Here's the thing you are probably not taking into account: Kaman is a $14mil ending contract. Now because its the Hornets, and Stern intentionally took that giant ending contract to try to help them shrink payroll and look attractive a buyer, I don't think the Hornets are going to be looking to use him the way big enders are normally used -- as a way to get other teams to give you talent in exchange for taking their longeterm contracts. The Hornets won't take those contracts back. But it still has consequences for the team on the other end, namely us.
First, you have to talk our broke owners into taking $14mil worth fo salary onto their roster with limited setoffs going back the other way because the Hornets don;t want contracts. Then you have to take into account whether the guy is even going to stay after the end of the year, meaning any assets you used to get him have been wasted.
Meanwhile, while there have been times I like dthe idea of lookign into him, he;s more offensive player than defender, like Cousins he has quick feet for his size, but he's no perimeter defender, so not sure how well he works wiht Cousins anyway. Our coach, somewhat paradoxically complains about having o backup center, but also claims he wants to run all the time, whihc is hard to do wiht big centers, let alone two of them starting next to each other. Adn Kaman cbecomes another shot hungry mouth up there. More Hickson in approach than Jason Thompson.
