Rebound

That's where the possibility of getting Tyson Chandler comes to mind. Unfortunately, I doubt the Kings could get him.

I hope Petrie thinks about these guys during the offseason ..

Ron Artest
Corey Maggette
Tyson Chandler

If there's anyone else that can help in defense, scoring in the paint, and rebounding I'm all for signing him.
 
yeah it's getting a little old. sonics miss a shot, sonics get the rebound. brad miller was terrible in the 4th. i feel bad for him.
 
I think the Kings just need to keep Eddie House and Maurice Evans. Then they do a sign and trade with Cuttino MObley for a guy that is TALL and that can REBOUND.
 
chicago can match any offer sheets to chandler & curry and their GM has already stated they'll match any sheet, so cross them off your list.
 
The Kings flaw have always been rebounding for a long time now. Basically when it came down to clutch situation, their weakness/flaw came out (rebounding). I wish they can rebound, but that's an area they're not great at.
 
Unless the ENTIRE team is dedicated to playing defense then going out and getting Ron Artest makes no difference. Defense is as much about teamword as offense.

That may be true, however, I wasn't talking about defense, I was talking about getting a player who can REBOUND the damn ball.

Yeah. Believe what GM's say to the paper.

Curry's available. He sat out the playoffs with health trouble. Anyone like that is available for a certain price.
 
I'm sorry. I don't care how good at anything Artest is, he's a proven head case. Who needs that? Ask Portland about signing or trading for head cases. No thanks. I'd be gravely disappointed in Petrie if he would even consider such a bad character guy.
 
I don't think getting a good defender is a good idea. Simple as that RA never uses a guy who can't score. It's all about the play strategy that RA puts in this team. He seems to care more on offense than defense and that's why we always see five players who can score on the floor all time. Hence, as long as Miller can't score or Mobley not getting an injury, Brian Skinner/Ostertag/Mo Evans hardly get a chance to play. If we want to watch a fun basketball team then I think we can go with RA but if we want team that can win a champion ring then RA must go.

Better yet ask Detroit. Look at how big of a flop Rasheed has been. Oh wait....

Actually, what I heard about Rasheed as a person in Portland was that he was a great guy. Extremely involved in the community, very generous and very well-like by his teammates. If all that's true, then I'm glad he's found a team he loves in DEtroit.

I haven't heard anything quite like those accolades about Artest. And Artest's behavioral exhibitions have been far worse than anything I ever saw from Rasheed. Artest could seriously injure someone in one of his blowups. I'm surprised he hasn't yet.
 
I'll support VF21 in her keep offseason threads on topic mantra.

In terms of rebounders, there are some of the better rebound per 48 guys out there available this summer:

1.Reggie Evans 18.8
2.Dan Gadzuric 18.1
3. Tyson Chandler 17.0 (restricted, and will probably be out of our range)
13. Samuel Dalambert 14.6 (ditto, although he may want out if 76ers keep O'Brien)
