Marcus Camby

Camby
The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed in principal on a trade with the Denver Nuggets to acquire center Marcus Camby as their replacement for Elton Brand, according to NBA front-office sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Clippers will only have to surrender a second-round pick to acquire Camby, who is being jettisoned by the Nuggets purely for payroll relief.

would've been nice to have in Spurs uniform if we had some cap space...

[TheMadHatter]

Holy .......former DPOY for a 2nd round draft pick? Damn that's the best they could get?

[Tippecanoe]

does kaman move to the 4 now, or camby to the 4?

[Leetonidas]

WTF???

[TheMadHatter]

Kaman at the 4? This move makes little sense.

Unless they are planning to flip Kaman or Camby for a real PF.

[td4mvp21]

They got their cap relief.

[monosylab1k]

what the is with LA teams getting total bull trades?

[ShoogarBear]

, nice move Denver.

You hopped off the bandwagon too fast.

[monosylab1k]

so do I stay with the Blazers until they're wrecked, or go back to the Clippers and finish what I started?

Camby played 79 games last year. By the law of averages, he'll play 6 this year.

[Gino]

At least the Nuggs didn't throw in two first round draft picks like Steve Kerr and the Suns.

Camby has a nice jumper. He can play the 4.

I could see a sign and trade going down for Okafor or Josh Smith though.

[benefactor]

Unbelievable. This makes the Gasol trade look like an even swap. I know you need cap room but crap...a 2nd rounder and thats it? FAIL.

[21_Blessings]

Los Angeles General Managerial supremacy.

finish

[JamStone]

Good thing for Denver they have very durable players at the PF and center position with Kenyon Martin and Nene. I mean, can you imagine the Nuggets making that deal if those guys were injury prone type players?

[Spurtacus]

Interesting...

[jacobdrj]

Sweet. Now all they have to do is get rid of that moron coach Dumblevy and they have a real shot at an ECF bid IMHO.

[JamStone]

If the Clippers make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, then I'd be really impressed.

[Jeremy]

At least the Nuggs didn't throw in two first round draft picks like Steve Kerr and the Suns.

Yeah, but come on, Marcus Camby is >>>>>>> Kurt Thomas.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

wtf?....... lots of salary relief to lock up JR BUT a 2nd rd pick?!

im glad Camby is gone coz he was overrated and frustrating at times, but this is a joke

[21_Blessings]

Not a joke. But your team is a joke.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

your team will never be a joke coz im sure you will be supporting whoever gets to the Finals next year, but it was a nice try bandwagoner
