    We have a pretty big team now. Remember how thin we used to be at bigs? Now we have too many! Haha

    Look at this! A few bright words in the midst of so much cynicism. Some of you were talking about Kaman like he was crocodile dung.

    Anyone else reminded of Big Country Reeves with Kaman?

    It remains to be seen, but if he stays healthy I'm pretty confident the blazers have one of the better backup centers in the league.

    That's always the risk with him, but we have (knock on wood) a good new health system to buy into, and a reason to want to play (I think he sandbagged his time with the L*kers... I know I would have!).

    He's solid.

    My first thought, as seen in my page 1 post, I was meh on this even though I knew he's solid and that was simply because I wanted a long(er)-term backup.

    His drop-step is awesome. Leo needs to be a sponge for as long as we have Kaman.

    Honestly I would love him to teach Aldridge some of his footwork.

    I am liking the passing between he and Robin. Nice to see two 7 footers looking for one another.

    I love being able to use LA, Kaman and Rolo on the court in any combination with success. Rolo and Kaman are really solid together and will only get better. Kamans spin move to the rim in the post is as good as it gets for a big guy

    There really aren't many centers in the league that can guard kaman. You could probably count them with a couple fingers. And that's our backup!

    I watched Kaman on the clippers a decent amount since I always had him on my fantasy teams and the Kaman we have now looks a lot more polished just from preseason and the one game so far. His post moves and passing are very underrated and his main problem on offense has always been his all to often STUPID turnovers where he seemed to just blank on what to do and throw up a horrible shot or make a bad pass or dribble. With his minutes reduced since he wont be starting bar injury then thats a part of Kamans game that shouldn't rear its ugly head to much.
