Clippers Notes: Kaman for Iguodala Trade Rumors

The Clippers have engaged in preliminary trade talks with the Philadelphia Sixers in a trade that would send Clips center Chris Kaman to Philly in exchange for swingman Andre Iguodala.  The Clippers appear committed to Deandre Jordan at center, and could use an upgrade on the perimeter.

Kaman dealt with injuries all season, and played in only 32 games in the 2010-11 season.  He averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds.  In the 2009-10 season, Kaman was an all-star as he averaged a career-high 18.7 points.

Iguodala, who will be 28 at the start of next season, averaged 14 points last season, in 62 games.  He has a reputation as a solid defender, and an unselfish player, as he averaged over 6 assists last season.  He would step into the SF position if acquired.

The Warriors are also interested in Iguodala, as rumors are also flying about a Monta Ellis for Iguodala swap.

If the Clippers do get this deal done, it would be an absolute steal.  It would improve their defense, and give the Clippers more talent on the perimeter.  Of course, it is only a rumor, for now.
