DA and Olowokandi



Somehow the discussion on the list the last couple of days got me obsessing about getting Olowokandi and/or Derek Anderson. Would be possible to pry Kandi loose from Donald T. ? He may be raw, but he does get 8.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and he is what Pot will never be - an athletic 7-1. Perhaps some kind of package involving Kandi, a signed Derek Anderson + filler for picks + one of our big 4 would do the trick? (I don't think we'd able to sign Derek as a FA to a mid-level exception.) If we got Kandi and Anderson, who, and what, would be worth giving up? Even Elgin would ask for Pierce first, whom we probably don't want to give up for Kandi and DA. Or do we? They won't want Kenny, but might be sufficiently intrigued by either Pot - because he's a decent C/PF signed for 6 years to reasonable money - or Antoine's talent (if not the size of his contract). After all, their starting PF is splitting after the season.
Then again, I just looked at the Clippers' salaries, and there isn't a single contract bigger than $12M. Amazing.

PS It looks like Vince is leaving Pierce in the dust...
