....BAHAHAHAHAHA! Don Chaney, Who Are You Kidding?

CAMBY'S SET TO PLAY SUMMER BALL-- Errrr New York's Resort To Plan B

May 23, 2002 -- Marcus Camby is heading to Houston, but not to the Rockets for their No. 1 pick. As part of his rehab for his hip injury, Camby is planning to play in the city's highly touted pickup games at the Westside Tennis Club for a few weeks in July, along with such NBA standouts as Nick Van Exel, Sam Cassell and Steve Francis.

They are regulars, as are Knicks' Shandon Anderson, Othella Harrington and Travis Knight, who just moved there. Houston is an offseason haven for NBAers for tax reasons.

Houston offseason resident Don Chaney first raised the idea to Camby, and Anderson convinced him.

"There's a lot of good run out there," said Camby, who will stay with relatives in a Houston suburb.

Said Chaney: "It's great for Marcus because he needs as much playing time as he can get. It's especially good there in Houston because they have all those pro players who reside there."

Camby, who played in a career-low 29 games and missed training camp, has attended the first two days of Purchase workouts for potential draft picks. Next week, a handful of top-10 guys are expected in.

"Management asked me if I'm up here to greet the guys, watch the workouts," Camby said. "I'm around, so it's a no-brainer."

Reading between the lines here I reckon Don Chaney is getting Camby ready for the reality that the Camby/Houston talk is about to blow up in a big way in regards to the number 1. Camby is an idiot if he isn't aware of whats really happening here. Don Chaney going mad scientist is classic. Too bad Houston ain't going to fall for it. But it was worth a try hugh, Don? God....
