Celtics interested in Kaman...

The Boston Celtics are very much in the market for a center and will certainly look to make a move prior to the trading deadline.

But if the C’s fail to land a much-needed big man prior to tomorrow’s 3 p.m. deadline, all is not lost in their quest to add size.

New Orleans center Chris Kaman has been on the trading block for a while, with the asking price seemingly dropping by the minute.

He’s earning more than $14 million this season, which as you can imagine, has scared off a number of potential suitors.

If the Hornets can’t move him via trade, you can anticipate talks about a buy-out to begin soon.

That would allow him to become a free agent and sign with any team of his choosing.

According to a league source, Boston would be on his short list of potential destinations.

“You look at what they need and what he brings to the game . . . it would be a great fit, it really would,” the source said. “But a lot of things have to happen, and not happen, before that can come about.”

This is where the credibility went south. They seem to be trying to portray it like the Hornets are trying to rid themselves of Kaman, when they're really just trying to get some value. How would buying him out do anything positive for the Hornets?

Very unlikely to happen, IMHO.

Kaman for Celtics 2013 first round pick. I see a big drop off next year for them. Probably won't be a lottery pick but there is a chance.
