Camby not happy with trade
The NBA Source —
... Yesterday, the Nuggets dealt big man Marcus Camby to the Clippers in exchange for basically nothing(a possible swap of 2010 2nd round picks. Yay!). Camby, in the Rocky Mountain News, is just a little less than thrilled: ...
Rumors and Free Agent Updates - Celtics Spurned Edition
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog —
... teams have been pursuing Gomes. Teams such as Cleveland could intensify their pursuit now that Boston free agent James Posey has signed with New Orleans. Gomes' agent likely is eyeing the full mid-level exception of $5.6 million for next season. If Gomes signs with another team, the Wolves have seven days to match the offer or let Gomes go. Many Celtics fans have hopes of seeing Gomes in Celtics green again but it is doubtful that Danny will offer the full MLE to get him. The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that Marcus Camby was blindsided, distraught, ...

The Fundamentals

... Denver fans who entertained notions that Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson would ever lead the Nuggets to playoff glory received a very rude awakening when Nuggets management “traded” starting center Marcus Camby to the L.A. Clippers for the right to swap second round draft picks in 2010. Contending teams do not simply give away a valuable asset like Camby–and that is precisely the point: the Nuggets are not a contending team and their management is painfully aware of that fact.” Aaron J. Lopez and Chris Tomasson of The Rocky Mountain News : “After blocking 1,126 shots in six ...

Marcus Camby is insulted by the Nuggets deal… and he should be
Hail Mary Jane —
... big men in the league for a long time. In fact, in 2006-07 he was the defensive player of the year. The Nuggets, even with Camby, were have been one of the worst defensive teams in the league. They should be trying to get good defensive players instead of getting rid of them.
Marcus knows this and he also knows how much work he put in during his time in Denver but apparently the Nuggets didn’t appreciate it according to him.
Here are some quotes of his from Rocky Mountain News:
“Blindsided, distraught, ...
Marcus Camby Joins the Clippers: Cool… I Guess
SportsHubLA —
... With free agency still in bloom and the Clips stating a desire to be movers and/or shakers? Seriously? Some 48 hours (and some deep research) now passed, my take on the deal (which utilizes CBA rules allowing teams under the salary cap- like the Clippers- to trade without the normal salary matching requirements) is a little different. It definitely makes sense. Turns out I’m just underwhelmed, which is what disappoints me the most. Clearly, a “no harm, no foul” element is at play ( one sitting none too well with Camby ). As already mentioned, the Clippers give up nothing for ...
Camby Press Conference
Clips Nation —
... Sure, the guy was pissed about being traded for air. Who wouldn't be? He specifically said that he felt like he was being made a scapegoat for the team's playoff failures. But I don't think that is any reflection on the Clippers. I haven't seen any quotes that say that he doesn't want to play here, or that he doesn't like the city. He liked Denver. He did a ton of charity work there. He's mad that he's being shipped out. But he'll show up to work everyday, and he'll lead the league in blocked shots as a Clipper, ...
Top 5 Moves of the Summer (...so far...)
All That Jazz —
While the NBA has not been rocked by some four team, 16 player trade this off-season moves have been made which have changed the landscape of the league. October is just around the corner, 8 weeks away, and much can still happen. The market value for players has been relatively set by the offers and contracts signed by players like Elton Brand, Luol Deng, Baron Davis and so forth. There are a handful of interesting free agents left (Josh Smith, Andrei Iguodala, Ben Gordon, J.R. Smith and so forth), but with the NBA draft finished and ...
Grizzlies and Clippers 12/05/08 pregame notes
Grizzed by Vanjulio —
... They also have two of the top 15 centers alongside that exciting forward combo in Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby. For some reason this combo has proved to do nothing. I watched one game where Camby stood beyond the free throw line taking jump shots. I haven't even seen Kaman do anything good in the brief games I watched. Maybe he regrets betraying his country this summer? ...
