had this idea earlier.

now the rockets have a lot of young players, some of them are not very good but they are cheap and young and COULD be good just no one really knows... that said they need a center and a 1 year kaman rental i think could work for them.

So in theory the hornets want young players / cheap salaries in the right rebuilding plan. So maybe we trade them aminu, bledsoe, minny pick for paul, we trade kaman to the rockets for some combination of thabeet (yes he sucks, but he's young!) , jordan hill, terrence williams, chase budinger, courtney lee, goran dragic , patrick patterson, the pick that they were going to send new orleans in the original lakers trade.

I mean if the league really wants to go young , getting a pick from minnesota, their own lottery pick for 2012, and this houston pick and some combination of our and the rocket's young guys would work right?

Most of those guys are kind of iffy, but they are all on rookie deals or extremely cheap making the hornets roster pretty flexible for new owners, plus they'd have all this potentially cheap young talent. on rookie contracts / qualifying offers and such.

of course david stern would do it, but its an idea.

i would think this would be a good idea even without the hornets, but clippers dont have enough spots on the roster to add that many guys. but it seems like a venue for a "get something for kaman" move
