    EDIT: Any trade involving the Knicks pick would be ludicrous. Any trade involving Patrick Patterson would be bad, but I guess save some cap space next year?

    Cool. I hope Patterson isn't involved, but either way, I'd love for this team to have 2 legit centers after having the Chuckwagon the last couple of years.

    I'm sure Stern will will ask for all of our starting 5 plus their wives for Kaman.

    Sounds like the 09ers for Kaman. That would be a nice pick up!

    Very interesting. Especially, if it only takes Hill and Thabeet as the centerpeices.

    What would the rotation look like with Kaman? Platoon with Dalembert?

    Are we seriously considering keeping Kaman after this year or are we doing this just for the 14 million expiring?

    Mr. Flippy to the Rox-- that's one of Kaman's nicknames because he misses so many easy bunnies under the rim...

    Stern owes us.

    Curious what "source" would divulge the names of Rocket players. Must be coming from the NOLA side. Thabeet and Hill are mentioned specifically by the source, as being in the discussion. The others appear as just statements by the writer regarding who else is available.

    I don't see any advantage Morey might gain in floating names. And he appears to always have his side of trades tight to his vest.

    Great stuff. Bring me the Caveman! The guy might be ugliest guy in the NBA but whatever. We will miss JHill's pud hair if he has to go but well worth it.

    I'll take that deal any day.

    It'll free up room for D-Mo as well.

    If this deal goes through we have three 7 foot assets.

    Patterson is a non starter, as is the NY pick, that much is obvious.

    I'd hate to drop Hill, but if he is being cut lose after this year, it doesn't really matter.

    Kaman is a legit center, but to be honest I don't really care if we make the playoffs this year or not.
