I voted "No" because I'd like to see the Hawks work a three-headed post rotation with Smith, Horford, mysterious 3rd big (true center) before trading Smith straight-up.

I'd offer some combination of Marvin, Zaza, Teague, 1st rounder, expirings next summer to get that big man. (Perkins is the one I want).

I voted "No" as well. While Kaman has broken out this season, I remember his injury history with fear. Just last summer Kaman was the guy they seemingly couldn't move because of his contract/health ratio.

If I'm the Clippers I stay away from the deal as well because he argues about moving Josh to the 3 when Blake Griffin comes back. Any plan that plays Josh out of the 4 slot wastes a lot of his skill.
