"While declining to discuss the specifics of the last two weeks during which he was exiled from the New Orleans Hornets while the team attempted to trade him, reserve swingman Chris Kaman said Monday he had no issues with the way things have transpired.

Kaman rejoined the Hornets at practice on Sunday after being told on Jan. 27 to stay away from the club as it tried to negotiate a deal elsewhere. The team announced in a press release on Saturday that Kaman would rejoin the club since a trade could not be finalized.

"You know what, it wasn't a big issue," Kaman said. " I was asked to leave; I think they thought they might have had a trade or something. I'm not sure. I don't know the situation. I did what I was asked. They asked me to come back and that's kind of the extent I know about it. They've been pretty straight-forward with me and I have no complaints there.""
