Hornets asking price for Kaman too high. "They were asking for draft picks, cap space and a young player," one executive says.

Sounds about right to me. If you don't want to pay it, the teams your fighting for seeding with might.

1. The Hornets don't have any absolutely horrible contracts as the players are good enough to actually get minutes. Some might think Okafor, Jack, and Ariza are over paid, but they are at least contributors.

2. Kaman is a 7 ft center that actually has game. So he could definitely make a big impact for a team. It also gives the team a chance to start working on extending him now.

I don't think we are going to get great picks, great players, and huge cap relief all at the same time; however, we should get good return on a trade.

I actually would have liked to have kept Kaman, but Demps should get a good trade.
