Think the Clippers will look at Craigers?

LA is his home. They could use some depth at PF. They may be able to get him relativly cheap.

I hope they offer him a ton of money so that he doesn't come back here. Not hating, just realistic about his defense, or lack there of.

that'd be great opportunity for Craig, Davis could get him a lot of easy looks around the hoop

This makes sense to me, but we'll have to wait and see. I think the Clipper first need to find out whether they can get Josh Smith (or maybe Okafor) to pair with Kaman. If not, and they use their cap space on some other free agent that isn't a PF, I think Smith might be a nice fit. I think Craig needs a good center behind him, or to be paired with someone who can provide great help defense (which was why I think he did so well his first year with KG). We might be able to work out something for Brevin Knight plus incentive in a S&T, because it keeps LAC's payroll down. However, this will be a deal for later, when the Clippers (and us) have a better feel for our cap space.
