Chris Kaman is still considering the Clippers' five-year $50 million contract offer.

This is the first time owner Donald Sterling has made a proactive contract offer to a potential restricted free agent.  In the past, he has allowed the market to dictate itself before signing a player.

"I don't know why (a proactive contract offer) didn't happen in the past," Dunleavy said. "But I think it's the prudent thing to have happen, and I'm glad everybody here sees it that way."
