    They say it takes big men longer to develop, but they also last longer in the league as well.
    Camby, Mutumbo, Hakeem, Parish, Cartwright, all old, and servicable to their last season.

    Love the move! Now we have a legit back up C. Now we wont be playing PFs as back up centers. We all knew Dalembert would not hold the fort down all season long.

    Plus Hill and Flynn werent giving us much.

    Camby is still very solid on D and is a good rebounder, also he's expiring.

    Fantastic trade...

    Dalembert/Camby will tear it up in the playoffs...

    I like this trade because we traded nothing for a player who can contribute.

    Although might be 10 years too late.

    I like this deal simply because Camby is a loyal guy and hates moving cities. If we trade for him and he enjoys playing in H-town we'll have a decent backup/starting caliber C for the next couple of years. Pretty good move...I guess this means we're not tanking thise season though.

    Doesn't Camby already have a house in Pearland?

    Because it's not what people were expected.

    Everyone is always devastated on draft night and trade deadline day, because everyone has their own set of ideas and trades to make the team better.

    Camby is loving this trade. Leave an imploding Blazers team and gets to play where he lives in the offseason. He's always wanted to play here.
