They can have those scrubs for Kaman and he expires after the season so it's win win for us.
Apparently our trash is sufficient enough for the services of the bum.
The Houston Rockets have had extensive trade discussions with the New Orleans Hornets about center Chris Kaman and appear to be in the lead for him, numerous sources told SI.com.
The NBA-owned Hornets, who acquired Kaman from the Clippers in the Chris Paul deal on Dec. 15, rendered him inactive last week and publicly acknowledged their decision to trade him. Hornets general manager Dell Demps has been shopping for a deal involving young players and draft picks while the big man awaits his next destination. Kaman, 29, an All-Star in 2009-2010 when he averaged 18.5 points and 9.2 rebounds, is making $14 million in the last year of his contract.
Dealing with the Hornets means any trade must be vetted by league executives Stu Jackson and Joel Litvin before being approved by commissioner David Stern. A week before Paul was traded to the Clippers, Stern vetoed a three-team deal that would have sent the star point guard to the Lakers and Pau Gasol to the Rockets, who are now back negotiating with New Orleans.
While no deal is imminent and the pieces are still being discussed, sources said the talks have involved the Rockets' two top-10 picks from the 2009 draft -- center Hasheem Thabeet (No. 2 by Memphis) and power forward Jordan Hill (No. 8 by New York). The Rockets have other young former first-rounders who could be included as well, among them second-year forward Patrick Patterson, third-year point guard Jonny Flynn and fourth-year small forward Terrence Williams. They also have a 2012 first-round pick from New York that the Hornets would love to obtain.4]

Would be a good trade imo. Kaman could give Houston a legit post scorer.
No way we give up Patterson though.
Yeah that. I was reading a Hornets message board and one dumbass thinks Thabeet still has potential.
Hornets might not hold out for the extra pick because they already have Minny's pick, they want them in the lottery. So they really have no leverage.
It will take the pick. No other reason to give up cap space
Kaman and Dalembert. Houston's new twin towers?
Pass.
Thabeet and Hill?Dell Demps really has for brains.
It's almost too good to be true.Thabeet and Hill?
Is Demps sure he doesn't want to ask for Francis and Mobley too?
No way the Hornets will trade Kaman without the draft pick. Hornets really don't care for the other trash except for just matching salaries. They won't take a bad contract like Scola. So they need the salaries to match with cheap one year deals, but they really want the draft pick. Stern screwed Houston before. He will try to do it again.
Hill is a bench center.
Thabeet is just a bust.
but its a stacked draft and the Knicks are horrible.
Any chance the Rockets would be interested in Landry? He really needs to be traded and the Hornets don't want to play him anymore either.
No, I think unless Scola is traded too, then maybe. But we have Scola at the 4 already, and Patterson who can play the 4 too.
Is that really the best NO can get?
How are the Spurs not on the phone?
Kaman sucks.
On a side note, didn't know EVERYONE on the Spurs flops.
lol bonner flopped today, that was hilarious
Kaman would get drafted #5 overall in next years draft if he was from overseas
If I were San Antonio I'd trade them Jefferson or some
