Waived by Charlotte today, think we should take a look at him after he clears waivers? Distributing PG who plays good defense, I just don't believe in Ronnie Price that much.
Brevin Knight? (merged)

Bobcats waive veteran Knight after three years in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Bobcats waived veteran Brevin Knight on Friday, leaving the team without a backup point guard.
Knight had a buyout clause in his contract worth $1.5 million. He was scheduled to make just over $4 million next season.
Knight
Knight was one of the Bobcats' first free-agent signings and started in the team's inaugural season in 2004-05. The Bobcats drafted Raymond Felton with the fifth pick in the 2005 draft, and he eventually replaced Knight in the starting lineup.
The 31-year-old Knight averaged 9.1 points and 6.6 assists per game last season, but was limited to 45 games. Charlotte was Knight's seventh team since being Cleveland's first round pick in 1997.
"The professionalism that he brought to this team, both on and off the court, makes this a tough decision," said Bernie Bickerstaff, Charlotte's vice president of basketball operations. "His contributions to this young franchise will continue to have an impact on our younger players as we move forward."
The move means the Bobcats will likely need to sign another point guard before next season to back up Felton, who averaged 14 points and seven assists last season.
The Bobcats acquired Jeff McInnis midway through last season, but he averaged only 4.3 points and 3.3 assists in 38 games. It's uncertain if he'll return next season.

do not need him anymore.
As an aside, why oh why did they just waive him? With Cleveland, Miami, Houston all in the PG market at least, they couldn't get anything for him? Kind of annoying actually because somebody may nab him, say "good enough", and soften the Bibby market.

Prospect
I've always liked the guy, but I'm not sure he'd fit. He'd bring some defensive energy and quickness, but with Bibby and him, the Kings would always have a size disadvantage.
