Perhaps we'll see more of his awesome plays this coming season.

Improving his explosiveness indeed. Not to mention that he's lighting it up.

Geez, the more I see stuff like this and hear the things he says about the Clippers, I just can't help but assume that his passion isn't in basketball.

If Chris wasn't 7ft he'd probably be trailer trash. :lol:

LOL, it's these kinds of things that make me love Kaman. Of course...they're the same things that make me hate him, too. :noway:

Pay attention, Kaman!

After all those vids, the thing that stands out the most was the awesome face Dunleavy made after Kaman airballed the 2-foot layup

OVERPAID bum, reminds me of Olowakandi (just a big) 1 good season and he got paid off only difference here is Kaman was smart enough to take the clippers initial offer instead of being Greedy like Kandi and holding out :lol:

Need to dump his arse on Dall for Howard if they're interested....Kaman/Thorton for Howard/fillers.

Same face he made when Randolph shot that airball three-pointer!

with the recent trade and getting Smith/Madsen I think Kaman should be shopped AGGRESSIVELY, I still stand by my idea of sending him to Dall for Howard/fillers. Smith is a big body so the big rotation wouldn't be that bad Camby/Griffin/Smith/Madsen/Jordan. Thats more than enough even with an injury here and there.

i want to see training

I also agree that we should shop Kaman aggressively.

How about this trade (works according to the trade checker):

Kaman for Battier and Cook.

Why for the Rockets? They need help badly at the center spot after losing both Yao and Deke, so Kaman can start immediately (it looks like David Andersen is Yao's replacement, but I think Kaman would probably start over him).

Why for the Clippers? Other than the fact that Kaman's a bum, we get Battier, who can be our "intangibles" guy. We have enough scoring. He can start, Thornton comes off the bench and provides scoring in the second unit.

New lineup:

PG: Davis/Telfair/Taylor
SG: Gordon/Collins/R.Davis
SF: Battier/Thornton/Novak
PF: Griffin/Smith/Novak
C: Camby/Jordan

I hope that Kaman has his behind in the gym. It's ok to spend time with family and friends but he's fortunate enough to have basketball as his job.

Here are a couple clips of Kaman's home court in Michigan.

I feel like this should be a bonus level on NBA Live or something. Or maybe NBA ballers.

I was a little concerned that he was having his gym painted rather than playing on it, but there is good news from Ralph. Kaman is back in LA and has been practicing at the training center daily.
