Do you know how old Camby is? I think that guy is old enough to be my Dad and I'm 36.

Kaman is more interesting. I guess it all depends on where the Thunder are sitting come draft night and who is on the board still.

Camby has way more value to teams that are trying to compete next season. While I would love to see us in the playoffs next year, our "championship window" is a couple of years away... Camby's retirement window may be on a similar timeline.

Ok I guess the question would probably be, would you guys prefer Kaman or Thabeet?

I'd probably take Thabeet due to age, no injury concerns, and the fact that he could be a huge defensive presence.

Well, if we don't land the #1 pick, but a Top 3, I'm more interested in Hasheem Thabeet. How would you like a core of Westbrook, Durant, Green, and Thabeet?

All about Thabeet with those three... I really think he would compliment Green/Durant well in the front court. I was impressed with what I saw from him at the end of the season (let's see how he finishes out the tourney).

Like I said in some other thread, the odds right now, are about 40% that we end up top 3. Not horrible, but a heck of a lot worse than the 99% or whatever that having the worst record would've guaranteed!
