I Think We Should Go After Camby

[da_suns_fan]

Even if the Spurs were able to add Camby without giving up anything, it still wouldnt get them past the Lakers.

Nothing will get us far without Parker playing like Parker, RJ becoming a contributor and Manu staying healthy..obviously none of those things are a given though, but it's apparent that we need another big..

I don't think Camby puts us with the Lakers though..I wouldn't mind getting him, but he IS overrated..he's NOT a good 1 on 1 defender, he's too skinny and gets pushed around very easily..there are a few guys I would look for before looking at Camby..

what happens if we get camby and he plays like would you people shut up? lol

well, it took Bowen a little while to settle into the team, too. Bogans has only been a Spur for a couple months.

No it didn't. Bowen was awesome from the start here, and the second he got injured in 2001-02, the team nosedived hard. They were 25-8 (76%) with Bowen playing to start the season and were 11-12 (48%) with him in street clothes the next 23 games.

Jeez, people are stuck on Bowen in the same way they're still stuck on Robinson. They were both tremendous players, irreplaceable, but like all of us do, THEY GOT OLD. There is a reason they both retired. It's not like we let Bowen go because we were stingy or because we wanted to, it's not like he's tearing it up somewhere else. HE RETIRED. He retired because he got OLD. It's not his fault or ours, it's just life.

The reason Bowen retired is the Spurs didn't offer him a contract and he wasn't going to pick his family up and move them, especially now that his wife has a business in La Cantera.

Another thing about Camby. After the Nuggets got rid of their overpaid DPOY, they immediately allowed 6 fewer ppg and opponent shooting percentages dropped almost 2%. How do you get better defensively when you give up your supposed anchor? Cotton Camby sucks.

There's not a realistic way to work a trade for Camby due to his salary, but he will be a FA next year so maybe they can go after him then...

[quentin_compson]

Camby's defense is ridiculously overrated? Are you kidding? He would bring that size and length against the lakers and don't forget he has won a defensive player of the year award he would also be a major upgrade at the five than what we have right now.

Yeah, he has. Not that he deserved it, though.

[Johnny RIngo]

Yeah, he has. Not that he deserved it, though.

Agreed. Duncan deserved it over him.

Camby winning DPOY is like Kobe winning the David Robinson Community Assist Award for his work in Colorado.

[saxman]

I think Camby would fit in nicely with the Spurs. I guess, in a way, he can play the David Robinson role before he retired...

Camby tonight: 10 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assits, 5 blocks


One can dream....
