CAMBY TO BLAZERS!!

[Minstrel]

Yeah, I don't understand where people are getting the idea that the deal has fallen through. It sounds like it simply isn't official yet, but still expected to happen.

Los Angeles Clippers center Marcus Camby(notes) unknowingly attended his own farewell dinner on Monday night.

The Clippers are on the verge of completing a trade that will send Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers, league sources said, but the veteran center is not happy about the deal. Or the way he learned of it.

The proposed trade, which was first reported by Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, will send Camby to Portland in exchange for forward Travis Outlaw(notes), guard Steve Blake(notes) and cash.

In town in advance of their Tuesday game against the Trail Blazers, the Clippers were having a team dinner at Portland’s Ringside steakhouse Monday night when Camby received a call on his cell phone from Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard. Pritchard informed Camby that he will likely be traded to Portland once the league finalizes the deal on Tuesday.

yikes.

But it's better to and while using some type of first grade name change (KPee) than be rational.

somebody convince me not to jump off this bridge!

In the dark, you might hit a baby duckling! Wouldn't you feel bad about that?

Wait for daylight....

 

[OddEnormous]

I can't wait till you guys play a couple of games and the Camby hate begins.

You must lead an eventful life...

“He likes the Clippers, he likes the organization, he likes L.A.,” the source said. “His wife is not happy in L.A. And he’s not one for change. He’s definitely not happy about this.”

Woj is big on the misinformation and typos - you'd think people would have editors.

I live for these happy moments.

yep.. let him be pissed. Man up and play like a beast to get paid more.. with THEM.

 

[Minstrel]

Camby's upset. Walked out on dinner. All that means is that his collaboration on paying the check has fallen through.

Trade still on.

I think this was Marc Spears.

no big surprise he wrote the article...

 

[barfo]

Camby left the restaurant without most of his teammates getting a chance to tell him goodbye. He is not believed to have finished his meal.

Ah, he's hungry, that's good, right?

Man, I hope LA doesn't have a kickass Turkish community. The wives always seem to scuttle these deals.

That's a brilliant way to get out paying - be infuriated and storm out and leave it to the other, lesser paid guys to shell out the money.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I like the trade in the short-term but I'm still having trouble being excited about brining in a 35 year old player.

 

[Blazed Mania 52]

He couldnt even finish his meal what a shame, hopefully Howard makes sure he stays in line.

Finally we get an actual Blazer on the team.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I think this was Marc Spears.

Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski contributed to this report.

I'm going to say he contributed the typos.

 

[THE HCP]

Shit, if Kevin was able to call him, that means Camby's agent gave him his #. He wouldn't have done that unless it was a done deal right?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

DRAMA TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!
