He was playing stellar ball up until the week of the all star break. No one was talking about trading him and certainly no one was calling him out. The whole damn board was screaming All Star. And guess what, our season has been over even before then. Currently NO ONE is playing well; they don’t care, we don’t care, the world keeps spinning. Guys are padding their states and not playing with any consistency or team orientation. Yeah it’s fucked up, they shouldn’t need motivation when they get paid like they do, not grinding it out in the real world (I’m not bitter haha). But they need some sort of motivation, and from here on out the only real motivation, for most of these guys, is earning their next pay check.

I’ll admit Kaman is playing awful ball right now, but I’d bet on it not having much of anything to do with his game and more about the disappoint this season and team has been. Nothing matters at this point and if the team or a couple of players start a game off slow, they’re gonna find it more than difficult to hang around with any team.

At least the Nets have some motivation to not have/tie the worst record in history.
