That's swell (if true). So they'll have Birdman AND K-Mart. And we have ... Fab Melo.

"Interested in signing" and "signed" are two very different things.

I hear Miami is just as interested in signing Lou Amundson.

Tim Hardaway would lose his mind.

Chris Andersen is averaging half a block in 10 minutes per game. Given that he doesn't do anything else well... yeah, I'd rather have Fab Melo.

No thanks. I'd rather have a guy out there that knows what he's doing, not clumsily just floating around the court wasting space.

Huh?  Andersen's rebounding (not to mention his quickness covering ground defensively) has always been a big part of his appeal too and he's rebounding at a rate that would best anybody on our roster.

Unbelievable........screw danny.

Why?

I, for one, have no interest in Kenyon Martin. He's a poor rebounder and defender, and his career field goal percentage is below the league average. There are more than enough reasons not to like K-Mart, even ignoring his age.

Luckily, Danny understands these things.

Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI

"Martin thought he had a deal with Boston last summer. Celtics brought back Chris Wilcox instead. If he's in shape, he will help"

This was in reference to the knicks signing him.  So danny did look at him in the summer.  Must have not liked what he saw or heard.

Yeah, lucky for us. Now we can keep wilcox and fab backing up KG.  ::) This isn't about kmart being an amazing player. This is about US NEEDING BIG MEN DESPERATELY. The clippers don't get out the first round without kmart, nuff said.

You DO realize that Kenyon Martin isn't the only big man available off of the waiver wire or free agency, right? Unless Danny passes the deadline without having added anyone, your complaint holds no water.

Yeah, Martin's 5 points per game in 15 minutes of time were SUPER valuable. There's no way that the Clippers could have beaten the Grizzlies in 7 games. Without Martin's 5 points the only contributions they had were Chris Paul's paltry 20 points and 7 assists per game, or Blake Griffin's 18pts/7 rebounds per game.

Come on, man, you can disagree with me all you want, but there's no use in lying like this. Martin barely played in that Grizzlies series, and didn't even play that well when he did.

Why do they need a big? Jordan Crawford is 6'4". That's big to me.

You clearly didn't watch the series and instead looking up stats to try to prove your point. Have fun watching bass play the 5 and wilcox as our only big man off the bench, enjoy.

Come on. Bass was a beast last night guarding Dwight. Seriously though, a KG, Bass, Wilcox front line rotation doesn't generate a whole lot of confidence. I know, Green can play the 4, blah blah blah.

It doesn't generate _any_ confidence. But then again, having Collins (or, indeed, Martin) doesn't make me any more confident -- and I'm not quite sure which one of the guys that got traded at the deadline would have.
