It looks like the Kings are buying out Jimmer Fredette:

I REALLY want the Suns to pick him up. What do you guys think? We have some dead-weight guards at the end of the rotation, and I still think Jimmer's shooting is going to make him a special player in this league when he finds the right situation.

And cancel Christmas???

Grinch!

Bone! Sup my friend. I'd take a Jimmer over a Christmas any day.

Change it to jimmer.net now?

Shouldnt have signed Barbosa.

I hope we take a look at Jimmer, we can ditch Xmas or Slava in favor of him. Slava has no place here, especially when Horny run Kieff out at the 5.

Laaaaaaaadmoooo

In a word, no.

Same to articles suggesting we snag Danny Granger when he's bought out/released.

It definitely wouldn't hurt us. We live and die by the J/3 and those are his 2 best attributes.

Meantime he gives up 6 points for every 3 he makes - you're comfy with that, I take it?

I'm ok with giving him a shot at the expense of guys who have no role/future here.

I disagree. Barbosa has been a good contributor all things considered. He won't be a plus every night, but any time he makes half his shots he has done his job. He is out there to go one on one and score, and he has done it enough times to be considered a good signing.

I still don't understand why Sacramento was not able to get anything for Jimmer. The moment he's released, 10 teams are rumored to be chasing him. None of these teams was willing to give up a 2nd-round pick for this guy?

Im on the fence with this one. I do like his 3 point shooting, but that is about it. I say we finish the year off with our current roster.

Ehhhh.. I don't think so, he's had a couple of good outings, but I think his NBA days are over after the season. He's very mediocre across the board. He can occasionally get to the hole, but its a 50/50 shot on if he makes it, his shooting has been average, he's not a great ballhandler/passer either. Aside from nostalgia, I still don't get why we signed him.

I don't really have interest in Jimmer. Any minutes we're thinking about giving him, we should just give to Archie.

I really don't see the point of signing Jimmer this season, I would much rather wait in the off-season and see where the team stands then before even thinking about signing Jimmer. I also feel Jimmer might be on his way out the league in another season or two.

I recognize that he has flaws. But he's hitting 49.3% on threes this year. You can't tell me a guy like that doesn't have a place in this league. I really believe he just needs to find the right situation.

I actually totally agree. I'm just not sure if he will ever find that right situation before he gets stigma of just not being good enough hang in the league and teams just stop looking at him.

I agree that he could find the right place. In fact, I think that Philly this year would be a good one for him. Unfortunately, some guys get branded in the wrong direction, and he might have to go to Europe to earn his value back to the league.

Being a 3 point shooting team, i see him as a good fit. Not sure where the mins will come from, but worth a shot for the rest of the season i think.
