    I'm guessing that the Clips will require us to take on Kaman in this deal. Here's the contract situations for the two guys in question:

    Baron Davis
    2009/2010: $12,150,000
    2010/2011: $13,050,000
    2011/2012: $13,950,000
    2012/2013: $14,850,000

    Chris Kaman
    2009/2010: $10,400,000
    2010/2011: $11,300,000
    2011/2012: $12,200,000

    Do it.

    Kaman will be a more than suitable Backup than Yao...hell some nights he might even be better than Yao. Even if Kaman's hurt we still have Deke and Small Ball...and Small ball will be much easier with Baron and Wafer.

    they won't give away camby. I read somewhere that he and gordon are untouchable.

    if we could pry away thorton though....

    What could be more straight forward and logical than Artest/Rafer - BD?

    Stevie's TE should bring in some depth at the 2/3.

    Why would the Clippers do this? Is Baron not working out in LA?

    It's still up in the air whether or not the Clips want to deal Camby. It's a slam dunk if Houston can guy him and Davis in this deal. Otherwise, Kaman is redundant with Yao already locked in.

    Camby, Gordon The Only Untouchable Clippers?

    Clippers coach and general manager Mike Dunleavy Sr. has repeatedly said that center Marcus Camby isn't available.

    Camby has two years left on his contract, which the Clippers acquired from the Nuggets last July.

    On Tuesday, an executive suggested that rookie guard Eric Gordon is the only player that Los Angeles considers "untouchable."

    Baron doesn't want to be there.

    On that NBA trade machine, this trade works straight up for McGrady. It says our wins would decrease by one. Replace Kaman with Camby and our wins increase by 5. Not that it is an exact science or anything...

    No, not at all, conflicts with Coach Dunleavy, not sure what about though.

    how could adding two players for nothing (tmac ISNT PLAYING) decrease our wins by 1?

    plus camby is untouchable.

    Yeah, and no one WANTS to take on Baron & Kaman's contract. But you have to give a little to get.
