Chris Kaman doesn't want to be a hindrance

"I just want to get back and be healthy," said Kaman, whose return isn't expected before the weekend. "With that being said, coming back do I mess up what they have going on? Blake's been playing a lot better and kind of getting into a groove. Eric's been playing real well.
"And I don't want to come back and mess that up."
Gordon shakes his head when asked whether Kaman's return would detract from that.
"I already know it's going to be better when he comes back," said Gordon, who is in his third season with the Clippers. "We need another big [man] who can pop-and-shoot it. There will be more opportunities for me and him because he can step out and shoot."
"That will be great for us," said Griffin, who has scored and rebounded in double figures in five consecutive games. "Eric and I, what we developed is good for the team. Eric and Chris already have that chemistry, playing together two years now. And I think Chris and I have that chemistry.
"So it just adds more pieces."

bull, he doesn't want to mess up what exactly? Dude needs to man up. Sounds like he'd prefer to be dealt.

Blake and EJ are playing well but we are still losing. Kaman needs to play

I don't have too much of a problem with what Kaman said. It's good that he has recognized that the team should revolve around Griffin and Gordon and that he doesn't need to disrupt that by trying to do too much. With that said, he still needs to get back to the team ASAP. Things will change, but the less we have to use Collins and Cook, the better.

I'm ok with what he said as well. If he can play some good defense, and hit some mid range jumpers (which hes done well at until this year at least) he should be able to help for sure. I just hope we don't go into a kaman post-up heavy mode again once he gets back.

He's been out so he should adapt to what's been happening.
