    I must have missed this but did he ever get surgery on his hand?

    If Lamarcus is such a done deal to San Antonio why do the Spurs feel the need to show up at his house with the GM, Coach, Tim and Tony. Sounds like they feel a lot of persuading might be needed.

    So if Lamarcus is leaving why would we spend the money and hang on to Kaman when rebuilding would be the focus.

    I'm happy for him to be trade bait or a big man coach to Vonleh, Plumlee, and Leonard. $5 mil is worth that.

    Trade bait I can deal with. I just don't want him playing anymore for us. He definitely declined last year throughout the season.

    Guys are you not piecing stuff together, too busy wallowing in misery? Wojo says it's between Blazers and Spurs. Spurs feel they have to send a a full squad of people to woo him. Spurs will have to renounce several of their key players to make it work... Now even Chris Broussard, who has been the biggest Lamarcus is leaving whistle blower, is saying don't count the Blazers out. Also the Blazers are hanging on to Kaman which would be stupid if they are entering rebuild mode.

    Quit moping and actually pay attention to what is happening.

    That's a bit unfair because Lopez and Freeland went down with injuries. We were supposed to limit his minutes, but instead we played him like a starter. Everyone in here and around the league knew this was impossible. I'm actually surprised he actually made it through the season playing those heavy minutes!

    I'd rather have 4 million in capspace than Kaman.

    What's unfair? What I said about him declining is true. He's old for basketball. I also would rather him not play for us. I think we could get better use playing Vonleh or Beebs.

    Or on the flip were going to need his contract to trade if/when we can't land anyone in free agency.

    I don't believe for one minute that Kaman will be a Blazer before next season starts. So the "minute fiasco" will be moot.

    I think he's going to Indiana personally
