Said it before and I will say it again... K-Mart for Cat and either Kenny or Skinner. K-Mart- big time rebounder, great finisher, working on an outside jumper. Basically, K-Mart is Kenny Thomas, but two inches taller (and all the good things that come with two extra inches- namely better defense and rebounding)
Actually K-Mart is NOT a very good rebounder, certianly no better than Kenny. And is maybe an inch taller. Quite undersized as well, and was exposed a bit this year out West. Certianly horribly overpaid. His defensive focus would be appreciated, but you need to fast break all the time to get mucb out of hm on the other end. Pretty good passer thuogh, which is always useful in our system. Jsut too damn expensive -- nowhere close to a max player.

Marshall has always struck me as the ultimate "6th man."
For whatever reason he never stuck with a team. Good rebounder, perimeter shooter, long and fairly athletic. Marshall can play the 3/4. Not sure at 32 years old you can sign him to a long term deal but I wouldn't mind seeing him as the first forward off the bench.

Yeah, I was arguing for his aquistion this year before the deadline. Would seem to have the skills and versatility we need, good size, plays the 4/3, rebounds, blocks shots...just something missing there somewhere. Always on losing teams. They all give up on him. The 'soft" label seems to dog him. Seems like a good fit for us, but maybe in too many ways. 
The problem with him is would he get any time for us? There's always an element of "playing the coach" involved in acquisitions (and here I'm assuming Rick is back). Doesn't matter who we pick up if the coach won't play him. Personally, if I were the Kings GM I would be tempted intentionally starve the team of depth and offensive minded veterans in order to more or less force the coach to play the guys I rbought in to fix problems.
That's the problem. Despite what people think, Rick Adelman's record as a coach is remarkable. Before he's done he's literally going to be one of the 10 winningest coaches of all time. But I absolutely do NOT trust him to play defensive role players without offensive skill -- he doesn't "get" them at some level. The beauty of Doug and a younger Bobby were that they could play both sides well enough so as not to offend rick's offensive sensibilities. The only guy who really has been successful getting minutes without offense was Scot Pollard, and Rick's confidence in him was freqently shaky.
Larry Hughes is not a great one-on-one defender. He is, though, a tremendous help defender and plays passing lanes very well. All his steals are off of playing the passing lanes, which would be something new to the kings However, he is not as good a one-on-one defender. I would still love to have him on the Kings. He can fit into our system very well but still be able to take his man to the rim (again, something new to the kings).
