it? The only real albatrosses are Beno and Nocioni, and they are neither FATALLY expensive nor FATALLY sucky players compared to some alternatives. You should be able to drag them around a few years at those wages and still be a good team if you don't make other errors.
I feel like Geoff sort of has gotten a mulligan on Shareef. Salmons and Mikki. Lets see what he does with it.

I don't necessarily want Gooden, but would it really be such a bad thing if McCants and Diogu proved themselves to be worthy of a larger contract? The purpose of a rebuild is to create a young core that can grow while still competing. It's not like they will be earning max contracts either.
With that said, I'm just going to wait and see what happens. If they don't seem to make the cut, then we have our expiring contracts. If they prove themselves and we find more pieces for a young core, then great. I don't know a whole lot about McCants or Diogu so I won't begin to pretend that i do. I just think that if they were to show worth to our team, it wouldn't be such a bad thing considering they are young and their contracts won't be too heavy.
