Yes! I love getting Camby!! Good deal! No more having to have Blake out there, and Travis was injured anyway and I don't see much PT for him. Great move. But thanks to Blake for being a pro, and Travis for his clutch shots and just being an overall good guy for the team. However, I'm happy KP has the balls to let some of his guys go.
I don't think TO gets anything more than an MLE offer next year, which means he could come back to us. And Blake? We could re-sign him with the bi-annual exception if we felt like it.
Webster is neither good nor expiring. I can't see Philly being interested in him. And, of course, his salary doesn't match Iguodala's. After trading Outlaw and Blake, it's very hard to match up outgoing salaries with a big incoming salary.
yes also I forgot.. I have been hard on them at times.. But both players have been nothing but professionals since they have been here. I totally agree with Maxiep that I bet at least one signs in the off-season here.
I will miss both Blake and Trav, but on paper I think this trade makes sense. A consolidation was in order, and this particular deal fills an immediate need as well. I like it. It's good. Hopefully Camby stays healthy. Which has proven to be a big "IF"
I thought he has a long-term deal, like 5 years or something crazy. I would love to see that kid here.
somewhere in Portland, KP has a browser screen open and he's jerking off to this thread and yelling "yeah, you take it you bitches!"
If we went for Iggy we would have had to traded Outlaw and Webster and blake. Not gonna work out now.
WTF. This trade is off the ESPN and NBA pages. I don't want to be a downer, but remember what happened with the Hedo deal when that was all over the ESPN NBA cover page?
Also... If it has been written already I apologize... but lets not lose site of the fact that its one less legit Center out there for the Thunder to get. I heard they could try and get Camby... with his presence that would be kinda scary!
@blazersedge Hollinger's analysis on the ESPN trade machine says Blazers +4 wins and Clippers -6 wins.
