The deal is expected to be for one season.

Kaman spent last season in New Orleans, playing in 47 games and averaging 13.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.

An avid hunter, Kaman posted on Twitter one thing he is very excited about with his move to Texas.

"I want to say thanks to the Hornet fans for all the support, even though our marriage was a short one!!!" Kaman tweeted. "I do love Texas guns laws tho! Pretty excited..."
