    If so, has D12 proved himself at TheToyShop sufficient to merit inclusion?

    BTW - - where was The Whopper???

    Is D12 a backup center?

    I'd say he could back any center up!

    What else can Camby do except eating and sleeping?

    Blocking shots, rebounding and cracking skulls with elbows.

    He does play with his back to the basket, so I'd say yes.

    Rox should pick him up. Plus this is a great situation for an old vet.

    He can't play a lot of min but a solid 15 - 18 min will be sufficient.

    Can clippers or bulls offer more? How does it work when a player is waived?

    who can/will offer the most btw clips, rox, bulls?

    no way we get him for the vet min if other good teams are interested.

    i'm all for this btw, vet leadership, depth at the 5 (with or without trading asik).

    The ONLY way he plays is if Asik gets traded. If he demands minutes and signs with Houston, I'd take that as an indication that Asik is on his way out. He'd be perfect if LMA is our back up center.

    PF
    LMA - 28 min
    DMo or TJones - 20 min

    Center
    Dwight - 32 minutes
    LMA - 6 minutes
    Camby - 10 minutes

    The team with the worst record gets him. In this case, Chicago and Houston tie for the worst record (45-37), so I dont know about next tiebreaker criteria. I would bet for Houston for being an 8th seed and coming from a worst record at the previous season.

    (That was presuming that Chicago, Clippers and Rockets claim him from waivers offering him the minimum).

    No one is going to claim him. He's due $8 million for two years
