OH SHIT... I should have known kpee would back down Two struggling teams looked to each other for help on Monday. The Los Angeles Clippers were in discussion to trade forward-center Marcus Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers for Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher. One source close to the situation initially said that the sides had agreed on the deal, but multiple sources later said that the deal was close but not completed. A Clippers source called the talks "substantive." The 35-year-old Camby is second in the league in rebounding this season at 12.1 boards per game, to go along with 7.7 points. The Blazers have had a hole in the middle of their lineup since Greg Oden went down with a knee injury in December. In a text message to ESPNLosAngeles.com, Camby said that he "hadn't heard anything about it" from either his agent or the Clippers. He has said that he would prefer to remain in Los Angeles, but he understands why his name continues to come up in trade talks. The 6-foot-9 Outlaw is averaging 9.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in his seventh season with Portland. Blake, a 6-3 guard, is putting up 7.6 points and 4.0 assists per game. He's coming off a 20-point, 12-assist game in a win over the Suns before the All-Star break. The Clippers have lost four straight and are on the outside looking in at the playoff race in the West. The Blazers are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, but star guard Brandon Roy has been nursing injuries and the team has been up and down.

Breaking News: The Lakers have given the Clippers Susha Vujacic and DJ Mbenga in return for Marcus Camby. Sources say that Kevin Pritchard is being t-bagged by Phil Jackson as we speak.
I like how Mixum is more excited over the prospect of the trade not going through and blaming it on Pritchard (without any facts to back it up) backing out.
Watch us not complete the deal... And KPEE stays pat once again! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
