One would think that he has some value, especially with several teams (Boston, Chicago, Charlotte, LA,...) looking for centers. They were demanding high prices in the past for him. Will they go aggresively after one of the RFAs?
Maybe Claxton's perceived value is much higher than his actual one, either due to unseen issues like locker room problems or motivation ones?
Or maybe Brooklyn wants Kessler?
Or maybe they just really valued Randle?
Honestly now thinking about, doesn't this make Brooklyn the ideal trade up candidate for Dallas? At #9 BRK can select Mara, Mavs can get to #6 and get Acuff?
