Not ruling out playing in 2016-17
Kaman, an unrestricted free agent, acknowledges that he could retire from the NBA, but hasn't ruled out playing in 2016-17 just yet, Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune reports. "I'm not in any rush [to retire]," Kaman said. "I'm waiting to see what happens with free agency. I'd like to play some more. It depends on the situation, though. I'm not going to close any doors until the time comes."
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old Kaman barely saw the floor last season as a deep reserve for the Trail Blazers, appearing in just 16 games and averaging only 7.0 minutes per contest. The organization valued Kaman for his willingness to teach and help develop the team's younger big men, so if he's unable to land a contract in free agency, he could stick with the Trail Blazers as a workout coach.

Since he was dealt to New Orleans in the Chris Paul deal in December of 2011, Kaman has wandered the wilderness that is that Western Conference, notching stints with the then-Hornets, the Mavericks, and the Lakers. With the last organization, injuries and a lack of connection with coach Mike D'Antoni capped Kaman at 39 games, but the Blazers still came calling last summer to serve as the primary backup center to Robin Lopez. If all went as planned, Kaman would spell Lopez for up to 20 minutes per game in order to keep both bodies fresh for a potentially deep playoff run. After Lopez broke his hand in mid-December, Kaman's workload was sustained, as Joel Freeland started eight of the next nine contests, but Freeland himself suffered a strained right shoulder to tip off January, forcing Kaman to start 13 consecutive contests. Although Lopez played out the string upon returning on Feb. 3, Kaman was visibly wiped out for the rest of the season, yet he still gutted out 30 appearances over the final 38 outings, including playoffs. Kaman's regular season output was respectable – 8.6 points (on 52 percent shooting), 6.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 blocks in 19 minutes nightly – but the exchange of Lopez and Freeland for the trio of Mason Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, and Ed Davis could result in coach Terry Stotts using Kaman more judiciously in his age-33 season.
