    "If Nuggets 6-11 center Marcus Camby exercises his contract option and becomes a free agent this summer, his agent, Rick Kaplan, says he plans to ask for a six-year deal in the area of $60 million. Camby is averaging 10.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks this season. But who wants to guarantee that kind of deal for an eight-year veteran who has missed an average of 30 games a season, including 53 each of the last two years, because of chronic injuries?"

    this is quoted from the Chicago Sun times.I dont knowif we should be its possible. And Camby did play for Van Gundy before.

    he asks too much based on his one dimensional skill.

    Haha! That is freakin hilarious. Would he like a side of fries with that as well? :rolleyes:

    $10,000,000 for a scrawny big guy with no offensive game. If someone actually gives him $10,000,000 per season I will slap my mom for not making me 7 feet tall.

    Late last season during a game against GS, the Warriors announcers made a comment that is indelible etched into my memory. At that time over the course of his career, Marcus Camby had never played more than 18 straight games without an injury.

    Unless the Rockets SnT for him (why help Denver?), all the Rockets can offer is MLE money...about half of what Camby is asking. 60 million over 6 years? We didn't learn anything from the Glen Rice debacle?

    speaking of Camby, it reminds me of that brawl that sent JVG to the floor when Camby hit him hard while trying to stop the fight. I think JVG will think twice about this ...
