Pretty lopsided for Denver. Thank God, this trade didnt push through. I mean, why would you trade two young bigs for an old guy who has only recently played a full season. I dont understand the NBA sometimes.

Even though Camby is old, he is productive. We could only wish that Boone were to turn into Camby. He's pretty underrated, and very much so at 7.5M a year. Think about what the MLE is... and will buy you. -Petey
Camby's salary is about $9mm plus about $2mm in bonuses. The deal I thought should've been done was KVH+Hassell+Boone+Marcus+TE for Camby+Atkins. (separate deal: TE=Atkins) After buying out KVH for $500K the Nuggets would have $7.3mm on the books rather than $14.3mm (including Camby's bonus). Saves $7mm plus they have a center in Boone, replaced Atkins with Marcus on the pg depth chart and got a decent wing defender in Hassell. They are thin upfront now and old at pg.
Is anyone else a little concerned with the willigness to trade Boone? He improved A LOT last year and is really someone I think we will rely on this year. I know Camby does a lot of what Boone does and more, but he's also much older. Boone has been mentioned a bunch in trade rumors and I just hope that if we do trade him, we get good value in return.

If Camby would count more than 8 mill against the cap, the TE could have been bigger, since the Clippers are way more than 10 mill under the cap. if he counted 11mill as you said, the TE could have been as high as 11mill*1,25+100k=~14mill Boone+Marcus+KVH would have been enough to match... but too late now

Surprised the Clips didn't take a run at Josh Smith. They would've had to wait a few days to see if Atlanta matches. What is it 7 days?

Could Kiki take another shot at Camby in 30 days? If so, I'm sure the Clippers would at least pick up the phone.
