That's it.
Who might be available via free agency or after buyouts?
Note: Thank you Jajwanda for being at the forefront of asking this question that I've have been asking since the summer ... before Kobe and Walton went down. As far as I'm concerned Walton is as productive in street clothes as he is in games.

Perhaps the Kings will waive Dom McGuire (doubt he gets in behind Casspi and Greene)?

^GOOD ONE!
I didn't know he was traded. He's a good player (defense, long, and handles) and he's from SoCal (I think?).

I'll be honest we need to upgrade, I would like to go for McGrady. On what you said about Walton as a player, if you haven't noticed that the ball flows much better with him on the floor. He may not scor like other player but he does all the things that don't show up on the stat sheet.

^I really don't want to get into it with you dude but for all of Walton's "good ball movement" I could probably find 300 or so role players in the league or out of the league that would help us in more TANGIBLE ways than Walton's invisible assistance.

Farmar's a free agent NOW. He can't be traded unless it's a sign and trade.
But even if he wasn't a free agent, the Wiz IMO value Young more than Farmar with Randy Foye, Arenas, and Boykins already on the roster.
Who is and might be available via free agency now?

Unfortunately NOBODY can be traded now.
It's all waiver wire Pickups moving forward.
Trade talk starts again in 4 months though

(side note: 4 mo's 11 days til Sasha becomes trade'able expiring)

There will be a few players. Don't worry about that. It's just a question of whether or not Buss will pay. I get the impression he'd rather take his 95k S550 with a flat tire just because he's spent so much money to buy the S550 in the first place.

Larry Hughes.
Notwithstanding his erratic jumper and questionable attitude ... he'd be perfect.
