McHale Redo



Inspired by this rumor.

Mike Miller - 1 yr, 9.75 million
for
Chris Kaman - 3 yrs, 34 million

Why it happens
Timberwolves
  • Get a center and a really good big rotation with Jefferson, Love and Kaman
  • Find out who Corey Brewer really is
Clippers
  • Move a big
  • Get another shooter to create space for Griffin/Randolph and Baron Davis
  • A lot of cap space in 2010 (LeBron in LA with Boom Dizzle, Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin anybody?)
Why it doesn't happen
Timberwolves
  • Less cap space in 2010
Clippers
  • Miller is only signed for this coming year
  • Could possibly get a better return for Kaman
Other Variations
  • Timberwolves could include one of their first round (or future picks)
Written from the Timberwolves perspective, ideally after this deal the draft goes Harden at 6, Lawson at 18 and Budinger/Ellington/Green at 28. The Timberwolves then end up

  • Randy Foye/Ty Lawson/Sebastian Telfair/Bobby Brown
  • James Harden/Rodney Carney(TO)
  • Ryan Gomes/Corey Brewer/(Budinger/Ellington/Green)
  • Al Jefferson/Kevin Love/Mark Madsen/Brian Cardinal/Craig Smith/Shelden Williams(TO)
  • Chris Kaman
