Blazersedge Monday's here, the site is back running normally, and it's time for the Mailbag! Dave, Why did Chris Kaman's value drop so fast? Wasn't he an All star? (though he was replaced for B Roy's injury)I thought he was one of the better centers in the league when he was playing for the Clippers. In 2011-12 he was getting paid 14+Mil and it dropped to 8 in one year and now he is considered a retread. Sangwoo Injuries took mobility out of an offensive game that was already considered shaky. Kaman had good moments for the Clippers but he was never a guy you'd rely on, particularly defensively...
Portland Trail Blazers May 19, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas ESPNDallas.com will estimate the market value for each of the Mavericks' eight free agents and examine their worth to the Mavs in a once-per-day series. Chris Kaman Let’s put it this way: Chris Kaman isn’t going to invite coach Rick Carlisle to join him on one of his beloved hunting trips any time soon. Unless, well ... never mind. It’s an understatement to say that Kaman’s season in Dallas didn’t work out as well as anticipated.
Dallas Mavericks April 25, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | Dallas Morning News As expected, the Mavericks’ locker room was noticeably less hairy prior to Monday night’s game at American Airlines Center.

Dallas Mavericks April 15, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas DALLAS – The Mavericks are a much better looking team Monday. The .500 beards aren’t all gone, but they’re much better manicured, at least in most cases. Center Chris Kaman is the exception, as is often the case. He didn’t shave a single hair on his face, saying he intends to grow a Duck Dynasty-style beard. “People are complaining about it,” Kaman said. “Don’t worry about it. It’s my beard.” Dirk Nowitzki was the lone Mav to shave immediately after Sunday’s win in New Orleans.

Mavs Moneyball With four games left in a decided season, we at Mavs Moneyball are turning our thoughts to the off season, to hope. With that in mind, we hear the news that Chris Kaman is interested in returning to Dallas. Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star Telegram has more: Kaman has been in and out of the starting lineup this season because of his inconsistency, and is averaging 10.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Despite all of that, Kaman believes he and the Mavs are a perfect match. "I'd love to be back, but I don't know what's going to happen with the organization,'' Kaman said after Friday...
Dallas Mavericks April 12, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas DALLAS -- Elton Brand isn't quite ready to return. Brand will miss his fourth consecutive game because of a sore right calf. The Mavs thought Brand might be available for tonight's game against the Suns, but the decision for him to sit out was made after his pregame meeting with the team's medical staff. Brand's injury is part of the reason that Chris Kaman is getting his most minutes since January. Kaman responded by averaging 14.8 points and 8.

April 9, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas That might have been a money game for Chris Kaman. Kaman opted to sign a one-year, $8 million deal with the Mavericks last summer instead of taking a similar offer from the Trail Blazers. Considering how he’s bounced between the starting lineup and the end of the bench, it’s hard to believe that Kaman will return to Dallas next season. Portland could be interested again in signing him, however. Kaman certainly made a strong case Sunday night that he can help the Blazers, who will again have a hole to fill at center with J.

Mavs Moneyball Tonight, the Dallas Mavericks take on the Denver Nuggets, a quiet contender playing some terrific basketball lately. The Nuggets don't have a superstar that dominates the ball but the Nuggets generate offense with some clever spacing, lots of movement and a hellacious pace with lineups featuring elite athletes on the floor at all times. So tonight, your Dallas Mavericks starting center is...Chris Kaman! Of course! Wait, excuse me? dafuq? Here's the rest from ESPNDallas.com and Tim MacMahon: With Elton Brand dealing with a sore calf that might sideline him against the Nuggets, the Mavs...

Mavs Moneyball The Laker game was one of the more frustrating basketball experiences I've had in a year full of them. Starting Chris Kaman after a successful series of games with Brandan Wright made me crazy. His role within the team structure is so poorly defined that he hurts the team when he plays. Roles matter, and people knowing and understanding their roles are what helps define a successful organization. Take the good staff here at Mavs Moneyball. Our fearless leader, LJ, is fantastic at dealing with a myriad of personalities, schedules, writing styles, and ridiculous emails. She is the link b...
Dallas Mavericks April 4, 2013Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas DENVER – Coach Rick Carlisle prefers to keep his starting lineup under wraps until the NBA-mandated 16 minutes before tip-off, but Chris Kaman cleared up any mystery about who would start at center Thursday night for the Mavericks. “I’m starting tonight,” Kaman said, “but that’s all I know.” In other words, Kaman doesn’t know whether he’ll play two minutes or 32 minutes. It’s been that kind of season for the 10-year veteran center who signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the expectation of being a starter.
