    Default Randolph to Clips...Kaman to Charlotte :)

    But why would the Clippers do this deal? It's true they can move Thomas and Mobley and probably not impact the team too much, but where does Randolph fit? With Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman well paid ($20 million total) in frontcourt, who comes off the bench? Randolph shouldn't, but neither should the other two – and none of these guys can remotely play the three.

    If the Clippers make this move, there has to be another one coming – such as the Kaman to the Charlotte Bobcats for Gerald Wallace idea that has been hot and cold in recent days. They can't stop here because it rips out their depth and half of their veteran leadership, unbalancing the roster of a team with only two wins on the season.

    It's also interesting to note that Randolph has played so well in the open offense of D'Antoni as a center. Assuming he's staying in Los Angeles he will move back to power forward. If Camby stays Randolph should work well, much as he did with Theo Ratliff back in his days with the Portland Trail Blazers. If Kaman stays, well, interior defense might become a problem very quickly.

    At first I was wanted to keep Wallace, but if we could trade Wallace for Kaman and keep Morrison I'd be THRILLED! Morrison I think can be the real deal and IMO has played better than Wallace this season...so If Kaman could come to Charlotte I'd be very very happy

    Man I hope this will happen, as we need frontcourt help in the worst way. I know the addition of Kamen leaves us at a disadvantage vs athletic bigs, but I still think we are a much improved team if we do end up getting him. I would hate to lose crash, but I think Kaman would make us a better team.

    Randolph to Clippers, it's official... it makes sense, Knicks have cleared their salary cap for 2010, so that leaves Randolph, Camby & Kaman with the Clippers, and Kaman is most likely to leave next,... guess we should bid Gerald goodbye.

    Wojnarowski isn't a rumor whore, so I'd say this is pretty much sealed, unless Clippers have other things in mind, which I doubt.

    I really think that they'll have no desire for Gerald. They seem to be pretty happy with Thornton, and with Mobley leaving in the Randolph trade, they're short-handed at the 2 spot, with only Gordon on the roster. If he can be had, then I still think that Kaman could be had for Matt and an expiring like May, maybe a pick of some kind. (Plus, in my fantasy world where this makes lots of sense, the Bobcats have finally gotten rid of Sean May...)

    ^ but that raises a question, are Clippers trying to improve their team via (potential) Kaman trade by landing Wallace, or are they willing to settle for an expiring (May), a backup SG at best (Carroll) and some odds'n'ends. I think the former's the case in this situation, but then again I could be wrong.

    If we got Kaman for Sean May and Matt Carroll... I wouldn't wear pants for the rest of the season.

    Yes. And I would also walk all the way down to Charlotte w/o pants to watch them play. It's a little chilly right now, but hey it's worth it.

    That deal works in the trade machine too. I hope am really hoping that this goes down. Don't crush a young man's soul MJ. Please.
