I would still probably do the trade if it were Davis and Camby, because Camby can make up for a lot of defensive shortcomings.
But I wouldn't do it for Davis and Kaman. That is one horrible defensive lineup.

I think the one good thing about davis is that he would still be able to play the big 2's like jkiddo does and leave jet with the 1's. I agree he's not nearly the defender that jkiddo is but I don't think jet would get over-exposed because of his size.
