I think there's more of a likelihood of Kenny being dealt to Seattle,
which apparently wants to make Payton happy and move him over to 
shooting guard.  In return, the C's would have to take back Hershey
Hawkins and Billy Owens.  They might be pretty good coming off the
bench, and both have less time left on their contracts than Kenny.  
And it's easier to deal one of them in a future trade than Kenny.  

Bibby is okay however, in the unlikely event that the Grizzlies become
temporarily insane,  although I think Baron Davis has more potential,
and might consider Mercer for a high lottery pick and take Davis.
