Bucher: Camby traded to the Blazers

[Vic Petro]

What would the CIA move be at this point? Troy Murphy?

[EricB]

Could be. They already have 4 recent lottery picks on the roster and they'll be adding one more this summer. Quite possible that a young veteran like Outlaw is more attractive to them than a draft pick in the 20's.

and expirings in Bonner and Mason...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Makes perfect sense for the blazers. Oden's out, and they've been usin freakin Juwan

God I hope not...

[timvp]

Or maybe the Clippers liked Blake and Outlaw more....

Possible. Although if the Clippers had multiple offers for Camby, you'd think they'd wait until closer to the deadline.

Then again, they are the Clippers.

Camby is a move you make if you're close to a championship. The Blazers aren't. So WTH?

Yeah, that's what doesn't make sense to me. Camby is a good half season rental but the Blazers aren't close enough to do anything with him. He may help them make the playoffs but that's about it.

Could it be they're up to nothing?

Yes.

[scottspurs]

Ya know normally I would've said, nah things like that don't happen.

But ever since June of 2009, I can't leave anything out to believe.

You'd think they'd be wanting Tyrus Thomas, but, I don't know. I just don't get the vibe they want him that bad...

I think something is going to come out of Left field and surprise us all. Something is going to happen. Hopefully is it's a good surprise.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why every time the spurs get a bigman he has to be

1) the tiest athlete for a starter in his position
or
2) old and on the decline

It scares me when I think about who we would end up with if we did execute a trade.

[bigdog]

I seriously hope the Spurs do something before the deadline to make the frontcourt better.

Makes sense if making the playoffs is the goal, which very well could be the case.

Who the do you freaking want?

Dwight Howard?

[timtonymanu]

I really feel like we're standing pat. I mean we didnt even make a move last year when we needed to make one more last season. But I hope I'm wrong. I was pulling for Mason to stay but if he really wants to leave, then Spurs should try hard to get a big.

Hopefully Adam, because the Spurs arent going to win with a TD, Dice, and Bonner combo. Bonner, Finley, and Mason must go for a big and another wing....come on Thomas and Salmons!

[Mel_13]

Best guess would be insurance against Oden and/or Pryz not being able to return next year. They're ridiculously deep at SF even without Outlaw (Batum, Webster, Fernandez). They won't be able to sign a FA for more than the MLE this summer, so now they can resign Camby and still use the MLE to fill some other need.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Who the do you freaking want?

Dwight Howard?

God you're such a front office homer. Where did he ever say that?

Teams are making moves to get better. Right now the Spurs are not one of them. Criticism is valid until they make an appropriate move.

[Mr. Body]

Don't get this for Portland. LAC make a nice trade. Outlaw could be really nice in that roster and Blake's no slouch as a back-up.

Re read it again sunshine.

[L.I.T]

The Clips have also been discontented with Al Thornton. Travis Outlaw is a more well-rounded player by far.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Who the do you freaking want?

Dwight Howard?

anyone who is tall and a decent athlete and not old

thats what this team needs

noone is goign to beat the lakers unless they have alot of size
the chessboard has been set since that bas ass pau gasol debacle

and we've done nothing to address the core issue

Isn't Outlaw always hurt though?

[Sisk]

I'd think this cements that we are going to make a move, but the only one I can think of is salmons/thomas

Haywood is gone and maybe Camby now.. what else could we go after besides Thomas?

[Libri]

Watch the Spurs make a trade for somebody nobody expected.

[EricB]

Exactly, if Griffen gets healthy a Kaman Griffen Outlaw frontcourt is very nice, along with their PG depth and flexibility roster wise.

Great trade IMO for the Clippers.

jamison for mason,fin,bonner+cash or pick??????????

Tell me if a team has someone like this, would they want to trade them?

I'd love to know the names of the bigs that match that description as well that are available...
