Meh. I think it's more like Kaman leveraged Dirk to get the Mavs to sign him.

8M for Kaman when Camby is going 4M per is not a deal. Granted Camby got 3 years (12M total) but 8M is a lot for an often-injured center. He's played an average of 60% possible games over the last 5 years (that's 50 games over a 82 game season).

I still applaud it because it's good for Dirk and it's the first tangible act of the offseason but it's not exactly a "we don't overpay for good players" signing.
