    Solid deal. No Bassy, but I'd take Thorton back if they are looking to shed salary.

    Just say no to Marcus Camby.

    The Clippers gets some money on a team that is not going to make the playoffs.

    The Blazers move a couple of expiring contracts for a quick fix on a position that they REALLY could use some help.

    This seems like a good (if not monumental) deal for both sides.

    A 36 year old Camby.

    Tyrus Thomas is a tool and not very good.

    If we made this deal, we could likely use our MLE on Outlaw and the BAE on Blake.

    From what others are stating, I would agree that the Blazers would also have to take on either Telfair or Thornton - preferably the later - for this deal to happen. The Clips probably want more than just expirings for expirings.

    Blake and Outlaw for Camby? Maybe.

    Oh, Camby is expiring. Totally.

    FWIW, Thomas is expiring, too.

    They can just let Camby walk at the end of the season when Oden and Przybilla is ready to come back for training camp. I like this trade.

    Clippers fans seem to think that Camby and Telfair and/or Thornton are gone this week, so maybe this could happen. One of them says they might be getting a guard and a SF in return, but that they don't know from where. Interesting...

    Camby is rebounding like a madman this season. He's #2 in the NBA at 12.1. If KP can pull this off, it would be huge.

    Seems like a good deal for us, even if we have to take Telfair back.

    I hope we aren't giving up Juwan Howard -- I think he does more for us this year than Tyrus Thomas. We would be even thinner in the front court than we are now.
