Jazz interest in Kamen

I get that the Jazz may respect Kamen's game, but what could they possibly offer that would solve any problems for either team?

Jefferson, it would make sense. Kamen plays bigger than Jefferson and can actually PLAY center. I'm not saying that I would like kamen better than jefferson, but that's the only person that would make sense.

Wouldn't read too much into it. I would be extremely surprised if we acquired him.

I would assume Okur would be swapped for him, and not Jefferson actually. Clippers would probably want Okur's expiring contract and his style would compliment Jordan and Griffin well.

Kaman is in the final year of his contract, plays solid low-post defense (although he isn't a great defender) - other than that I haven no clue what he could provide that Utah doesn't already have. To me he's a stay-away.

Eh I don't care about the true center crap, I would rather have (improved) Jefferson

I would have wanted that Kaman for Okur trade 4 years ago when we had Boozer, but your right, right now it doesn't make sense.

 

[GVC]

No thank you.

 

[jazzfan1971]

I guess if the price is right..... Maybe a S&T of AK. Making Millsap or Jefferson even more expendable. Maybe Bell and AK..

 

[idiot]

SA & Dallas would make much more sense. Or Houston -- they could send Dragic & Scola -- don't know if that would make them players for Nene again.

When haven't the Jazz be interested in a big white guy?

 

[Mission Accomplished]

Do our front court is stacked and KOC is chasing more bigs?

Looks like he may be part of a trade involving Chris Paul to the Clippers. Paul said his 3rd choice would be the Clippers if NYC and LAL can't sign him. I'm guessing it will be something like Gordon, Kama, Aminu, and Minnesota 1st.

 

[NotDeadYet]

Always liked Kaman's game. Nothing flashy, but a solid all-round player; moves well w/o the ball, has a jump shot, post moves, rebounds, decent passer, physical defender in the paint. At 29, he's younger than Okur.
Yeah, if they're in the Chris Paul sweepstakes, they'll be in a holding pattern...

 

[SojoDave]

Just say no to CAVEMAN! I think Jefferson is better and Kaman wasn't healthy last year.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

At least spell his name right. Makes you look like, well, an idiot when you don't.

It's Chris Kaman.

 

[Park Bites]

I think kanter will be better then kaman why not just develope kanter.

 

[unluckyseventeen]

I'm surprised. How many forwards and centers does this team need?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think they're just bored and making a few calls. It's a dull FA season for the Jazz.

Although...it's not a terrible thing to pick up a player who has value and sign him to a reasonable contract. It creates an additional asset on the team to trade or negotiate with. Kaman could be an ideal back-up C. Kaman plus one of the Jazz's picks could help the Jazz move up in a future draft, for example.

I will be upset if we trade Al to pick up the caveman.
