Chris Kaman open to overseas offers

Add Chris Kaman to the list of NBA players who may be headed (back) to Europe if the NBA season doesn't start as scheduled.

The Los Angeles Clippers center is already overseas, competing for Germany's national team at EuroBasket, where he is the tournament's leading rebounder heading into the second phase that begins Wednesday in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.

Like international teammate Dirk Nowitzki, he has received a couple of tentative approaches from foreign clubs that might provide alternative employment if the lockout extends into the fall.

If that happens, Kaman -- whose options would be increased due to his European passport -- will give any offer serious consideration.

"I totally would. I'm open to any opportunity," Kaman told ESPN.com.

"I just haven't got to the point where I know what's happening with the NBA yet. I want to at least wait to October to figure out if there's going to be any kind of talks about the season. We'll see what happens then."
