Barbosa?

[pupsingh]

didnt see his name mentioned anywhere. Free agent this summer. Good 3 pt shooter, been on some winning teams, avg 13 pts a game with toronto in 24 mins a game. Possibly a good fit next to tyreke.

Maybe use the cap space to sign him along with tayshaun prince. Then draft the best PF prospect:

Tyreke
Barbosa
Cousins
Prince
Rookie

bench:
Garcia
Beno
Casspi
JT
Whiteside
DJax
Jeter

that seems like a team with a good mix of youth surrounded by some experienced vets. Also addresses the need of shooting.

I guess it just depends on how much it would cost to get those two, which would undoubtedly be more then they are worth, but by how much?

Barbosa and Prince would be good additions. the prospect of either one doesn't really excite me but based on the free agents that will be available, they're about the caliber of player The Kings will probably have to settle for if they want to add some veteran experience. They could be pretty valuable over the next two or three seasons during the maturation process of the young core.

Barbossa is another guy who plays no defense. At all.

Prince is possible. Depends on hwo things do or do not develop for our kids the remainder fo the year. He's getting long in the tooth unless we are ready to make a move.

Its always if a player is good at in one area then lacks in the other area.
Is there any player who can shoot lights out, depend, is cheap and available? Or are we looking for a star or superstar?

We're looking for defense. That's how teams, especialy teams that are going to be built aroudn two physical halfcourt mismatch nightmares, win big. The other guys have to be able to a) shoot, and b) defend. Creating for themselves is not really necessary.

No thanks. Barbosa is great in a wide open offense which we don't run here at Sac.. I feel we have pretty solid rotational players already on the roster and need to shore up our starting lineup better... There are quite a few gap fillers that will be FA's this summer that I would prefer to spend money on..
