Why did Camby go to the Clippers instead of Golden State?
The Clippers already have a center (Kaman), whereas Golden State needs another big man. Golden State could have had Camby at center and Harrington at power forward, or vice versa. Either way would be fine, but they need a versatile big man, and Camby would have fit in fine.
Oh well.

Okay, now I remember.
The Clippers have an opening for a big man, too, since they lost Elton Brand in the "trade" for Baron Davis. (It was not really a trade, since Brand went to Philly, but Baron eating up the salary cap caused him to go.)

you need quality big men and Camby is better than Kaman. he is older but still better. hopefully Kaman will learn from Camby. this is if neither gets hurt.

Yeah, I know. Now they have flexibility in terms of having at least one quality center out on the floor at all times - Camby can be out there when Kaman is resting and vice versa.
In fact, since Camby can play both center and power forward, it would also be okay to have them both out there at the same time as well.
Looks as if the Clippers will be a revamped team this season - lots of new faces.

good move,camby can play PF(midrange shot) and is a much better defender than randolph

Trades are usually exciting and fun to talk about but this trade doesn't make either team a contender so who really cares.

At least the Clippers got Camby and Baron right? Now what about Kaman?

I'm not into the math part but the Nuggest arnt stupid, they know what there doing, For years they have been a great team......oh wait

the clippers have chris kaman and now marcus camby and they showed intrest in shawn marion and the heat need a center or a point guard so they could trade kaman or cambey to heat for marion

I just don't understand how the Nuggets traded an NBA defensive player of the year and got... absolutely nothing. Surely a few teams would have given more in the way of draft picks, or a case of beer, something.

I like trade for the Clippers because I really think Kamen and Camby can really coexist together. But the team that should have pulled the trigger on aquiring Marcus Camby should have been Charlotte.....Just think about it.....They trade Raymond Felton, Nazr Mohammed, and Jermareo Davidson for Marcus Camby and Taurean Green. That would have been a GREAT trade for them.

Clippers got a good trade after losing such a good player..

A team (Enver) that had one defensive minded player (Camby) trades him away for a 2nd round pick?? What the he*&???

Now I know $10 mil is huge off the books but what are you going to do about defense now? Without Camby's defensive presence they're opponents average wil be 115 next season. What a joke?

lol@hank hill...thats right..

Well they suck again... I guess 4 first round exits must have been too good for them. I do like the idea of getting rid of the best defender on the team, now we get to watch teams score in the high 130's a night instead of 120's. And Melo sucks big time, OVERRATED.

Hehe; LOL !!
Seriously though - good point you made there.
If they wanted to save money, they could have traded him for future first-round draft picks and cash instead of just letting him go for a swap in second-round picks.

Yes, but this time, the trade he proposes is actually reasonable and makes sense.
