Stephen Jackson makes less than Kaman. Antawn Jamison makes less than Kaman. EmOkafor makes nearly the same. Comparing his salary to other people in the same range just shows how really far off the mark he is.

I mean, for what we pay him, he needs to show up. Hes either injured, or scatterbrained, or he surprises the heck out of you. If he was just more consistent or could really focus while playing I wouldnt have to much animosity towards him but more often than not he seems more like a liability than an asset, even during the games he seems to put it all together you can count on him turning the ball over at least twice.

Then to see offseason videos of submachine guns and pyrotechnics…I mean, you just want to roll your eyes. He seems more serious about blowing things up than being successful with his career.

Then there’s KAMAN. His team-mates know why he’s here. They know he doesn’t value basketball anymore. He’s enough money to take care himself. His loved ones told him not to bang his body and warned against getting injured. It’s not worth it. They’re just Clippers. If you want to play hard, join Lakers. That’s what Derek Fisher did. He went to Warriors for money. But did take pride in playing hard for them like did for Lakers. Beware of DEREK FISHER type of players. There are few of them in this league. KAMAN is one of them.

Oh, Camby. He’s still here. Nothing personal. He’s a great guy. I like him. But he should not think, he can continue to play when he never feels ready for practice sessions. IVERSON felt the same way.

with all of this being said, i still would like to keep him on the team because of the positives he brings. most nights he controlls the boards. he is a presence in helpside D. he does command a double team and is our best option in the post. if he ever can finish and hit that jumper with consistency, he should be an 18/12 guy. problem is, he has never been consistent whether due to injury (mostly), focus, roster changes, switching medication, etc…

i am hoping he can come out focused and healthy this year and prove his worth to the team and value in the league. that way we can better evaluate the entire roster at midseason while having options to move and shake if necessary.

kaman plays better when he is loose and the team is having fun. i see a better blend of personalities and characters in the locker room this year and feel it will translate into better play on the floor from the team and specifically kaman.

i think this team could “do well” in a couple of years.

i guess it all depends on who we would receive in the trades, assuming it would not be expiring contracts.

As long as these 3 are in the mix, we’ll continue to end up beaten no matter how hard Griffin, Gordon & Co. play.
