I really believe that adding a player like Kaman next to Duncan now will put this team above both Fakers and Celts. However, I'm sure the Clippers can get more value somewhere else than what the Spurs can offer.

That may put em over, but the Spurs won't entertain the thought of trading for him cause of the contract.

Trading George Hill would be lunacy.....

To be fair, Chris Kaman is a damn good center.

Good defensively, good shot blocker, great on the offensive end.

He would be the end all be all of best centers since David if he came to the Spurs, but its not happening.

One of the issues the Spurs have in any trade is that they have reasonable contracts for the talent level of the players. So outside of the Big Three, we don't have the kind of contracts that match up well to bring in high priced talent. The Spurs also don't have the kind of depth to do these four or five for one trades that some people are proposing. Any player the Spurs trade for (if they do) is going to be way below the 10 million per year mark.

Kaman could be a fantastic player if he was the only guy in the low post on a lousy team, but he is marginal on defense, and not a particular strong outside shooter. What this means is that he probably can't even get off the bench in Pop's system, and would clog the lane up and minimize the effectiveness of the Big 3.

Pass.

All due respect to Matt Bonner, but the Spurs would be stupid to let him stand in the way of landing a legit center to put next to Tim Duncan.

That being said, the Spurs aren't getting Kaman............

Maybe. Bonner, Bowen, Finley, Thomas, Oberto
Expendable. Vaughn, Udoka, Mahinmi, Hairston
Other possible assets. Splitter rights

I just don't see us getting anyone significant (Kaman, Sheed, Camby, Carter) for Maybe and below.

The best part of the article


Make no mistake, it's happening league-wide. The already short-handed Bucks, having lost Michael Redd for the season and Andrew Bogut for two months, may still deal either Charlie Villanueva or Ramon Sessions before the 19th simply because they know it will be impossible to re-sign both of the rising free agents this summer--unless they can find someone to take Richard Jefferson. The Bulls have been shopping Andres Nocioni's remaining four years and $28.5 million as hard as they've offered Tyrus Thomas, Ben Gordon and Larry Hughes. And even though the Clippers have specifically denied it to me, I keep hearing they're still determined to repatriate Chris Kaman, figuring they can go 10-40 just as well without him as with his remaining three years and $33.9 million.

All of which must make Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley stifle a bit of a chuckle.

Heisley was raked over the coals last year when the Grizzlies insisted on expiring contracts, young players and draft picks for Gasol. The Lakers ultimately came up with now 24-year-old center Marc Gasol, guard Javaris Crittenton, a second-round pick in last year's draft and a 2010 first-rounder and Kwame Brown's expiring $9 million deal. (Memphis turned Crittenton into a future first from Washington in December.)

A year later, what is Suns president Steve Kerr looking for in exchange for Stoudemire?

Expiring contracts, young players and first-round picks...

HUH!?!? Hes a good outside shooter and hes always matched up well with Duncan!

http://www.nba.com/hotspots/

Out of the 156 shots he took this year, 108 of them were within 5 feet of the basket. He made 67 of them (62%), outside of that area, he shot 45% on 48 attempts, including 4 of 8 from long range. And that is based on a relatively small sample size, where he actually is better than normal. Last year, out of 699 attemps, 456 were within 5 feet. He shot 39.1% from outside that range.

I wouldn't call him to be particular good outside shooter.

hey, If the clips are willing to take less than fair value because he is overpaid, that's still a win for us, how many more years will the window be open? how many more years does TD keep playing?

we could offer them fabs and bowen, who's salaries add up to just barely within the 125% rule, then they could buy out Bowen, or not, either way they are shedding 30 million in salary, if that's not good enough, we could toss in some picks or cash, or the rights to some foreign player.

and if that's not enough, then yeah, Kaman probably isn't worth it

if the clippers are looking for a salary dump, then the robert horry scenario comes back to play. It all depends who they want. My concern is that this is still the clippers without much playoff experience. he is the 2nd best player on a very bad team. I don't know that I would dump that much chemistry for a position that again has traditionally taken 2-3 yrs for big men to adjust to in the spurs system. his salary is way too big to wait that long.

Garnett's game is mostly shooting 15-18 foot jumpshots and turnarounds/fadeaways. Bynum's game is pushing Matt Bonner under the basket and shooting 3 foot jump hooks over him. Not to mention that life is a little easier for Bonner trying to "handle" Garnett when on the other side of the floor Tim Duncan only has to worry about Kendrick Perkins. Ask Bonner to take on Bynum while Duncan is occupied with Gasol and that's a different situation entirely.

What people don't have to forget is that spurs have a real gem in Splitter.
And it has to be part of the thinking before landing an expensive big in SA.

Should the spurs sacrifice valuable pieces of their current (and future) roster to get now a fat contract center while they have rights of a promising (and already accomplished in Europe) 23 years old center. Not to mention the 2010 plan.

I don't know spurs FO's state of mind and if they want to optimize duncan's last supposed contending years, but Hill, Mason and Tiago along with Tony and hopefully Ian are the future of SA.

If Tiago turns out to be what I think he can in NBA and with the 2010 plan,
spurs could even extend the contending window, in Tim's last years in SA if they can keep that core.

Only when Rasheed is in the post. Since he's spent almost no time there since Larry Brown left, his impact has been lessened considerably. If 'sheed isn't inside fifteen feet on the offensive end, he and Bonner are remarkably similar, despite Bonner's huge talent defecit.

Defense? One guy is 7 feet with about a 9'4" standing reach while the other guy is 6'10" with a 8'8" standing reach.

Plus Sheed can finish inside and still has a Post game which he can utilise when hes shot isnt falling - he may not use it much, but its still there. He sets better screens, and is a smarter player.

The only similarity is they shoot threes, other than that - not much.

Matt Bonner is my homie, but Sheed is a much more complete player. Additionally, I think Pop could exert quite the influence over his positions on the floor, and turn him back into more of a post player, while spreading the floor for the Big 3 when it was time for the bread and butter plays. The most important facet of Sheed's game is his defense. He brings a defensive intensity Bonner doesn't possess, though he tries.

26 points from garnett is still 26 points from a bigman scored against the spurs. i just watched the replay of the game on espn last night. bonner barely contested garnett's shots. he can be in front of garnett with his hands up and he would just easily shoot over him. i saw kendrick perkins back down bonner and score at least twice. rivers would not be consistently going to garnett and even perkins if bonner was bothering either one of them.

bonner was not playing bad defense, he just doesn't have the physical assets to bother opposing centers. bynum is 2 inches taller than perkins with a longer wingspan. bonner won't effectively deny bynum position or stop him from backing down and shooting over him with a small hook. i like his effort but it's not enough.

bonner was not playing bad defense, he just doesn't have the physical assets to bother opposing centers. right, and what physical assets does Duncan have that make him so much more physically capable then Bonner?

wow you sound like you have a crush on bonner. tell someone who watched bynum play every game that bonner can guard bynum and they will laugh you out of the building. there's more to defense than just staying in front of your opponent with your hands up. TD and thomas will get it right playoff time. i never said a trade was needed just that bonner can't guard bynum. is that too much to hear from a bonner fan like yourself?

kurt thomas plays much better post defense than bonner because he denies position as well as stay in front of his man. rivers was confident enough in bonner's lack of defense that he made perkins back him down. doesn't matter how much he did it, just that rivers had the confidence to do it. but if you think bonner can guard bynum despite all the signs, i can't argue with you.

Wow, how anyone could think Kaman wouldn't be an upgrade compared to Fab, Bonner, KT, Ian, and Tiago is insane.

For the purposes of this trade, besides the Big 3, I don't want Bowen, Mason, Hill, Hairston, Gist, or Tiago touched. Too bad Fin is likely untouchable, and Pop loves him too much to trade him anyways. Too bad no one else is worth shit.

Kaman is obviously an upgrade..but do you guys really wanna deal with his huge contract until 2012? he's not worth it..I'd rather just wait and sign Sheed next year to a smaller contract, and try to pull off a minor deal at the deadline for now..

we can't just think of this from a short-term perspective..

hmm, so Pop must be some sort of incompetent coach then? because if Bonner was doing so poor a job defending in the post that Rivers was trying to exploit it, Why was Pop not taking measures to stop being exploited?
no, you see, you're just making up your own reality where Bonner was getting worked in the post.

A bargain basement role player is the only reason we come out of Boston with a win, he drops 26 and holds KG in check, yet still he sucks, because he's smaller then Bynum and got backed down a couple times, we really need to upgrade his position :rollin
the highest ROI the Spurs are getting right now is with Matt freaking Bonner
you want to complain about someone not pulling their weight, look over at Manu.

well damn, why don't we just go get someone who's bigger and stronger than bynum then, those guys are a dime-a-dozen, we should be able to get Amare for the likes of Bonner, Bowen... and... KT just to make the salaries match:lol


It's clear you haven't seen many Suns vs. Lakers games have ya? :nope
So you'll know; Bynum owns Amare.

oh but of course, my mistake, it's just so hard to always remember that long long list of players who are owned by laker players.

I would love to give up dampier for kaman, but howard is untradable anyway at present. Howard is unbelievably a beast tonight. :wow:

Kaman is a great player and I would welcome him on the spurs roster any day. But how the hell are the salaries going to work out? Only way is to trade Ginobili.
Some people just DO NOT GET THE SALARIES. Some people would think Baron Davis, Marcus Camby and Kaman would equal Vaughn, Bonner and Ime salary-wise.


It ain't gonna happen.
