I like mike but...he is really playing poor.
Do you really see him being dealt by the deadline?

i wouldnt mind if bibby were traded to toronto for tj ford and rasho... i dont like rasho but he'd be a better back up center than corliss... i like ford but he is kinda injury prone.... but i like his game...
I say he gets traded before the deadline.Bibby still can declare himself a free agent after the season, leave a guaranteed $28 million on the table and hope to get a longer deal from Sacramento or another team to top that. The time is right: He will be 29 when bidding opens July 1, putting him in position to get a deal now and maybe even another one after. The time is not right: He's shooting 38.9 percent.
Except that July is forever away on the Kings' timeline. They actually are down to days of considering a pivotal move, with the trade deadline Feb. 22 and the threat of losing Bibby for nothing in the summer if they don't swap soon. Not that they need reminding, but no true point guard is in line behind him, and it's a weak draft for the position.
So joined are the sides that it is unlikely a trade could be completed without approval from Bibby/Falk. No team would relinquish the assets it would take to acquire Bibby without an indication of whether he would like the new location or have the moving van idling outside the arena in a July 1 dash out the door.
"As far as trades go, if there's something that would make sense for us, either short term or long term, and I'm not talking specifically about Mike, I think we would be inclined to do one," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. The potential of Bibby leaving for nothing in July will not have an impact in February, in other words. Besides, if he walks, the Kings could get approximately $16 million under the salary cap, depending on other roster decisions and the eventual cap number. Having the money and spending it, though, are not necessarily the same thing.
here is a trade i would like to do.

Ron Artest

then we could trade Bibby for cap space and a young player. We then become a major player in the market in the end of the year. That would leave us with a salary around 29 million before signing Darko.
ok, now this is selling artest for too little. we don't really get much talent in return. we have to get a pretty good young talent and/or a mid first pick.
