    No, we should have gotten a 24 year old starter for our MLE, because everyone loves Portland so much. ;)

    lma/trob/freeland/rolo/kaman/nards is very respectable for a big rotation

    health wise, who the fuck knows, but thats the same for every team

    I don't know whether to rep you - or hunt you down like a rabid possum.

    Stop slandering the opossum.

    "Any mammal can get rabies. However, the chance of rabies in an opossum is EXTREMELY RARE. This may have something to do with the opossum’s low body temperature (94-97º F) making it difficult for the virus to survive in an opossum’s body."

    Contract is fine as long as he plays about 75% of the games and becomes a solid back up to Lopez.

    TRAIL BLAZERS SIGN CENTER CHRIS KAMAN
    Former All-Star signs with Portland as free agent

    PORTLAND, Ore. (July 10, 2014) – The Portland Trail Blazers have signed free agent center Chris Kaman, it was announced today by General Manager Neil Olshey.
    Kaman, 32, holds career averages of 11.7 points (48.7% FG, 74.5% FT), 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers.
    “We targeted Chris early in the process believing his offensive versatility and defensive presence would make for a quality addition to our front court,” said Olshey. “His skill set complements our returning roster players and we expect him to have an immediate impact.”
    An NBA All-Star in 2010, Kaman averaged 10.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks for the Lakers last season.
    “I am extremely pleased to add Chris to our roster,” said Trail Blazers Head Coach Terry Stotts. “He is a proven NBA talent and will both bolster and complement our front court at both ends of the floor.”
    Kaman (7-0, 265) played collegiately at Central Michigan University and was selected by the Clippers with the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft.
    He will wear No. 35 for the Trail Blazers.

    They butchered that Rasheed Wallace pic although it's a good look for Kaman. :devilwink:

    Still think we blew it with Kaman? For the MLE he is looking way better than the contract we would've given Hawes. Kaman's a baller.

    He's a brutalizer, a beast with balls, a bonifide baller, a beautiful bonanza of boards on the block
