    Didn't see a topic dedicated to this, so may as well have one much like the draft topic.

    Ric Bucher says we will be after Kaman

    I think teams will over pay for Kaman, so I dont want us to have any part of that.

    That seems like a waste to me. When was the last time he stayed healthy for a majority of a season?

    I am guessing Bucher based that assumption SOLEY on the fact our new GM has a relationship with Kaman and N.O has a short relationship with Kaman........ and both need centers. Other than that he has no other information.

    The issue with that is our GM said he wants guys that are going to be here long term.

    Really? Why am I thinking he missed a huge chunk of games?

    If we strike out on the top free agents we could look at Kaman for a one or two year deal. Kind of how the Warriors paid Kwame Brown $7million for one year. They had missed out on DeAndre Jordan and had no other use for cap room so just decided to blow it on the best big man available for one year and try again next off-season.

    If we have no other use of cap space and Kaman could be the missing piece to fill a hole in the roster at center sure lets take a look at it. But if we are multiple players away from being a second round playoff team I think I'd rather just keep the cap space and utilize it to bring in a superior long-term asset at the trade deadline.

    He's an extremely inefficient black hole. Please no.

    Part of the logic of the Kwame Brown deal was that it also provides a nice expiring contract to move at the deadline. It ended up helping us get Bogut.
