Kaman a fit for Detroit?

ESPN Insider Rumors

Though there's currently no rumblings about the Pistons and Clippers swapping players, Terry Foster of the Detroit News is going to throw it out there anyway: the Pistons should try and acquire Chris Kaman.

Foster tosses out a Kaman for Tayshaun Prince swap, once Prince gets healthy. He admits a third team may need to get involved, or they might have to wait until Kaman becomes a free agent after the 2013 season.

"That would not be bad," Kaman told the paper last week about playing for the Pistons. "I have always thought about it, but I thought it might be a nightmare with ticket requests for every game.

"I am not against it. I am not pushing for it. If it happens, it happens. I would not be upset. I like to win."

Considering Kaman is having the best season of his career so far -- 19.5 points and 8.6 boards a game -- the Pistons may have to offer more than just Prince in this hypothetical scenario. Their 2009-10 salaries are nearly identical, so a straight-up swap wouldn't put either team in a financial hole.
Rose: "I want to be that guy. I want to be the reason why the Bulls are back to what they were [during the Michael Jordan era]."

This is old hat in Detroit.

The Clippers would need a center in return for Kaman, but they don't need to deal Kaman since they unloaded Zach Randolph to Memphis. The Clippers also don't need Prince since they have Al Thornton.

That's not to say I wouldn't be against having Kaman in a Piston jersey, but the situation hasn't developed yet.
