Ok. Just saw the other thread about this article. Ignore.

One option might come from one of the Spurs’ recent opponents — the Los Angeles Clippers, who look eager to shake things up after an overhauled roster has squandered plenty of opportunities during their 2-9 start.
With the emergence of Marcus Camby, who was acquired from the Nuggets in the offseason for next to nothing, the Clippers are reportedly willing to trade 26-year-old center Chris Kaman, a beast in the paint who still has four years at almost $11 million per year left on his contract.
But at 26 years old, Kaman is still in the prime of his career and would give San Antonio the type of inside game it had when Duncan joined “The Admiral” David Robinson in 1997, a combination that ultimately turned the Spurs from an average team to a perennial contender.
Playing a limited roll at times this season, Kaman is averaging 13.2 points per game but more important is his average of 10.5 rebounds.

The Daily Times?
As in the KERVILLE Daily Times?
Nice.
Chris Kaman is overrated, he's not worth the money he's getting paid..he has regressed significantly and usually disappears when he's playing against bigger and more physical opponents..
It will definitely help Spurs if its true. Kaman is definitely better and younger than Oberto and KT combined. Fab and KT is getting older..I think we got to start thinking about it (I know we got Ian as our future). Kaman's number is good, he can score and rebound and will help Duncan in the post and double team. But I DOUBT it will ever happen. We got nobody "valuable enough" for the trade since Big 3 and Mahinmi should be untouchable. Spurs FO is a ing cheap bas , money is always a huge part of problem altough NOBODY WILL EVER ADMIT IT. When I look how Hornets,Celtics ,Rockets build their team,i got nothing more to say. More likely they will pull out somebody from D League if they need additional big man. They already did for PG
Yeah, he's worth more, considering the bigs that we have. I'd put him up there with Bosh. He isn't on Chris' level, but he is the more realistic option, and would be an instant upgrade. As of now, he's a dream like everyone else worth getting. Not sure who'd they take, unless they're only looking to fatten their wallets. Then take any combo of Toll, Bonner, Fab, and KT. If I'm correct and it would only be a 1 and 1 switch, I'd prefer KT to go, since Kaman most resembles him gamewise.
Ok, I agreed with everything but the last couple of sentences. Ahearn is just a stopgap because of TP out, you can't compare that to KT and Fab underperforming so far, and Ian getting injured.
You shouldn't have more to say because it'd be as stupid and ill-formed as that garbage that I quoted.
The Rockets? How the Rockets build their team? Kid, the Rockets with McGrady and Yao haven't been past the first round.
The Hornets have spent a staggering 1 million dollars more in total team salaries.
The Celtics, well, they took a big gamble that had big reward/big failure potential and it paid off. The Spurs were not in that position so why even act like trading almost all your young players for two all-stars is something the Spurs "needed" to do.
+1
I knew there was something wrong with that post.
This thread is all kinds of stupid.
yes thank you he would be a prototype Spur - not athletic but savy and hard nosed. Bring him on.
If Camby is coming in and taking over Kaymans role. That doesnt say alot about Kayman. From what I hear he costs to much. Then again if the FO can figure out someway of getting him without losing any of our Big 3. Then by all means go for it. Im guessing Ian isnt coming back soon. And Kayman is still young. I dont see Ian and Kayman as twin towers.(for the future), Id just like to see one of them (like the one we have already in austin), play next to Timmy.
Captain Kaman!!!!!
It bothers me the way the contents of these articles get transformed.
1) We start with a speculative statement about how Kaman would be a beneficial player on the Spurs. We could make this same statement about 1/4 of the players in the league.
"But at 26 years old, Kaman is still in the prime of his career and would give San Antonio the type of inside game it had when Duncan joined “The Admiral” David Robinson in 1997, a combination that ultimately turned the Spurs from an average team to a perennial contender."
2) Someone posts the article on SpursTalk under the le: "Chris Kaman to the Spurs?" This makes it seem as though some reporter has researched and found a source that says there are trade talks, but that is not the case.
3) SpursTalk posters run with it and begin discussing it as all-out trade talk: "It will definitely help Spurs if its true."
No wonder half of Texas thinks Obama is a Muslim. Reading comprehension people.
funny stuff.......Comparing Kayman to Drob. Not even close. Not even when Drob was headed out the door.
Pop loves this guy... he would trade anything outside the big 3 to get him
I think if the rumors are true and Randolph does end up going to the Clippers then thats going to leave Kaman on the trading block....
I expect the spurs to make a run for him if he is.
The article may not be reporting an imminent trade, but the point of it is to display a good potentially available target. Posters are aware of this, and merely speculating.
Kaman kicked the spurs ass in the paint the other night. .. i say do it, even if you have to trade ginoallicareaboutmycountry
You'd better change your expectations. We are not even close to having the salaries needed in the players we would consider trading to match his.
It would intefere a little with the "2010 plan" but its possible
Umm...no its not. Go look at Chris Kaman's salary and compare it to the salaries we have and tell me how you expect it to happen without trading one of the big three.
Kayman would be a great pick up! I think he would put us over the top. He can play high or low, has great footwork, can block shots and rebound, is a good passer and is very unselfish. At 11mil pr season he is a great pick up.
The Clippers are another team who is lookin to 2010 and if we could send Thomas and Bonner with some other crap that would help the Clips slash payroll and give us a great post player.
If the spurs could pull this off they would be crazy not to. I dont know how many guys have seen Kaman play but he can do it all. A lineup of TP TD MASON FINLEY AND KAMAN with MANU, HILL AND IAN off the bench is a very good team.
Those of you who are down on this guy need to watch him play, hes not D rob but no one ever will be. But he is the second or third best center in the NBA and he fits our style on both ends of the floor. And hes only 26!
Thomas Bonner and Vaughn!
