Please don't eat me alive, but he is a defensive big just like Perkins. Would he fit? I know he has character issues.

To play 10-15 minutes a game he would still be the best big off the bench. I'm all for this one. He is mobile and scores al little better than Perk.

To be honest, I would even say he is better than Perk. With our choaching staff and character on the team, we could really get the best out of him.

I've always said that this teams lacked a back up point and another big man. This pick up with ET would make us TRUE contenders.

We don't need him. I would rather have Powe/Big Baby coming off the bench. Brown would drop the passes that KG would throw to him. Brown's biggest strength is his post defense and Perk already gives us that. Kwame should go to Phoenix.

Seriously, the only potential free agents that I would consider are Sam Cassell and Kurt Thomas. Everyone else is unnecessary and just adding someone just to add someone.

Kwame's now the best available big. So he didn't live up to the hype and caved under the unfair pressure put on him in LA (expectations from #1 pick and trading Caron for him), he can still do a lot and would be a very solid defensive big off the bench for 10-20 minutes which is all we'd want. He'd certainly be a better option than Chris Andersen, but I'm not sure if we really need another big at all.

Yes, If I'm Danny I call him up and say "Remember when those Laker's fans booed you viciously? Do you really want to go back to that? F*&k them, sign with us. Win a title and be appreciated."

KB is ten times more mobile than Perk and could defend the pick and roll better. He is also insurance in case KG is in foul trouble. We can't always win playing midget ball. He comes at the best price available----FREE

+1. Also, we can't rely on Big Baby and Powe in the playoffs (Scalawho?).

Big baby and Powe are also short for their positions. KB is at least 6'11.

Id like Kwame
Its not like we need him to score 10 points per game.
He is a low post defensive presence, which we need
And maybe when we meet the Lakers in the Finals he will go crazy

haha. Well it is tempting just because of the possibility that it could come back to bite the Lakers. However, I don't think he has anything going for him besides his height.
