hes forsure, too expensive. pass on him.
I'd take him but I think he is going to be too expensive.

Spurs need to get younger...
Um, the article clearly says 11.25mil.
Not going to happen, although it would be nice.
Camby's contract will pay him $8M this upcoming year and $7.65M in '09-'10.

once again in a dreamers world...thou i think camby is overrated, he is exactly what the spurs need downlow...someone who just sits under the basket and swats balls away. imo that kind of help would have made timmys job so much easier, and of course it would make everyone else better as well...but i dont see holt spending that kind of money on someone who just sits under the basket and swats balls away...not at camby age anyways....oh well...just a dream....go spurs go
Nice pipe dream. But when I wake up, I realize that this will NEVER happen.
He's contract has a lot of incentive like playing 50 games or averaging 12 boards a game so the base salary is in range of 8 mil / year but the total salary if all incentives are reached is much bigger.
I don't know how it plays out with the cap or the trade restriction, if it's the base salary or the total salary that is evaluated.
Even if it's $8 mil, what do the Spurs have to send out?
I think what some here are suggesting is the Nuggz want to dump salary ASAP, so Spurs sign someone like Horry to some money and throw in someone like Vaughn, etc., then the Nuggets cut them. Or something like that. I guess something like the way the Mavs always use guys like KVH and Shawn Bradley, or whatever, to make trades "work".
I don't know exactly how this works with the cap, but I bet we would need to send money maybe to make it worth their wild?
Also, I imagine Camby would have to have some leverage to choose the team he'd want to go with. Otherwise, why would the Nuggets just say "hey, how can we help the Spurs get back on top".
let me combine some things I have seen on this board over the last few weeks.
Like others, I love the idea of Camby coming to SA, wanted him 2 years ago. Also, like others, I doubt it will actually happen.
But, if by some fortunate event, we are able to secure his services over the next two seasons, that would be awesome. Also, another good thing about getting Camby, we would get to send Vaughn to Denver. Perhaps we could also include Bonner in the deal.
Also, if we were able to draft F/C Ajinca, SG Lee, and G/F Brumbaugh....I think it would make for a sweet draft.
We sign PG Jannero Pargo to backup TP
We use our trade exemption for McGuire
We re-sign Thomas to the vet minimum
C - Camby, Oberto, Ajinca
PF - Duncan, Mahimni, Thomas
SF - Bowen, Udoka, McGuire
SG - Manu, Lee, Brumbaugh
PG - Parker, Pargo, Barry
Boom, we just got younger, bigger, more athletic, and stronger on both ends of the court.
That would push the Spurs into Lux Tax territory for sure.
It's just easier to say we're not getting him.
I am sure it would....but man would that be a fun lineup to watch on both ends of the court....
I think we might get Brumbaugh. That's about it.
How about this:
1 Paul
2 Bryant
3 James
4 Duncan
5 Howard
?
nevermind on using Bonner, I didnt know he had 2 years left on his deal....and both years are around 3 million each.....Denver would probably take 3 million for 1 year, but definitely not for 2.
come on now, my scenario was far more realistic than yours....no need to be a butthead about it....i am just throwing things out there. At least I am not delusional enough to actually believe that all of it, or even most of it can come true.
Camby is overrated. Helpside defender is where he makes a living. Way too much cash for his contract. I'd rather get Paul Milsap if the Spurs could swing that deal, but I doubt Utah lets him slip away.
Iverson at $20.8 million?
That is $253,658 per game if they play only 82 games (which I think they will next year, Portland is going to take their playoff spot)
Now that is not money well spent, my God!
I don't think so. He can get you 20+ boards from time to time. He runs the break fantastic for a big. Plus, he's a good defender. Oh yeah, I forgot, although it's awkward, he has a very nice touch around fifteen. Sure his back to the basket game isn't great, but, he's everything we need at the C spot. Only issues with him are potential injuries, but his minutes would be managed properly with a diverse front court.
I've been looking at that $8 Mil figure. But the $11.25M figure in the article is correct. None of the rest matters, because there's just no way the Spurs can get there.

i think he means as a DPOY winner, his D is overrated. i think camby would definitely help but his cons out weigh the pros. for example, hes pretty old, have had many injures, HUGE contract, and questionable locker room guy.
We'll have to agree to disagree on that, in regards to his defense. I think he's perfect along side Timmy. He's older, but, if we're pairing someone with Tim he's very ideal.
Contract big? Yes. Injuries? Who hasn't had one ever. He's been pretty good lately in that department overall. He's been running pretty smooth in my opinion. Locker room? not here. Everything is solved by success for the most part. But, it's not like he's Ron Artest or something LOL. His "O" isn't that bad either. In fact, it's pretty good compared to other centers outside of the flat out stars. Why do you think some call him a pipe dream? He's solid.
In my opinion, Ajinca reminds me of a young Camby.
