rly?

I admit, I would be tempted by Miller/kaman. I would think about it, but I am not sure I would do it. We have yet to see what Miller can do with Al once they get chemistry (Devil is going to enjoy that line) how do we know that kaman will not underplay Love? kaman is not a strong defender and he needs the ball in the post to be effective. He is a strong rebounder, but so is love. I would rather have a player in Love with a high BBIQ and high post game, rather than a guy that has a very low BBIQ and needs to be in the post--as a big next to Al.

Which is why I would only offer the expirings and the unprotection on the first. I would see kaman filling a 3rd big role.

Then we could trade Jefferson for Joe Johnson and my plan would be complete. *

* My plan is win 45 games and lose in the first round of the playoffs.

48+48/3=32

Al played 36min last year
kaman played 37
So that means 23 or so left for Love. right now he is getting 19.7

Also, it would prevent much harm from Injury. I would be all for it if we did not have to give up a major part. For Me, Miller is too much. I would provide LAC wit cap and picks.

23 sucks, he should be getting like 35 in the near future

really, nobody has seen Love's potential yet? The only thing holding him back is stamina and learning defensive nuances so he doesn't pick up fouls, and I think he's got the work ethic to take care of that.

and you know what else I think is underrated, is he's the kind of guy that refs will like. I saw him after a foul in the Dallas game I think it was, and the ref is talking to him and seemed almost apologetically eager to explain it to Kevin. I think he's gonna be right in step with the refs. Not that they'll give him any gifts, but he'll know how they think and it's gonna help him on both ends.

He is not a basketball mod. he is a mod on the deserted island of baseball and football. ;)

I think we package our expirings and picks for an upgrade, not a lateral movement. I also think Jefferson is a more attractive prospect in every way. age-postion-cost-fan base, etc, etc, etc.

it really is a deserted island. Case in point - KG2005. He's probably on the Twins board right now having conversations with himself about the pros and cons of Carlos Gomez.

I have a hard time seeing the Clips make the kinda trade we are offering. Im not sure its cap space they are looking for seeing as they brought in Camby, Ricky and Baron Davis, tried to get J-Will, seems like they are trying to do it win-now style.

I would under no circumstance offer up Miller.
