    [rquoter]Updating Kaman story: Hornets GM Dell Demps confirms to ESPN that he's actively trying to move center and working w/Kaman's camp on matter. Demps tells ESPN that Kaman/Hornets initially discussed extending center's current contract. But team decided to "go in different direction". Challenge in moving Kaman, even w/his expiring contract, is $14M salary. Hornets obviously gonna be selective on what they'll take back[/rquoter]

    Gustavo Ayon played 17 minutes against OKC, scored 16 points on 1.45 PPP. He's a threat to have NBA's top mark in PPP (1.12).

    I would take him to back up Dalembert. The team suffers when we don't have a true center on the floor, and Dalembert doesn't seem quite up to playing 35 minutes a game.

    Question is what would you give up for Kaman? Do you think an '09er would get it done? T-Will maybe?

    It was announced Eric Gordon is out for another 3-6 weeks today. Belinelli is killing them as a starter.

    Kaman for all our expiring 09ers.

    NO - More players to tank with.

    Houston - A player that will get PT.

    Just because he's out there doesn't mean you should get him.

    We need a true backup center who can play defense. Hill isn't cutting it.

    Kaman is a very good center when he's healthy.

    He's a better option than Bogut due to the fact that he doesn't get injured and is solid. Just remember his kryptonite is his former teammate Reggie Evans of the Clippers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv1cBN8M-9I

    its funny NO expects to be on winning side of trading a injury prone 30yr old C with a 14 mil dollar contract. What a joke.

    [rQUOTEr]The Hornets have decided to shelve Kaman until they can find a trade home for him after making the decision to give his minutes to young players.

    "It's just something (where) we want to play our young guys, Hornets coach Monty Williams told local reporters before Friday night's game against the Magic.[/rQUOTEr]
