http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2012/03/new_orleans_hornets_expected_t_8.html From the great Cornell team that won thE Ivy League title over Harvard. He is the Center version of you know who.
When all is said and done, I don't expect the coach to utilize this player. He's probably going to stick his Foote where the sun don't shine, at the end of the bench.
Not really a splish or a splash -- I think the Hornets are just dipping a toe in the free-agent waters here.
I'm hoping it's a sign they are getting ready to unload Kaman, and hopefully to the Rockets! But now that Milwaukee is ready to trade Bogut, Who would you rather have? Bogut as starting Center and Dally as backup, or Dally/Kaman?
Really hard choice actually While Bogut is better than Dally and Kaman and a lot younger, I don't want another Yao situation in Houston.
Kaman * #35 C * 7' 0", 265 lbs * New Orleans Hornets * BornApr 28, 1982 in Grand Rapids, MI (Age: 29) * Drafted2003: 1st Rnd, 6th by LAC * CollegeCentral Michigan * Experience8 years FT% RPG APG BLKPG STLPG PFPG TOPG PPG .740 8.3 1.3 1.4 0.5 2.9 2.3 11.8 Bogut * #6 C * 7' 0", 260 lbs * Milwaukee Bucks * BornNov 28, 1984 in Melbourne, Australia (Age: 27) * Drafted2005: 1st Rnd, 1st by MIL * CollegeUtah * Experience6 years FT% RPG APG BLKPG STLPG PFPG TOPG PPG .574 9.3 2.3 1.6 0.7 3.3 2.0 12.
This works - Houston gets: Kaman Bogut Jackson Milwaukee gets: Martin Dalembert Morris NOH gets: Thabeet Flynn Hill T-Will
Wow. Good for Jeff! He was my TA at Cornell and was a super nice guy. That being said, I never thought he had the foot speed to make it to the NBA. I'm glad he proved me wrong.
NOH have been cursed with injuries this season. Okafor and Landry have been out for while now. Jason Smith went down too. That's basically their frontcourt on the IR list.
