Even though the Cavaliers seem enamored at the thoughts of pairing Mike Bibby with LeBron James, many around the league don't think it will happen.

If the Sacramento Kings insist on the Cavs taking back Kenny Thomas' contract, that could be a deal-breaker, several league sources indicate.

The 6-foot-7, 245-pound Thomas has two years worth $17.3 million remaining on his contract after this season. The Cavs' salary cap is already screwed up. Taking on Thomas' contract -- in addition to Bibby's $14.5 million next year -- would send it into oblivion.

The Kings would also probably like a first-round pick, too, which the Cavs should keep. They need to add a legitimate talent to this roster, even if it is a rookie.
