    Camby 38-years-old, six teams have expressed interest in his free agency status in the last few days. Teams in negotiations with the 16-year NBA veteran include the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets. Camby is looking for a two-or-three year guaranteed contract starting at $3 million per season.
    According to

    I'd pay Camby MLE and more if he wanted.
    Thank you Camby for knowing what you should realistically get paid.

    Jrue Holiday thinks Camby is worth max dollars.

    He's also old enough to be his father (yes a ridiculously young one but still)

    How long did it take for him to break down in Houston? He's only good for contending teams who don't need to depend on him.

    Hell yeah, Morey better jump on that. Even if he only plays spot minutes, 2 years 8 million would be very fair. Damnit, I love Camby more and more everyday, wish we had him sooner.

    He's worth more than that, IMO. Would love to have him back.

    After watching him bust his butt for the short time he was here, I kind of hope he goes somewhere where he can get a ring.

    Easy sign. If we can still snag Asik with Camby in the fold. We just got way better.

    Agreed. Barring a major roster overhaul, Camby is wasting his time here

    With Asik and Goran up in the air, the Rockets need some sort of stability. They need to lock up Camby early. Get it done and out the way.
