Sacramento wants to keep him, Charlotte needs a center,... I would be ok in the 13-15 per range, I am affraid he will get 20 per. 

I actually like Clippers team construction. Have a decent cheap centre to fight those couple of rare offensive bigs and long big wings. So if I am moving from KP, I would be perfectly fine with someone like Noel or Birch as a center at MLE level (or lower) contract, while I invest the rest into 3-D guards and wings.
