more like a mehhh, portland could have gotten more for 2 exprings than Camby's corpse. They arent gonna win anything this year...

[23LeBronJames23]

So Aldridge is playing at PF and Camby will start at C?

[bigdog]

Retarded trade for the Clips.

[Lars]

Cool, nice little stop gap for Portland this year.

[ffadicted]

Good trade for Portland imo, very nice job

[timvp]

Portland must really want to make the playoffs . . .

[Kobe Molested Me]

Starting line up for Blazers:
Miller
Roy
Webster
Aldridge
Camby

Not bad

[timtonymanu]

aww Roy's gonna be pissed his favorite PG Blake is gone.

But this is a good trade for the Blazers since Oden and Joel are out.

Camby - LMA - Webster - Roy- Miller
Pendergraph - Howard - Batum - Rudy - Bayless
Dante - Mills

[bigdog]

I just can't believe that was the entire trade.

[lil_penny]

Roys favorite teamate off the court was old catfish troutlaw. Id imagine he will be furious over thie trade.

[mardigan]

Great trade for the Clips.
Outlaw is going to be a nice addition to that team.

[DAF86]

Portland must really want to make the playoffs . . .

What's wrong about beign the best you can be?

That's why I want the Spurs to make a trade, I know there's 0,00000000000001% chances of winning the championship but I'd rather lose in the 2nd round or WCF than in the 1st round or not even make the playoffs.

Cue the after school special.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

[DAF86]

Cue the after school special.

I honestly don't get what you're trying to say.

[timtonymanu]

I honestly don't get what you're trying to say.

how is what he said hard to understand?

[DAF86]

how is what he said hard to understand?

I understood every word of it, I just don't get his point. Was he pointing out a grammar mistake? or is it a US pop culture reference?

Yeah, it's a US thing. My bad :toast

[DAF86]

No problem :toast, I googled it but nothing came up.

Sources: Camby upset about trade to Blazers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=mc-cambytrade021510&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)
By Marc J. Spears

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcus Camby unknowingly attended his own farewell dinner on Monday night.

The Clippers are on the verge of completing a trade that will send Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers, league sources said, but the veteran center is not happy about the deal. Or the way he learned of it.

The proposed trade, which was first reported by Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, will send Camby to Portland in exchange for forward Travis Outlaw, guard Steve Blake and cash.

In town in advance of their Tuesday game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers were having a team dinner at Portland’s Ringside steakhouse Monday night when Camby received a call on his cell phone from Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard. Pritchard informed Camby that he will likely be traded to Portland once the league finalizes the deal on Tuesday.

After taking the call, Camby immediately walked out of the restaurant. A source close to him says he is “very upset” about the trade. He had hoped to re-sign with the Clippers this summer.

“He likes the Clippers, he likes the organization, he likes L.A.,” the source said. “His wife is not happy in L.A. And he’s not one for change. He’s definitely not happy about this.”

Camby isn’t the only one angry.

Said one Clipper: “All the guys are upset because our best defensive player got traded basically for a backup point guard and money.”

Outlaw, 25, played in 11 games this season before breaking his left foot, and the Clippers are unsure when he’ll play again. Blake, 29, is averaging 7.6 points and four assists in 51 games.

The Blazers have been searching for some inside help to deflect the blow of losing centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla. Some in the league also believe Pritchard wants to clear the way for Jerryd Bayless to get more time in the backcourt with Andre Miller.

The Clippers, meanwhile, also have been shopping forward Al Thornton, who was meeting with his agent Monday in Portland.

Camby, 35, is averaging seven points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers. He is making $9.1 million this season in the final year of his contract. Just last week, he told Yahoo! Sports he hoped the Clippers wouldn’t trade him.

“It feels good to be a wanted man, but I like it here,” Camby said.

Camby left the restaurant without most of his teammates getting a chance to tell him goodbye. He is not believed to have finished his meal.
