The biggest problem with EB was that the faithful thought him a superstar….and the truth is he was just a very good player…not even an all-star.

I think that’s a no brainer for the Clips, but Washington doesn’t really have a need for Camby’s basketball talent. They know they’re not getting a ring this year, so the 3 month rental of Camby doesn’t matter them, it would only be about the money.

With that being said, they should be able to get a lot more back than just an expiring contract for Butler. Clips would have to throw some draft picks in there for Washington to even consider it.

Really great bit of writing, D.J.

I was bummed when Elton left, but I’m long past the anger thing. I don’t find any joy in watching him flounder in Philly. He moved on and so did I. If Elton had stayed, we probably wouldn’t have Blake today. I’m over it.

Now, the Shaun Livingston injury… that still makes me wanna’ cry.

i’m thinking they’d want camby for a strong defensive presence as well as his expiring contract? i’d be more than willing to pull the trigger on that trade. if camby stays a clipper through this season, i’m confident he won’t be re-signing. i see him signing a smaller priced contract with a sure-fire championship contending team, especially at this point/end of his career.

not only would we get the quality 3man on the offensive AND defensive end, but it will make room for deandre jordan to get quality minutes and a chance to develop quicker. so why not send over camby? better than riding him out this year and losing him for nothing in return.

thoughs D.J.?

Elton made us who we are, gave us hope and never gave up when he played. As far as I’m concerned he’s the greatest clipper of all time and I blame dunleavy and the organization for letting him walk away for nothing

we had 2 great assets we could have traded into something better but instead we let them walk. At least Otis smith was smart enough to keep gortat in Orlando even though he had little minutes to give him. We let a max contract and a $10m player walk away without even trying to sign and trade

we failed as an organization. Don’t blame elton

It’s said to say…Brand deserves more Boos from us fans than cheering.

I’m booing him when he comes and play us at the end of the year.

Thank god he did bypass Faulk. W/ Elton resigned, EJ & Blake Griffin would’ve been a far away dream. Plus we’d have a past his prime injury prone post player as our “star”.
