    The #Blazers and reps of C Chris Kaman are expected to meet face-to-face once free agency opens, per source w/ knowledge of the meeting.

    According to the source, both Kaman and the #Blazers think the unrestricted free agent would be a “great fit” with team next season.

    Is that going to move the needle with LMA? Not so sure it would.

    I'm down with this. I've always admired Kaman's skill level. He could be a good mentor for Leonard.

    LMA going to think Kaman is the missing piece and want to stay? Can't see it.

    I don't like him as much as Asik or Pekovic though. Fur sure.

    He almost signed with us before signing with Dallas, right? Wouldn't be horrible to have him as a back up plan if Asik or whoever didn't work out.

    This was not what I expected. Not bad, but not a home run for sure.

    It's really not that bad.

    They're obviously not going to offer anything more than 2 years. It gives them a chance to contend (at least for the playoffs) if Kaman stays healthy. If not, he and Aldridge expire in the same year and we rebuild completely then.

    Yeah, it's kind of underwhelming, but the options out there aren't really great. Let's be honest here.

    That's what I remember, Portland was his second choice.

    So at this rate, Portland may just keep adding players without giving up any.

    Asset acquisition the Olshey way.
