He really has..... horrible pickup.

I have been a Kaman supporter from day one, but he has far exceeded my expectations.

Uh oh... the makings of a rift between Rolo and LA.

 

[PDXFonz]

It's nice that these guys are comfortable joking around like that. Everyone is there for the same reason and there are no questions about that.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Suck it, Bill Simmons!!

 

[MickZagger]

That spin move, left-handed dunk by Kaman was on point.

 

[maxiep]

I'm waiting for Kaman to go full Portlandia and regrow the skullet.

Same here. I knew he'd be useful, but 12/8 being his low-end of average lately? That's something else. Gotta make sure he stays healthy!

NBA player or Lord of the Rings fanatic? You decide.

 

[PDXFonz]

Would Chris Kaman be first player to win most improved and 6th man?

I miss the skullet!

[Further]

Glad he is our problem.

 

[blazedanugz]

its dumb to say now but he just seemed like one of those signing that works out in portland...doesnt suprise me hes playing great. perfect guy for a perfect role

 

[magnifier661]

We have a damn good team, with players that actually like each other.

Could this be the strongest team we've ever put together?

 

[Sinobas]

I was telling you guys in the signing thread that he'd be good....

Spencer has been crap in LA...no better than Meyers Leonard.

Wait a minute...Meyers has been playing much better this year.....

Say what?! You were talking trash about how our team made shitty moves

Hated the signing. Thought Kaman was done after his past few seasons in DAL/LA.

Very pleasantly surprised.

 

[Schilly]

People are surprised because they always think every move is terrible. Kansan averaged 19.8 points and 11.2reb per 36 last season. Highest for his career for scoring and second for rebounding. And we are taking about a guy who has been an All Star.

It wasn't so much the signing that bothered me. I was a little unhappy that we gave him the full MLE.

but but but.... I liked signing Steve Blake!

Why would that matter? They had 2 roster spots to fill used the MLE on Kaman an the BAE on Blake. They could have used half the MLE on probably a lesser player and saved the other half for a guy that would have to be cut our at best beat out Claver and be a suit warmer behind the bench.

 

[magnifier661]

So I have a question...

We don't have bird rights on Blake or Kaman. Does their contracts run out before they qualify?

I'm not going to argue with you. I was merely saying what bothered me at the time of his signing. So far things have been great. It was another savvy move by Olshey.

 

[illmatic99]

I didn't think Kaman was worth the full MLE either. I thought that money could be spent better elsewhere. I recall seeing Woj's tweet about our signing and yelling to my friends that were around me that "Neil is out of his fucking mind."
