Also could have amnestied Kaman. This is going to be real interesting to see how they did this.

Hope Kaman clears waivers and wants to come east...

Clippers also needed to renounce rights to Craig Smith and Jamario Moon.

DEFINITELY go for Smith. Please!

Kaman isn't taking the Vet min nor would he have taking the $3 million MMLE we had to offer.

He is still an asset in this league. Would get paid significantly more by someone else.

Wow. And that's pretty much it for the Paul to the Clippers scenarios, right?

Now this would be a very realistic move. Definitely a min. candidate and he loved the city when he played here in college. Hopefully, we can talk him into come here.

Is it? I would think that this gives them more flexibility to add Bledsoe into a deal for Paul?

Would Stern & Co. accept Mo Williams, Bledsoe, Aminu, Kaman and Minny #1? I think so.

No way does Chauncey play for the Clippers.

That squad has far too much to do to compete for title.

I don't know....  I think they like Bledsoe more for the future.  This year they could have used CP3 and Mo Williams as their point guards.
