    I believe Hawes was out of their price range. They felt as they couldn't get him, so they moved on to their next option. I think he can be a very solid player at that salary. he'll put up 10pts / 7 reb in 20 mins and will give them solid production off the bench.

    i thought he'd be a good backup center for us. we don't have a lot of legit post options.

    while the rockets wait for lebron, wade, bosh... sefalosha, kaman, and other options that could've stocked our bench are signing deals.

    if the rockets strike out on the big names, they may return to the free agent pool to find it dried up.

    The salary is the interesting part. Kamen signed with the Lakers last year for $3.2M. He had a dissapointing year and now he signs for $4.8M. Who were the Blazers bidding against?
    Was there some renewed interest in Kamen across the league?

    How quickly people forget the mastermind behind the overpay of countless role players.

    Teams not in the running for the top tier talent typically over pay for lesser tier talent.
