Chris Kaman has not been thrilled with his limited minutes this season and the lottery-bound Lakers may put him on the market to see if there is any interest from 2014 playoff contenders that need help at center. When asked, Kaman said he doesn’t care if he stays with the Lakers or is moved to another team.
“I don’t care, I honestly don’t care,” Kaman told ESPNLosAngeles.com. “It’s not something that I want to do, but it’s not going to make me go to sleep at night and have to stay awake all night tossing and turning thinking about it. I don’t care. If they want to trade somebody, trade me, trade the next guy, it don’t bother me. It’s part of the business.”
Kaman is on the books for $3.18 million and trading him just for a future second round pick would be good business for the Lakers as they would get an asset and reduce their tax bill from $12 million to $6.6 million.
