Camby Traded to Houston

[OdenHoF]

...1st rounder from Houston...

Just for clarification, it sounds like it's NJs pick not HOUs, which is substantially better than HOUs.

 

[illmatic99]

Holy shit. If that's the case, and the protection isn't that bad, that is amazing.

 

[Nikolokolus]

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

Don't concern yourself with Thabeet, he's a total bust and will never be a rotation player, Getting Flynn isn't bad though, he's maybe salvageable.

 

[BBert]

Flynn still has a chance to make it. Just keep Nate away from him.

 

[Darkwebs]

We are officially tanking now. Sweet! How far can we drop in the standings? Can we sit LaMarcus with some faux-injury?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Anyone know the contract status of Flynn and Thabeets? I know they're FA's at year-end, but are they RFA's or unrestricted (I know it's all about the QO, but assuming....)???

 

[B-Roy]

Love this deal. Flynn can play. I could see Thabeet turning into a Joel like player. Great deal. Is there a 1st?

I sure hope so.

 

[BlazerBeliever]

I just wonder what the Blazers are going to do with the roster from here on out? They have 17 players and are only allowed 15. So two people have to move.

Still haven't seen anything official on the Camby deal. Anybody have a link saying it's final?

 

[Sinobas]

Thabeet has a team option next year at 6.5 mil (no chance in hell he gets that unless he pulls a "theo ratliff" and starts blocking 5 shots a game from now till the end of the season).

Flynn has a team option for 4.3. I'm excited to see him play, he looked like he'd become a pretty good player when he first started off in Minn. Anyhow....it's a no lose situation dealing away Camby.

 

[Shooter]

Just found a link. I guess it's a done deal.

I'm sure Camby is happy to go home.

Bingo. We did him a favor.

 

[maxiep]

Holy shit. If that's the case, and the protection isn't that bad, that is amazing.

NJ's is top-three protected.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Any chance why can use Thabeet for spare parts for Oden and has anyone ever performed a human to human knee replacement surgery?

 

[illmatic99]

Jonny Flynn actually reminds me a lot of Telfair. But, he is not worse than Felton.
