CAMBY TO BLAZERS!!

[OSUBlazerfan]

OMG finally we get rid of the two guys I wanted gone all along..... wow, great trade KP

 

[maxiep]

We'll see if Camby is willing to play team ball. For all his talent, he's never been a team player.

Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.

Sorry to see the Travis fans see Travis go, but... this team now has a chance (a CHANCE) to get to the second round this year, and we do it without giving up any of our future.

Me gusta.

We'll see. It should just be him standing in the key, waiting to block shots.

He should be playing for a contract AND he should be motivated to show the Nuggets they messed up by giving him away.

Jeah!

Who wants to make the Blake/Outlaw appreciation thread?

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

I'm real happy about this!

 

[cdub503]

woooow so does that mean blake and outlaw will be in clippers uniforms tomorrow? i likey

 

[Blazed Mania 52]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Pritchslap!!

@chadfordinsider: Camby deal a home run for the Blazers. Kevin Pritchard does it again ...

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Nice work, KP! I see no downside to this deal.

He's ranked #2 in boards and #6 in blocks in the NBA. That sounds like a good teammate.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

I bet either Outlaw or Blake re-sign with us next year.

I think Blake is a possibility. I think Outlaw's price will be driven up higher than we'll want to pay for the role he'd be asked to play here.

Both Steve and Travis have been "good guys" and I wish them the best!

That's worrisome, but are blocks and rebounds really team play anyway? If he steals rebounds from LMA, I'm not too concerned.

It takes longer than a day, right?

I've been looking for a single for tomorrow's game...it will be weird if none of these guys plays...

Stats aren't everything. I watched Camby put up great stats here in Denver for a couple of years, yet they gave him away for a 2nd round pick and won more than they did with him.

Probably none of the three play tomorrow.

[illmatic99]

Kpeee. Uh Oh.

 

[MIXUM]

yah i doubt blake or camby play.

thats good though... less big men for the clips. camby killed us last time.

roy and camby on friday????

 

[MIXUM]

Whats cambys contract like?

When he battles his own teammate for rebounds allowing the opposing team to grab the board or leaves his man to attempt to block a shot leaving his man open, then it's not team play. Both instances I've seen time and time again from Camby.

 

[maxiep]

Whats cambys contract like?

Expiring.

 

[illmatic99]

Whats cambys contract like?

$9.5 mil, expiring after this season.

 

[BenDavis503]

This is fantastic news!!! Great, great trade!!! Especially if they waive either of the two and we get them back.

 

[MIXUM]

shit... too bad he didnt have a year left. would be beyond perfect

 

[Mamba]

In your eyes, does this put you in a contender position?

Hmm. Well, maybe Sarge will rein him in.
