    I'm not sure what projections your refering too but he can't sit at the games cause it hurts his knee. He tried running on a machine with partial gravity but it hurt his knee. He is a long ways from jumping uninhibited which he will need before starting any basketball. These are all facts from his own radio show.

    He is quite a ways behind the intial recovery projections.

    I would assume if Camby comes back, he buys in and there is nothing to worry about.

    First of all, Camby would start, with Oden coming back from an injury he would need to work his way back into the rotation....

    IMO Przybilla will not be ready to go by the time the season starts...so playing time for him is a non issue....then, provided that Camby and Oden are helathy...you would like to get Przybilla some minutes before the trade deadline to show that he is healthy and then trade him and his expiring contract to a team for something valuable...another scorer? pg? young project big man etc...

    I'm in the "Camby starts until Oden is back in game shape," group.

    I think Camby is the perfect guy to mentor Greg. I would like to see him start the first half of the season, and then bring Oden in slowly and phase him into the starting lineup. No pressure on Greg. He can play with the second unit, and hopefully boost our bench a bit. We could use a scoring threat on the bench.

    This seems the most likely outcome ... if Camby resigns.

    My money would be on a youngish point guard. Maybe Minny would take a flier on him getting healthy and being productive again, cause lord knows that team is in dire need of a real center to pair with either Jefferson or Love (beyond Darko), in that case I wouldn't mind seeing Andre Miller's son (Ramon Sessions) added to this roster -- he can't shoot the long ball for shit, but he's a good pick and roll point guard wasting his talents in that poor copy of the triangle that Rambis is trying to implement.
