Camby 'Insulted' By Trade
Jul 17, 2008 9:49 AM EST

Center Marcus Camby made it known on Wednesday that he felt insulted by the trade that sent him from the Nuggets to the Clippers on Tuesday, according to The Rocky Mountain News.

"Blindsided, distraught, disrespected. All those adjectives. I definitely feel insulted," he said in a telephone interview.

Denver moved Camby to Los Angeles without getting anything in return, allowing them to cut roughly $10 million from their cap number.

"When I first heard about the trade, I felt like I was the scapegoat after all our past first-round exits and failures and lack of defense," Camby said. "I felt it was them telling me that I was no longer wanted, and I was the cause of everything that went wrong the last couple years on this team."

"I'm still in disbelief. I'm still in shock. I still can't believe this happened."

Somebody needs to register "Emo Marcus Camby."

What's the over/under on the combined number of games he and B-Diddy play this year? 50?

[monosylab1k]

He seems really eager to play for the Clippers.

[manufor3]

he's extatic right now

[Obstructed_View]

Yep, Marcus is a winner.

[Findog]

Right now Marcus Camby is listening to Dashboard Confessional and Sunny Day Real Estate on his Ipod and writing shitty poetry.

This is what you get when you gamble with your career.

Instead of going into a diffrent field,such as music, he decided to go into proffesional sports and now he is regretting it.

Marcus,PM me.

I'm giving FREE French Horn lessons and I will help you get you career back on track.

I graduated in the top 5 percent of my class so I know what I am doing.

[Supergirl]

Well, that doesn't bode well for the Clips. Camby was a steal for them, but I predict he'll be playing with a chip on a shoulder, and the first time they stumble, he becomes a malcontent in the locker room.

[Findog]

Clippers are kind of nuts if they think they can get 70+ games from BOTH Camby and Davis.

The same goes for the Hornets.It is hard for them to stay healthy all at once.

Baron is emo after Elton left.

Camby is emo just because he's there.

When you're relying on Chris Kaman to be your team's emotional leader, you know it won't be a good season.

So, if training camp were to start today, how would we rank the West:

Top three, no particular order: San Antonio, LAL, NOLA

Next two, in this order: Utah, Houston

Next three, no particular order: Phoenix, Dallas, Portland

Might be able to contend for one of the last playoff spots if everything breaks right: Denver, LAC, Sacramento

Fucking terrible: Oklahomo City, Minnesota, Golden State, Memphis

Top 5 are contenders with the exception of Houston.

[Spuradicator]

Oh Well.

Sorry Camby

Somebody check this man's arms and wrists for cut marks.

Bowen 'Insulted' By DPOY result.
Jul 17, 2008 9:49 AM EST

Forward Bruce Bowen made it known on Wednesday that he felt insulted by the result of DPOY voting.

"Blindsided, distraught, disrespected. All those adjectives. I definitely feel insulted," he said in a telephone interview.

Denver's Camby won the award for no fucking reason, and even though Bowen is the better defender, he lost out on the award without getting anything in return.

"When I first heard about the result, I felt like I was the superior defender after all our championships and successes and amazing defense," Bowen said. "I felt it was them telling me that we played worse defense than Denver, fucking DENVER, and I had no hand in the cause of everything that went right the last couple years on this team."

"I'm still in disbelief. I'm still in shock. I still can't believe this happened."

[JamStone]

I feel for Marcus Camby. The NBA should pay him a stipend for getting traded to help him deal with it. It's only fair.

[resistanze]

How could this happen to meeeeeeee.

[1Parker1]

How does he take it to mean that trading him has made him the scapegoat for their first round exits all these years? He has to understand that this was solely based on financial reasons and let's face it...they weren't going to get anywhere with a core of AI, Melo, and Camby in the tough West.

[shelshor]

Plus being smart enough not to take up the viola

"When I first heard about the trade, I felt like I was the scapegoat after all our past first-round exits and failures and lack of defense," Camby said.

Wasn't Camby the defensive player of the year? :lol

undeserved

[Boston Pancake]

Kevin Garnett. Camby was the year before.

[RonMexico]

RonMexico insulted by Tyronne Lue signing with Bucks.

[Pero]

Ah that's right.

[Bruno]

IMO, he was more insulted by what Clippers had to give up to get him.

Camby's mind "I'm the DPOY, a great player and I'm underpaid."

Reality check : Camby traded for a second round pick...

[DANILO DRASKOVIC]

and I'm insulted that camby makes 10 million dollars for 8 months of work

[Findog]

Camby is just being a whiny, look at me, attention whore. He knows damn well the Nuggets are blowing the team up and starting over, and he's the first piece to go. Iverson isn't going to be a Nugget either once March rolls around.

They shouldve got rid of George Karl first

[Medvedenko]

I feel for Camby and understand that emotions and feelings are part of the game.

[1Parker1]

^Shocking that a LakerFan identifies with millionaire athletes whining. :wow ;)


It's a joke btw, before you get all defensive and rant on about the greatness that is Kobe and talk smack about the Spurs in retaliation.....

[ducks]

I think what camby is upset is that he got traded for a pick and a second round pick for that

for a player's ego that is an insult

Are you sure about denver winning "championship"?. I mean, they have a coach who is not a leader. Melo is not a leader neither and Iverson is still Iverson...he just shoot and shoot and shoot....besides without Camby the defense is NONE...

[bdictjames]

When you're a former DPOY, it wasn't like he sucked last year as well, and traded for a second rounder?

The only worse thing for that is when you're traded for cash.

[LakerHater]

He makes the Clippers front line a whole lot better!!
Him Kaman & Thorton! DAMN

[The Franchise]

Why is he so upset? With all the pieces the Clippers are picking up he may be landing in a better situation.

[Ill Cosby]

So they didn't trade him, but gave him up just so they could clear space....for what?

The Nuggets need to play some D



1. LAL
2.NOLA
3.Houston
4.SAS
5.Utah
6.DAL
7.PHX
8.Portland or Denver
9.GS(might finish worse though cuz no baron)

Top 5 are contenders with the exception of Houston.

The Laker's can't beat the Hornets in a 7 game series, plus Houston still ain't goin' nowhere next year just like the last 5 years I'd put Utah after the (1) Hornets and (2) Spurs

Is it just me or is the Western Conference becoming the Eastern Conference? i.e. only about 3 teams have been consistent for the last 5 years

And the fact the old (and great team BTW) Spurs are still on the top isn't a good thing. They've been the oldest team in the league for a few years

[NBA Junkie]

I can only imagine how "insulted" Pau Gasol must feel being traded for Kwame fucking Brown.
