God Camby is such a drama queen...
Is there any decent NBA player who gets traded for less than Camby?
God Camby is such a drama queen...
Sounds like Camby already has his vacation reservations paid for . . . now he has to go to the playoffs?
Wonder how Roy feels about losing Blake?
That Atlantis resort is hard to get reservations in may late April...
Nope,..
He'll come around to playing ball and will even come to enjoy Nate McMill and having more fun winning and getting playoff money performing with all that talent the Blazers have,..they'll be fine.
He'll adjust,..
They've got other guards they just got a legit big to really be able to crank it back up.
There's some washed up over the hill veteran we're overlooking and Spurs are targetting... I wonder who it is...
Hey man, what you smokin? I want me some!
Al Jefferson? Where the did that come from? What have we got that Minne wants?
As for: "Of course i want tyrus thomas and salmons like the rest of yall" - since when did that become popular?I foresaw that as a potential trade 6 weeks ago on here and at the time no-one liked or wanted it, and gave me for suggesting it. At the time, I said I wasn't totally sold either, but I like the upside on Thomas (even though he's a major headcase... could Pop and Tim get through to him?), and Salmons is solid and might thrive in (or be crushed by! See: Jefferson, R.) our System.
Do I think it's the right move now - for scraps and expirings, yes, for young assets or Manu, still not sold. I hope he retires a Spur, even though he's now no more than a good 6th man. He runs the second unit well, and he's learning to play with his diminished physical capacity. I think he's got another two years as a Spur in him before he retires.
Larry Hughes.
It seems Camby is content with failure.“He likes the Clippers, he likes the organization, he likes L.A.,” the source said.
Or that he's almost 36, playing for his 4th NBA team, and would be perfectly content to wait until July and pick where he'll go for last contract.
He'll still be able to do that.
Given this is the second time he's had this reaction, I think he just wants to be wanted.
I mean, these trades always happen around Valentine's Day, too.
Apparently, the Clips have to waive/ do another trade for this trade would mean that they will have 16 guaranteed contracts -

UPDATE: This trade has not yet been made official. The inclusion of cash going to the Clippers has now been mentioned by various sources. The Clippers will retain the Bird Rights to both Outlaw and Blake once their contracts expire.
A few things to keep in mind:
If the trade stands as currently constructed, the Clippers roster will be over the limit at 16 players, all of which are on guaranteed contracts. This could mean there is another trade in the works, or more realistically that someone will be bought out of their contract or waived.
The Clippers did not hold the bird rights to Marcus Camby. If this trade goes through, they will hold the Bird Rights for both Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake for next Summer.
The details are still fuzzy, but the Clippers stand to make money off the trade even if cash is not directly included in the deal.
Check back for more details as they become available.
Blazers probably sent $3 million to the Clips and Sterling couldn't wait to sign off on it.
anybody know as to why that would be the case? He was under a long term deal when they traded for him . . . shouldn't that equal them having his bird rights?The Clippers did not hold the bird rights to Marcus Camby.
Well, I'm not crying for a guy who has made nearly $100M for playing a game, just saying that he'd probably rather finish out the season at home with a loser than live out of suitcases for a few months to play up in Portland. I'm sure he'll get over it.
That report is wrong. The Clippers hold full Bird rights to Camby and they will transfer to Portland with the trade.
makes sense for both teams. blazers can go back to competing in the playoffs with all their players healthy and without a big hole in the middle. the clippers get outlaw, who is a better defender than thornton and can score some points. outlaw will develop into a nice roleplayer who can become an elite defender with further development.
personally, i think the clippers could have milked more value out of camby but outlaw seems like a sufficient young piece for the clippers.
Camby was the most obvious trade target for Spurs, he likely will be traded for quite nothing. Not a good news.
Exactly,..
I'm surprised the NBA doesn't pressure him to sell the team to get rid of him. He's a sheer cash grab cancer that isn't interested in compe ively flooring a winner at all.
Bob Johnson is selling down in Charlotte and that's a blessing to the league. For Carolina fans and the NBA I hope Jordan gets ownership of that team because he'll deliver them a winner.
Wow - Camby is pissed. Pritchard's people skills continue to shine. Are we sure it wasn't Pritchard who wrote those emails to Scola criticizing his game?
With Webster and Batum causing a SF logjam, I can see why the Blazers did the trade.
Camby can help right away, and if he clicks could be resigned during the summer.
But I'm with everyone who said the Blazer's injury bug and Cotton Camby are a bad mix. That's just spitting into the wind.
I agree. The Spurs missed out. The rest of the remaining targets are not as much a "fill a need"er as much as Camby was (with all his flaws notwithstanding).
Always knew though that the Blazers were among those who were in the buyers market for Camby.
Spurs could do some surprise trades. There area tons of better players in the league than Camby. I will wait to see what Spurs do (if they do something) before having some kind of regrets.
