Gab es das Gerücht schon länger? Weiß jemand davon etwas?
Let's officially launch the "Bring Chris Kaman to the Pistons" campaign.
Kaman, the 6-foot-10 low post center from Central Michigan, is exactly what the Pistons need. He has no chance of winning a title -- OK, winning at all -- with the L.A. Clippers.
And how's this for trade bait? Tayshaun Prince, when he gets healthy.
Prince is from Compton, Calif., so he'll be going home. And Kaman is from Grand Rapids.
Makes sense.
Still, you might have to find a third team to make it work or wait for Kaman to become a free agent in 2013.
So, how would Kaman feel about the proposal?
"That would not be bad," he said last week when the Clippers were at The Palace. "I have always thought about it, but I thought it might be a nightmare with ticket requests for every game."
Kaman averages 19.5 points and 8.6 rebounds and blitzed the Pistons for 26 points. He's a rare breed, a big man who does most of his damage in the paint.
"I am not against it," Kaman said. "I am not pushing for it. If it happens, it happens. I would not be upset. I like to win."
