Sources: Nuggets agree to trade Camby to Clippers for second-round pick

i feel sad for camby. he might've been overrated, but for only one future 2nd rounder? wow... and we all have been complaining about the way the griz dumped gasol. i know camby is not at gasol's level, but he's still a starter on a western conf. playoff team last year, a good player.

wow. just wow.

 

Well, I'd care if A.) we needed Camby and B.) we were in a position to make the same offer.

However, we don't need Camby and we're not under the salary cap so we would have had to sent players in exchange. As such, who cares?

Besides, the Clippers are still going to suck.

 

Here's why your comment is useless

A) This is in the NBA section, thus we are talking about the situation for the Clippers/Denver and not the Rockets.
B) Wasnt addressing you, was addressing the people who said this was a dumb move for the Clippers
C) Clippers signed Baron and lost an expensive PF named BRand.. instead they found a decent, if not good replacement for a 2nd rounder who's contract lasts til 2010. Pretty damn good movie imo

 

Anybody know what the Clips cap situation is now after signing Camby and BD and subtracting Maggette and Brand. I think they still have enough to sign another player if they want to and they still have their MLE.

 

How do they still have their MLE?

 

Walsh missed his chance.

 

not for another 2nd round pick, lol.

and i don't think they have the mle since they were under the cap.

 

Maybe 5-6M under the salary cap. I don't think they qualify for a MLE.

 

Well according to ESPN, they have approximately $3M left. Plus that is 1 less team who will go after Landry!

 

Seems kind redundant with Kamen

 

that'd be it. draftexpress hadn't added eric gordon's salary.

 

im guessing this thread gets locked because of the other one being so much more lively.

IBTL.

 

they need to get another shooter or player can score. what can 3 M get them?

 

lol they should probably be merged...

but doesn't this trade seem odd??

I can't wait to hear Nuggets4's opinion on it.

Camby isn't as great a defensive player as everyone seems to think, but they don't have any other centers do they?

So they gave up Camby for a bologna sandwich. Doesn't he still avg 10 and 10?

Does not compute!

 

Hmm, so does this mean all those restricted free agents like Josh Smith, Okafor and AI (the Philly one) stay with their current teams? Who really has the money to pay them?

 

I don't pay too much attention to the Nugz, but they do have depth with Hilario, Kmart, and that hustle player they have off the bench.

Assuming that Nene is healthy (which has never happened, ever.) then it's a good move cap-wise. But trading a guy who was in the top three in voting for defensive player of the year for a second round pick is crazy!

 

the clippers are a terrible organization.

 

I think that their leverage is severely diminished.

1) Baron Davis to the Clippers
2) Brand to Philly
3) Maggette to Golden State
4) Clippers acquiring Camby

Can't think of any team left that has a large amount of available cap space and is willing to use it.

 

wow...this is pure pwnage of denver's financial situation

nice move clippers...glad to see u actually be closer to the salary cap than the minimum salary.

 

THE WEST JUST GOT ONE MORE CONTENDER.

now the Warriors, the Nuggets and the Clippers will be competing like mad for the 8th WC seed.

Great WC Race next season!
