Just a feeling, but I see Camby or Kaman to Houston for Battier or something like that.  With Yao's foot injury and Dikembe's certain retirement, they're going to need another center to play alongside Scola...

To Washington for Mike Miller makes sense as well.

While I'm sure nick didn't have him in mind, Brian Skinner is now an unrestricted free agent.

He's not an all-star or high-profile player, but Skinner has made a 10-year career in the league based on hard work and physical play. He'd be a good pickup to bolster our frontcourt depth (certainly an upgrade over Mikki Moore), and could likely be had for a reasonable amount, perhaps even vet minimum (assuming he's opting out to get out of that Clipper organization and contribute to a winning team, and not for a bigger payday than the $1.3 mil he's leaving on the table).

Skinner is exactly the kind of veteran that this team really could have used last season (he's one of the guys i wanted to add 2 years ago) and NEED to add this season. A lot of these guys will be able to be had for the veterans minimum.

Every dime that we spent on OBryant and Moore and not on guys like Skinner, Anderson or even Foyle or Voskuhl was wasted IMO.

I'm hoping/praying that Ainge learned the lesson...
