Trade Becomes Official, Ricky Davis Waived

“We knew Camby was gone as soon as Dunleavy retired to the front office. But for this? No prospects, no draft picks, the same amount of expiring money that Camby was going to provide had he stayed on? Just a little cash thrown Sterling’s way? It’s pathetic. It’s so damn Clipper-y. I hate that. You should, too.” – Kelly Dwyer, from Ball Don’t Lie

Can we pin this on dts? Dts loves money and hates to spend it

The Dunce also wants to make sure the team does worse without him as coach.

And in the LA Times….

“I know we don’t have the best record,” Camby said of the Clippers. “I know we’re not where we want to be as a team. But my family loves the situation. My wife, my kids love the school system. But you can’t control it.”

Even though the Clippers have lost eight of nine games to fall a season-worst 10 games under .500, Camby said the situation wasn’t as bad as it might seem.

“I like our guys,” he said. “I like our coaching staff. Players, we’re real close. We’re like distant brothers. So I would love to be here.”

I still feel that Thornton and/or Telfair will be traded before Thursday’s trade deadline. Hopefully, Dunleavy isn’t done making deals.

I do not think we are so bad comparing what the Nuggets did to him. He did not want to play for the Clippers, In fact, he did not participate in any preseason game last season.

Does anyone realize we don’t have a healthy contributing backup pg? Our bench is one of the worst in the league because they can’t score, mainly because no pg. I love Camby but he is a full grown man and you are lucky to play in the nba for as long as he has and can do whatever he wants with his kids and as an nba player u can be traded anytime. I’m sure his kids are fine with their dad making 10 mil a year, hmmm they sure got it rough. Kaman is an all star, blake is #1 draft pick, DJ is a big man of the future, and rhino is a beast. Look at our other players baron -great passer but inconsistant scorer, EJ – still developing, Thornton – great in spurts but always has to create his own shot, Butler – needs open shots to score, plays a lot with the bench where no one can find him open shots. I mean we need a quality backup pg and blake is that, he started a lot in portland. These assets have long term value, while camby has got waaay too many miles to warrant any kind of young potential going to the clips. All contenders aren’t going to move young guys or picks for camby, and teams with good young players don’t need an old center. The blazers r in a rare situation where they need a center and have talent to trade and we took advantage. This move makes sense for our offense and frees up DJ and that makes me interested in a season that has been very disheartening.

No way Camby comes back in the off-season because of the way the organization handled this trade. Had they approached him first and said re-signing him in the summer is their goal, possibly. But the way Camby found out is going to spur him to give the Clips the middle-finger IF they do indeed extend an offer in July.
