TRADE: Camby to Portland for Blake/Outlaw/Cash

[Glenn]

Marcus Camby to Portland for Outlaw/Blake is reportedly close to happening.

That would probably kill any 'Tay to LAC' speculation.

[Hermy]

Yeah, it's done. Nice deal for the Clips IMO, they weren't gonna use Camby next year. Outlaw has to break out eventually....right?

[Glenn]

Got a link?

Did the Clips get anything besides Blake/Outlaw/cash?

They were reporting it as done...a bunch of other paper latched on and credited them...now it's back up in the air. Sorry.

[Glenn]

No prob, I'm reading that Camby is pissed because he wanted to re-sign with LAC.

Clippers deal Camby to Blazers

Associated Press

Portland, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers are picking up needed help on the interior, acquiring Marcus Camby from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw.

The team announced the trade on Tuesday.

The Blazers are currently in eighth place in the competitive Western Conference despite a litany of injuries. Centers Greg Oden and Joel Przbyilla are both out for the season with injuries. All-Star Brandon Roy hasn't played since Jan. 20 with a hamstring injury.

Clips waived Ricky Davis, too.

[Cross]

Yeah, it's done. Nice deal for the Clips IMO, they weren't gonna use Camby next year. Outlaw has to break out eventually....right?

how is that a nice deal? a 7 footer who is still one of the elite shotblockers in the league for a backup pg and some cash...

Outlaw's injured for the rest of the year.

Camby for Tay and Kwame would've made more sense...but it is the clipeprs..

Camby is 36 and his deal is done. Clips weren't gonna make the playoffs, they got 3 million dollars and the bird rights to Outlaw. Beats sitting on your thumbs.

Well, well, well

2 trades down and more to follow?

I recall Hermy saying that only a couple would go down and therefore Joe would not look like a chump if he stood pat.

Time will tell but it seems a lot of teams are still looking to deal ...
