    Dude was a beast considering his age. He will do well for the Knicks, but damn we raped them on that trade.

    I'm happy he didn't force his way to Miami like some ring chasers (cough Battier). He would have ensured they repeated with his rebounding ability.

    Camby is a true vet and reminds me of the 90's NBA players who knew something about loyalty. Houston was his first choice, but things didn't work out and the Rockets went with a different direction.

    He gave his best when he was here, if he can replicate that with the Knicks then he will outplay his contract, I wish him health.

    Agreed. Stand up guy and will be missed. He did work for us on the boards, and remained loyal. Good luck with the Knicks.

    I have to say, Camby was truly one of my favorite players to put on the Rockets Uniform in quite some time.

    Couldn't be happier to have watched him play on this team for a season, but damn..what a haul.

    This is Morey's AAU team and you're out. Doesn't mean you can't hoop, just means Morey can't manage.

    Look at the bright side, Times Square is better than Westheimer or the Galleria.

    Camby was a class act while he was with us. I wish him the best of luck in NY (although I prefer for NY to tank as much as possible, we need the picks to be better). But him personally, nothing but the best.
