23 Points Joins Blocks For Sixers

Already the oldest player on the Hornets' roster Kaman quickly fell out of Monty Williams' rotation in favor of Jason Smith and promising Mexican Gustavo Ayon.

 

"We're going to play Jason Smith, Gustavo Ayon and Al-Farouq Aminu. It's just difficult to play that many bigs and I understand how difficult it is for (Kaman) to not get the minutes he wants."

 

"In no way is this a disciplinary action. We had discussions about extending his current contract when he first came to the Hornets, but the organization decided to go in a different direction."

 

Since Kaman was not with the team on Friday, it was easy to speculate that perhaps he had run afoul of either Williams or Demps. I mean, it's one thing to bench a guy for a youth movement but it's another to jettison him from practice and his teammates.

 

New Orleans is trying to spin things as best it can, fueling rumors that the club approached Kaman and his agent, Rob Pelinka, once they settled on the youth movement. From there both sides reportedly agreed that Kaman would be deactivated until a trade is consummated.

 

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.

 

The Sixers sit atop the Atlantic Division at 14-6, but rank near the bottom of the NBA in strength of schedule heading into a tough stretch that will give them an opportunity to disprove some of their skeptics.

 

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.
