Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

TRADE KAMAN

Can we collectively start to realize that this is season number 6 for Mr. Kaman and he has probably reached his plateau?  We've watched him play his Jekyll and Hyde routine for the last three years, but even when he plays up to his potential, statistically, he is absent at the end of games and is not the type of big man that can carry a team.  He still has high trade value for teams lacking young bigs, and, frankly, I think we could get something better than Jason Richardson for this guy.  I think getting a good backup point guard and a solid scorer or big man off the bench would be a start.  How bout we give the Bobcats Kaman for Raymond Felton and Nazr Mohammed to back up Camby? Anyone?

Amen to that

Kaman has been one of the few stable players this season. And I see no reason to trade him now.

Definitely. NO WAY to THAT!

I vote for not letting Olowakandi making trades. Felton and Nazr ???? Who are we Kevin McHale? Is this the Grizzlies? Do we want Barkley laughing on TNT about how the Clippers gave Kaman away for a happy meal?

Felton/Mohammed>Jason Richardson>Chris Kaman??

The Clippers have a good backup PG in the making with Mike Taylor. Zach Randolph sounds like a formidable scoring big man off the bench who could log the occasional start.

But it’s true that, were Kaman to be traded, it should be for more than just Richardson.

It seems as though you don't value Kaman nearly as high as many of us...

I’m not going to go on and say the man is mega star caliber, but surely he is better than what you propose…

Who will be our big man? Camby? Camby’s contract is done in 2010 and do you really think he will resign and even if he does he is going to be old.

Well we found one guy less qualified than Dunleavy to be GM : D

Why would we trade a top 10 center in his prime for a PG coming out of a rookie contract (who happens to play the same position as our best player) and a backup center so bad he barely plays for a team desperate for any size.

I dislike the Z Bo trade badly, trading Kaman only exacerbates the sitution. If we trade anyone, it should be Camby and we can start the youth movement again.
