    Interesting, seems a bit different than the 21 million + 4 million in unlikely bonuses that was initially floated out there. I wonder what kind of bonuses actually were written into the deal.

    Storyteller on BEdge said that it's about 17.7 guaranteed, about 4 likely bonus, and 4 unlikely bonus. Essentially, Camby can earn 50% more of his salary as long as he plays hard. Great way to prevent him from pulling a Theo.

    If KP really structured this deal as is rumored, PA should be proud, because it's terrific.

    I hadn't heard that ... but, yeah if he structured the deal and got Camby to take it loaded with so many performance based incentives, then he did a very very nice job (maybe even enough to save his job).

    Ahh what do I know . . . but if KP gave me 20 million to play with, I would have signed Camby too.

    Nice move by the Blazers. I don't know what the future holds for Joel, but it seems unlikely that he'll end next season in a Blazers uniform.

    I'll be happy for him if he can play basketball again. He had an injury that is usually career ending, twice.

    No chance. Unless he comes back here in 5 years when his next contract is up and he signs for the veterans' minumum

    This is fantastic news. Even if Oden gets injured again, we now have a great chance of winning a championship in the next two years. Period.

    A great day to be a Blazer fan!!!

    Yeah, I know. His offensive game last night was even worse than usual. I'm hoping he comes out mad as hell on Thursday and puts up some good numbers.

    I don't know why I feel so relieved when a player isn't grossly overpaid. But I do. Good job KP if true. I love the fair contract with lots of incentives.
