Marcus Camby doesn't defend. He jumps across the lane to block an already contested shot, leaving his man wide open.
Camby blows. You don't need him.
You are MUCH better off with Sheed, who is one of the best post defenders of our generation.

He runs, he defends, he blocks a ton, he's a veteran, he doesn't requires touches or plays in the offense, he adapts quickly to new systems and he has Finals experience.
Oh, and he's been surprisingly durable in the past several seasons.
And it looks like he just might be available.
Get familiar.

If not Sheed, Camby would be my second choice, no doubt.
Camby makes about $8 million this year and next and then his contract is up.
And quite frankly, Camby is a better fit for the Spurs than Carter or R. Wallace for a number of reasons.
His salary is more condusive to a trade and his position and skill set matches our needs perfectly.
I was hoping he might become available with the Clippers going nowhere and them having a glut of big men.
Check this out:
On December 17, 2008 Camby pulled down a career high 27 rebounds in a 109-115 overtime loss against the Chicago Bulls. He also had 19 points, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks.
That was in one game this season. Not one week. One game.
Got defense?
He doesn't solve anything.
soft....
You know as well as I do that blocks don't prove on defense.
His only asset is that he's a good rebounder.
False.
Camby may not be the best man-on-man defender, but the Spurs require a help defender more than anything right now to help Duncan patrol the paint, grab offensive rebounds and block shots.
And that's exactly what he does.
To say "Camby blows" is dumb. Your posts are typically good, too.
Don't be stupid.
Blocks don't mean sh1t on defense? Do they count as a made basket then?
Get a grip.
The Spurs need offensive rebounding ans a shot blocker.
Who is one of the - if not the - best at that today.
Here's a hint, Y2J --- Marcus Camby.
P.S.
You're bleeding.
Why not just grab Elson cheap -- a poor man's Camby.
he actually makes 10 mil this season, and just a hair under 10 mil next year (dont use hoopshype...), but its still a fair price, and a conceivable figure for the spurs to obtain.
and while i think hes an overrated defender, hes clearly head and shoulder (and hips and knees and feet) above most of our current front court. and if the cost isnt too high, hes on the short list of player i think could be reasonably obtained and would make a significant impact on the team.
GW is right.
Camby would be a great fit. Its just i chose Sheed over Camby because he is WAY more versatile on offense and more playoff savy than Camby.
Um, he addresses all of the Spurs needs at a lower salary than Carter or Wallace.
Offensive rebounds. Blocks. PF/C. Tremendous team defense pivot player. Not a disruption to the offense.
He might be the perfect solution.
WTF are you talking about?
They don't mean if the man he's supposed to be guarding is free right under the basket. You're stopping 3 shots and giving up 6.
I know the economy sucks, but how poor we talking.
Elson never grabbed 27 rebounds in 4 games.
Is "not the best man-to-man defender" a euphemism for "he sucks outright"?
This was last season and he has not slowed down:
2007-2008 season
During the 2007–08 NBA season, Camby continued to make his mark as one of the best defensive players and centers in the game. He finished the season averaging 13.1 rebounds per game (second in the league), 18.1 rebounds per 48 minutes (first in the league), 10.2 defensive rebounds per game (second in the league), 14.1 defensive rebounds per 48 minutes (first in the league), 3.61 blocks per game (first in the league), 4.96 blocks per 48 minutes (first in the league), 285 total blocks (first in the league), 1.06 steals per game (third among centers) and 3.3 assists per game (second among centers).
The season before he won the Defensive Player of the Year Award.
And you idiots say he is soft, doesn't play defense and doesn't address any needs?
Die.
Yeah, they hand out Defensive Player of the Year awards out to guys who can't defend.
Kill yourself.
he's exactly what we need but no talks about him i guess the spurs don't want him for some reason or more like the clippers don't want to get rid of him but are hearing offers
while i think chandler would be exactly what the spurs need (i know, the spurs have no shot at getting TC), camby would be a significant improvement from what we've got right now.
Good call.
I've coveted Camby since he put on a show in the 1999 playoffs with the Knicks.
I didn't think the Clippers would move him so soon, but it looks possible now.
