Camby Traded to Houston

[Mediocre Man]

Flynn, Thabeet, filler, pick

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Thabeet era is about to begin.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Seems like a LOOOOOONG way away from the "MAR-CUS CAM-BY!" chants.

 

[magnifier661]

I like Thabeet and the second rounder is nice too. A bigger deal is happening I bet. Look for it!

 

[alex42083]

I'm sure Camby is happy to go home.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

So we took on 4 players today for 2. We've got 17 players on roster.

Crawford/Felton deals have to be out there.

i actually dont mind flynn, but he's gonna get crushed here in nates 'vision'

 

[Pinwheel1]

Remember how badly we used to want Flynn?

Fuck NATE. It's still on him

The Rockets will send Jonny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet to the Blazers, source tells Y! Sports.

So no draft pick?

 

[OdenHoF]

I'm sure Camby is happy to go home.

Yeah, wonder if that was actually a consideration for the Blazers mgmt, a last respect for the old man possibly.

 

[alex42083]

I don't mind seeing how Flynn/Thabeet do. It shakes things up a little bit. I like it.

Flynn and Thabeet

Nice. This is fun.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Awesome.

Yeah, if nothing else it infuses the team with some more youth and will create competition for the starting spots.

2nd from Hou. via Minny

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Done deal: Thabeet/Flynn/2nd round pick

 

[Pinwheel1]

Talk about falling fast. Weren't both Flynn and Thabeet top 7 picks a few years ago?

 

[Darkwebs]

I'm sure Camby is happy to go home.

And to a team that's actually playing for something.

He'll probably play a little more motivated now. Oh well.

Re: Camby to Houston?

Malcontents for expirings, young guys and picks. Pinch me.

 

[BlayZa]

excellent

just as a side note of interest, what are the overs/unders on how long his knees will last once he steps in our building?

Oh have no doubt, Thabeet sucks ass, but Flynn might be salvageable.

I know right? What the fuck is going on? Is trader Bob secretely helping Allen behind the scenes?

 

[BBert]

Flynn, Thabeet, filler, pick

That's a very good deal. Two very good deals for the Blazers today. I must be dreaming.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I like this deal. They're all FA's, so no hurt on the cap. But it's a tryout. Both were highly thought of prospects at one time. Let all the young guys play and see if they can do anything. Are either RFA's? Or just unrestricted?

 

[illmatic99]

I think we have too many players on the roster now.

Essentially: Camby and Wallace for Flynn, Thabeet, Okur, Williams.

So overall, Camby and Wallace for Okur, Thabeet, Flynn, 1st rounder from Houston, 2nd rounder from Houston, and Shawne Williams. No longer term deals. Draft pick, and removal of a supposed bad egg. I'm liking this so far.

We'll see how that flies with Nate eh? If he's still around that is.

Two good deals, but unfortunately, it's with the eye on the future. So it's going to be a tough finish, but it'd be easier to watch if they really let Babbitt, Thabeet, Flynn, and Smith play with Batum, Wes, LA.... We'd lose most games, but give the young guys a tryout, since we're going nowhere but down anyway.
