Dirk to Chris Kaman: Stay positive, keep working

at this point in Kaman's career - does his play reflect a lack of desire or declining skills?

I think it's definitely both, but that really makes a terrible combo. Maybe the only worse one imo, is the younger player with tons of raw natural ability but doesn't care, isn't disciplined, won't learn to play the right way. (M. Beasley, Devin Harris; Gerald Green types.)

I think if Kaman had the burning desire, he would be able to milk his aging/declining skills for more than he has shown. I'm probably theorizing too far into the subject but, I think if he believed he was on a championship level team, he would show more hustle and play a bit harder on both ends.
