    Kaman isn't even the worst Laker to be signed by a different team yet. Jodie Meeks?

    Someone wrote that Neil Oshey was in a gunfight with a slingshot when it came to Hawes, Monroe and ever McBob. These centers get snatched up quickly and bottom feeders will overpay. I think Neil did what he had to to get a better bench. The first 3 guys all started last year so might not have been happy coming off the bench. Won't be a problem with Kaman

    Re: Kaman a Blazer

    I dunno if I can. I'm not blasting this signing like some in here or anything... I just LOVED Joel

    I don't see how this makes the defense any better though.

    Meeks contract is worse but is a better player.

    riverman's earlier post grabbed my attention and really put it into perspective for me as a fan , forcing me to recall jared Jefferies as the best center off of the bench 2 yrs. ago. NO has improved the blazers.

    At first I was like GOD DAMNIT...

    Now, I like it. I think he'll do well in a defined role. Love that the second year is mostly not guaranteed.

    Hey guys, do you remember when we thought we might be able to get Isiah Thomas for the MLE?

    Remember when we thought we might be able to get Spencer Hawes?

    And then Gortat signed for a bajillion dollars and I knew we were screwed.

    Over the last 4 seasons, he has averaged 46 games a season.

    Would you consider Kaman worth $10 Mil a season? You are paying him $5 Mil for half a season.

    The best thing about the Kaman signing is the contract. We could trade him at trade deadline and give a team salary cap space or let him go at the end of the year and have salary cap space. No way is this designed to have Kaman on the team long term, IMO.
