RIP for Kaman

[WTFchris]

Another option would be Adam Morrison. His deal is up by 2010 and he's not getting much PT there. His shooting is terrible right now though. Maybe a change of scenery and a defined role would help, who knows.

I'd try moving Max to Toronto for Kapono after that deal. O Neal has been hurt and their backup bigs are all euro shooters. They could use a banger. Plus they could lose Kapono and give Graham more minutes. He's just a gunner, but that's fine off the bench. We could use a guy to come in and hit a few threes.

I thought of that too, but there's no way they give up Kapono. He's logging 22-23 mpg, and he's one of their top guys off the bench. He fits there better than Max does.

[Zekyl]

Kapono is a sniper for them. That guy just shoots the lights out when they need him to. They're not getting rid of him.

We could always take our time to decide who to go after, lean on Afflalo and Herrmann a bit more to see what they can give us off the bench while we decide.

Its too bad Matt Carroll signed that terrible contract with the Bobcats, he wouldn't be bad coming off our bench. I want no part of Morrison. I was about to suggest J.J. Reddick but I took a look at his numbers and he's playing terribly this year it seems. Even worse than Morrison.

[WTFchris]

I'd probably just lean on AA as well. But Morrison would be nice because his contract is shorter and if he blows here too you just sit him a year and let him expire. The ideal thing would probably be to get an expiring deal for this year. That way maybe we can afford to extent Sheed for a little more than MLE (if he's interested) and keep him as a backup if/when Bosh signs. Or maybe AI would take less money to stay a couple years. We'll need a full time SG to replace RIP anyway.

I wonder if Washington would move Nick Young when Agent Zero is back. Probably not for Max since they have Songalia. Maybe for Amir?

That's my only concern with this idea. If Rip's gone, who takes over at SG next year? Do we have to go after one with all of that cap space, meaning we couldn't go get Bosh, Boozer, or Amare?

They both would make too much to trade for Nick Young. He's still on his rookie contract.

That's whay I was playing around with Rip/? for Kaman/Eric Gordon last week.

Max is on his rookie one though isn't he? We extended him, but I thought the raise kicks in next year. Amir already got his raise though. We'd just have to take back filler for him.

Max is a poison pill player so his contract isn't worth the same in a trade
