Any way we can bring in a Ben McLemore?

Sounds like the Kings want to clean up their roster a bit, moving Gay, Koufos and McLemore. I like the size he presents and would be interested in him coming in and sharing minutes at the 2.

Do we have enough to bring him in? If we moved Splitter/or one of our #1s next year, perhaps it could make sense. I know we have 16 contracts right now, and would need to move a couple of those off.

But McLemore would improve our backcourt, and we have a chance to see what he can do before we have to extend his contract.

Thabo and Splitter for B Mac and Koufos would be great. Even better would be adding in Gay, THJ, and Minny first. Cut Delaney.

Do we really need another 6'-5" guy with Bazemore (6'-5") THjr (6'-6") Bembry (6'-6") ?

Particularly one that doesn't offer anything better.

For those who don't think McLemore has any skillset:

Cleveland has offered Moe Williams and a future pick, trying to get him in there on the cheap.

Kings rep wants Milsap for Gay/McLemore.

I'm not giving up Sap for those 2, but I would like to see him in our lineup.

Where did you hear that Cavs rumor? Also no way the Kings get Millsap for Gay/McLemore. Guess you can't blame them for asking
