    With his post game, Amar'e would actually be a decent replacement for Kaman if he were included in a trade for a wing. Their advanced stats are pretty similar, Amar'e being clearly the superior offensive player.

    Hey did anyone else see a picture somewhere today of nate Robinson wearing an old Portland finals cap? I could have sworn I saw it online somewhere today. Wonder if it means anything...

    Anyone else even remotely interested in Nik Stauskus from Sac town? I haven't seen enough of him yet, But I remember really thinking he could be decent during the draft. Not sure he's better than any of our Shooting guards that are coming off the bench. He is said to be a quick release shooter and that's always worth looking at. He didn't get much of a look in Sac. But that roster has been a mess for a long time....... Maybe a 3 way trade between Denver?

    Amare has horrible defensive instincts. Playing under D'Antoni for the majority of his career destroyed his defensive development. We don't need him.

    If we got him, it wouldn't be for his defense. It would be because he is a highly efficient offensive player who can give quick points from the post in limited minutes off the bench.

    The next player to hit the market after a buyout: Larry Sanders.

    What a wasted talent. Iirc he wants to retire.

    I know, I just don't think we need that. And with his potential deficiencies, I doubt Stotts would even play him.

    Kaman got scouted, but I'm sure he's gonna come back and help us to finish the season. This 9 day break will be massive for our team's health. Would much rather pursue a wing than another addition to our sorta crowded front line.

    Meh, I want a wing scorer then. It's easier to cover a wing than covering a center's lack of defense.

    Lowe is on point. Our pick next year isn't useless, but it makes more sense to trade it now.

    We don't need amare. I'd rather have Leonard offensively, and id rather have freeland defensively.

    Context. I only said Amar'e would be good as a replacement for Kaman's post offense if he were included in a trade, i.e., for a wing scorer.

    And to think that some would have been ok with getting him in return if we had to move Aldridge.
