The "problem" is that the whole deal is based around the idea (or necessity) to trade Kidd, so neither Camby nor Kaman will have the pleasure of being assisted by him and increase their numbers as a result of playing with Kidd. Instead, they would still have to live with Davis' passes, assuming that he's the other piece in the trade.
I agree that Camby is a better defender than Kaman and not significantly worse on offense. But Camby is almost 35 and won't be able to play on his current level for much longer, whereas Kaman is young, improving and overall among the best centers in the league. Additionally, his contract runs until 2012 and is "only" worth about $10 million per year which isn't a lot for a center of his caliber. We wouldn't have to worry about this crucial position for a long time.
