Kaman Leads Blocks Over Philadelphia

Basketball Betting Lines

"It's just something (where) we want to play our young guys and we certainly don't want to disrespect Chris at all," Williams told the media before Friday's upset against the Magic. "This is something we want to keep internally. It's certainly not disciplinary and he understands and I talked to him.

 

It didn't stay internal for long. By the third quarter Hornets GM Dell Demps had released a statement.

 

"We've informed Chris that we are looking into possible trades and he was understanding about the situation," Demps said. "We're working together on this. Chris has been the ultimate professional since he joined us.

 

The "ultimate professional" as Demps described Kaman wouldn't be happy losing minutes, perhaps, but he certainly wouldn't want to stop working either.

 

On the surface that seems a bit far-fetched but Kaman has certainly been injury prone and giving him mop-up minutes here and there could be a risk to any potential deal, something neither Kaman or the Hornets would want.

 

Either way, New Orleans isn't exactly going to get a king's ransom for a player that is seemingly on the downside, has lost minutes to a pedestrian player like Smith and could be complaining.

 

Building for the future is what the Hornets are all about now but others are concerned with competing and renting a 7-footer that can play could pay dividends.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Before starting a brutal seven-game stretch Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers had to take care of business against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night. On his 28th birthday, Andre Iguodala recorded his eighth career triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists as Philadelphia routed Detroit, 95-74.

 

Lou Williams added 17 points for the Sixers, who moved to 10-2 at home this season. They have outscored their opponents by double-figures in each of those victories.

 

It begins with home games against the Magic, Bulls and Heat, then a road game in Atlanta. The Sixers will return home to play the Lakers, Spurs and Clippers after that. Those seven teams had a combined 90 wins entering play Saturday.

 

The play ignited a 14-0 Sixers run, pushing their lead to 21-8 late in the opening quarter before it was 24-14 going into the second. Williams and Jodie Meeks both hit a pair of three-pointers in the period.
