It not only includes 1999 it also includes his games this season. However in 01-02 and 02-03 he put up back-to-back 29 game performances...
Does that stat include the 1999 season? Over the last 5 seasons, Camby played an average of 68.6 games. Get him if we can. Since he is an expiring and the Clippers' biggest need is bench players. This is not a video game where you can own with 3 big men and Baron Davis.

Absolutely. Without a doubt. But I'm not sure what it would take to get him. For one, I don't know if the Spurs have cap space, or if moves would have to be made to create flexibility. And of course... who would you have to give up to get him?I see this guy is the missing piece but he makes to much money
he can defintly rebound i think he had like 23 rebounds a week ago and he can block about 3 shots a game, and could put up about 10 points. I think he would be such a presence when we play against the hornets he could match up really with chandler in which we could put duncan on west, anyone else agree?
I would guess that we'd have to part with Hill, Thomas, maybe another young player, and a draft pick. Is it worth it? Certainly in the short-term it would be.
As long as he gets here in time to acclimate to the Spurs system, and is healthy in the playoffs... I don't give a damn how many regular season games he plays.
not hill give them splinters rights
and get rid of the end of the bench guys like udoku,and vaughn
clippers know there not going to make the playoffs so they get ride of cambys big contract and they get splinter where theylll buy his rights from that brazil team
Marcus Camby:2008/09: $11.25 million, 2009/10: $10.9 million, 2010/11: Free Agent
Marcus Camby finished Wednesday's loss with 16 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, a steal and two blocks as the Clippers fell to the Sixers at home
Marcus Camby finished Tuesday's loss to the Kings with 15 points, 24 rebounds, four assists and three blocks
Marcus Camby had 16 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks in Sunday's loss to the Mavericks
Lets take this to the next level. Trade Manu for Camby on your video games and let me know what happens in the West. hahahahaha
Agreed.
If Camby was traded to San Antonio, he couldn't get here fast enough to suit him.
Anyone outside of Timy, Tony, Manu, Hill, Mason, Bowen, Ian, and Splitter are untouchable in getting this guy. Sorry Bonner, but Camby would be huge for this Spurs team, even more so than Bonners spacing. I think some combo of Matt, Fin, KT, Fab, and Ime could possibly get him. Not like Pop will try cuz there's only like a 5% chance of a deal happening, but it'd be nice. Not only is he a top 5(he'd be 5) C, but he could be the man ST always wanted whenever Tim is out, so that's at least 13 minutes guaranteed at the PF position, throw in 13 at C and the Spurs would be the favorite for at least a few years. And another mentor for Ian would be nice.
I dislike Camby's game a lot, and I believe he's one of the most overrated defenders ever..he also has a big ego..but I would definitely welcome him on this team, except for the contract..
the problem is obviously the fact that we wouldn't be able to get him for any of our players..
What don't you like about his game?
I don't know about any of that but he should fit the Spurs system greatly
i think they would part with splinter he going to be in brazil until he's 27 by the time he starts getting good he'll be around 30
again i would trade thomas,udoku,and vaugh thr rights to splinter and a second round draft pick they gave away to denver
so i think its even then we can sign marcus williams to replace udoku and either aheam or farmer to replace vaughn
I know, right?
That man is everything we need.
Camby would be an excellent addition to the Spurs provided that he do the following:
1) D & Rebound first - his O isn't his primarily function on the Spurs. His value to us is on this end. Ego or not he would have to park it and buy into this role to really help the Spurs. I agree with those who think he would. He would be looking at a very real chance to win it all if he comes here. Outside of '99 in NY he hasn't been close.
2) Never take a shot beyond 15 ft - everytime I watch him shoot beyond that point he invariably misses a high % - he would be much more effective closer to the rim. He has a tendency to fall in love with those shots and that would really hurt our offensive flow.
3) Concentrate on getting garbage points - running a play or two for him is OK in order to keep the opponent's D honest.
The point is what would the Clippers want from us? NO big 3 or Hill and Mason. Outside of them I think anyone is available. Though I love Bowen's game to be able to get an interior player of Camby's caliber it may be neccesssary to include him if the Clippers want it. I personnally don't think they would be it might happen.
Camby's flaws are well-do ented..
he's an average man defender due to his small size and weak frame..
he's a BAD pick and roll defender..this is known throughout the L..Spurs fans saw it first hand with the Roger Mason GW vs. the Clippers this year..Camby refuses to defend the pick and roll, and he's been like that his entire career..
Camby is also known for stealing rebounds from his teammates to inflate his stats..Ralph Lawler even commented last game at one point, saying "Camby's getting every rebound, even from his own teammates"..this was after he took the rebound from one of his guard teammates..this was also well-publicized in Denver, as any Nuggets fan would probably tell you..
Camby's ego is also a factor offensively..he's known to want to dribble the ball up a few times a game, he throws up garbage ill-advised jumpers a few times a game..he needs shots..
part of the reason the Nuggets look better this year is because of the emergency of Nene..he's a much better individual defender, and a much better pick and roll defender..he also fits much better with the offense and gets inside a lot more..
Camby is what he is..he's a GREAT help defender, he's a great rebounder..he's also a great passer..all these aspects would fit well with our team, I never disagreed with that..the problem is that I wouldn't give up any of the big 3, Hill or Mason for him..so what else would the Clippers want?..
the Spurs don't need a flashy defender, we need a hard-nosed guy next to Tim..we need a guy like a Joel Pryzbilla or a Kendrick Perkins..we won't be getting neither of those guys, but somebody like that would be ideal..
He's a great player!
why wouldnt he fit in our system hes everything we want
Manu would get Camby. The Clippers need a good 2 guard. Thats a trade that helps both teams.
Move Hill to starting sg and get his confidence up by giving him playing time. Hill has the potential to be a future star but he needs to develope his game by playing.
Trade Manu?!?!
Wow, let's get some perspective...
The Spurs, despite being without two all-stars for a month of their season so far, have a good enough record to be well inside the top 8 and will more than likely make the playoffs. They've added depth to their lineup and it seems each returning player is playing at or above their level last year.
That sets the Spurs up nicely to be contenders this year, despite what the media says about us being virtually assured a Lakers/Celtics rematch. There is absolutely NO reason to trade an all-star cailbur player to gain some rebounds and blocked shots alongside Tim Duncan.
And as for Camby coming here at all....not gonna happen. He makes too much money and the Spurs have for trade assets.
i dunno man, this guy puts up monster stats against scrubs, but when against a guy like tim duncan? he should hand back that dpoy cause his not one.
Manu for Camby? LOL..
Agreed. If that were to ever happen you can find me down at the Spurs HQ with a loaded gun looking for the one who OK'd this. That's figuratively.
Anyway the Spurs would never do that IMHO.
no manu for camby
if denver gave away a second round pick just for camby
what makes u think la wont do the same dumb mistake also e ally for us to beat there in town rivals the lakers which more fans cheer for the lakers at there home games then the clippers lmao
