Well to be honest, while I love watching AI, I am not sure if a 30+ year old player with one year left on his contract, and no real cap space in sight to re-sign him should be called a cornerstone.
K-mart is not really tradeable, except for a loss. His contract pays him more than Dwight Howard. 93 million is a lot invested in a player that barely has put together one healthy season.
So while a trade like Camby and KMart for Elton sounds good. To financially get it through, the Clippers would have to throw in Maggette or Kaman to make it work. Of course there is no way LA would go for that.
I do agree that a dominant post player is sooooo very important. Someone that can body up and play good D. Someone that can score points down low on the 4's and 5's. If you look at past NBA champions, you need either one thing. A dominant big man, or Michael Jordan. Mikes not playing anymore, so they need to get that big man. Honestly, I would be willing to see the Nuggets trade anything they have for one other than Melo, Kleiza, and JR Smith (if they re-sign him).
