08:11 AM ET 04.27 | Marcus Camby said Thursday that he expects to have some options when he becomes a free agent this summer. But after roughly six weeks with the Rockets, he considers them his first choice. "I would like to be here, but I understand the NBA is a business," the center said. "A lot of suitors are going to be trying to reach out. This is where I want to be. So hopefully, we can make something work." ... The Rockets expect to finish the season Thursday with Chandler Parsons (shoulder) and Marcus Camby (back) out, along with Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin. The absences could mean extended playing time for rookie Marcus Morris and the Rockets' NBA Development players.

He was actually giving me great points in fantasy BB. But he slowed down at the end of the season.... a lot.

Pretty sure the injured list has first choice

Miami like everyone else! Would be good to see him in a Spurs uniform. Duncan vs Camby in college was awesome.

Sometimes it is easier to figure out where a player might NOT go. Then through the process of elimination, determine where his best fit is. I can guarantee you he is NOT going to Utah. They are loaded with bigs!!!!

One could say that about any veteran player looking to hang on a little longer... especially the championship part.

Still a very good defensive player, just don't play him for 35 minutes like the Rockets did, while trying to pull out of their season ending swoon. He will end up with Houston, this is where he lives.
