Chris Kaman: Mike D'Antoni is awesome 

Post#1 » by Slava » Thu Oct 10, 2013 4:48 am

"This is the best training camp I've ever had," Kaman said. "He's an awesome guy. He's a player's coach. I don't know how he ever gets fired anywhere. I have a lot of respect for him."

There are going to be people whose eyes bug out when they read that quote. But Kaman was completely sincere.

"I think Coach D'Antoni is a very fair guy," Kaman said. "He lets everybody have an opportunity, and then you need to do well to keep getting opportunities."

I like this A LOT. love is good, love is good, love is always GOOD!
Very good sign. A motivated Kaman is an All star center....or borderline
Young and Farmar very good friends and playing for their beloved team, many players in contract year, others with something to prove....
This is going to be a great season. Wait and see.
Last year started as favourites with 0 chemistry. This year underdogs with 100% chemistry.
I got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night!!!

I've liked what I've heard from MDA this camp. Hopefully we can all put last year behind us. Just gotta win games and have fun doing it.

I'm all in on this season, no targets on our backs time to surprise the world and make a deep playoff run. I'm hoping the Clippers get the 3rd seed because we'll have the 6th seed

Warspite:

Prince + filler for Kobe Bryant
To be honest the way Prince has played and with Kobes injury/age/mileage Im not sure I would do that deal either. Still Prince is more important and he wins the head to head battles with Kobe.

Kaman is continuing a long legacy of great Laker centers. We are so lucky to have gone from Shaq to Pau and now Chris "cow man" Kaman just in the last few years.
