PORTLAND, Ore. -- Marcus Camby (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=125) has signed a two-year contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=por).
According to official salary figures circulated by the league Tuesday after the deal was formally signed and obtained by ESPN.com, Camby's extension is a two-year deal worth $17.7 million in guaranteed salary. The extension will pay him $8,453,250 in 2010-11 and $9,256,500 in 2011-12.
The deal, though, also features unspecified incentives. Camby's agent Rick Kaplan told The Oregonian on Tuesday that the contract contains up to $5 million in potential incentive bonuses.
The 6-11, 235-pound center was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=lac) on Feb. 16 in exchange for Travis Outlaw (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2015) and Steve Blake (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=1994). He started 23 regular season games for the Trail Blazers, reinforcing a position depleted by injuries to Greg Oden (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3225) and Joel Przybilla (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=682).
Portland went 17-6 with Camby in the lineup, and the 36-year-old grabbed 17 rebounds Sunday as the Trail Blazers beat Phoenix in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
In a statement, general manager Kevin Pritchard (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2710) said Camby has been a "great fit for us."
17.7 million for Camby over two years? I know hes playing well but no way hes worth that. :lmao
