Bonzi Wells may be going home again.
According to draftexpress.com, the Kings and Indiana Pacers are discussing a sign-and-trade that would send the free-agent shooting guard to his home state and bring center Jeff Foster and point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius to Sacramento.

Reached late Monday night, Wells' agent, William Phillips, told The Bee that a sign-and-trade was a definite part of the slow-moving discussions, and that one team had "come up the board" among the six teams he's been negotiating with. Reportedly, the Kings' contract offer was for five years and $36 million, which would be a pay cut from the $8 million Wells earned last season.


But doing the deal involving Foster - a 6-11 center/forward who will make $5.2 million this season - and Jasikevicius - a 6-4 guard who will make $4 million - would certainly give Wells the money he desires while giving the Kings the depth down low they need, not to mention a promising point guard.
Per the terms of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, the salaries of the players in sign-and-trade deals must be within 25 percent of each other, meaning Wells' salary could range from $6.9 million to $11.5 million.

They really will have a log jam at the three and the two plus they will need Front court players.

I would try to trade for Jax and try to dump JJ. Maybe a trade like Butler & JJ for Stephen Jackson.... makes sense to me.

If they get bonzi then jax will be gone I think that's a given. Everyone was blaming jax at the end of the year for their season. Jax said himself that it seems like the organization and the players have up on him.

I'd take jax before Al Harrington. I would not trade anybody other than trash though cuz I hate Indiana. Jax is a soldier though.

Malik for Jax works

Why are we talking about Stephen Jackson? Dude has 4 more years on his contract and is a head case. I not completely sure, but I don't think he plays much D either.

How is Bonzi going to play for the Pacers if he's dead? I thought Artest said he would kill him if he left the Kings?

There are very few trade possibilites for Jerome James because he is so terrible and overpaid given his production. I would like to see isiah try to do a jerome james for brian cardinal deal -they both run the same length, but cardinals a good defender/hustler that plays the 3, good character guy it doesn't hurt to have. neither will get any playing time probably, but we have a bigger hole at the 3 right now anyway, and we don't take on any more salary.
