MIN - LAC (Not shrink-endorsed)

I was just curious where you guys fell on a trade like this:

LAC GETS: Mike Miller

MIN GETS: Chris Kaman + future 1st returned.

Here's the catch .. Kaman's contract. Miller gets $9,880,937 next year, but Kaman goes:

2009-10: $10,400,000
2010-11: $11,300,000
2011-12: $12,200,000

The deal also has a trade kicker, so if we guess 15%, its an additional $5.1 mil over three years.

Would you make this swap with Mike Miller?

Would you make this swap with other expirings Cardinal + Madsen?

Not a Kaman fan. Between the injuries and his likely poor fit with Jefferson, he's getting paid waaaay too much for waaaay too long.

Pass. I'd rather keep Kevin Love. I don't think Kaman is worth ruining our cap flexibility for the next few years.

No, but I'd want to see if we can just add a third team (which I think is unlikely).

Kaman sucks when considering his contract and his lack of ability to play with a good PF.

Pass.

They already turned down kaman/miller straight up, I doubt they'd add a pick return.
Kaman/Brand played together pretty well pre-injury.
A healthy Kaman is a borderline all-star, but he's not been healthy very often.
This may be something we revisit towards the trade deadline.
