    Re: Marc Stein: Blazers in talks with Camby about extension now!!!

    Does anybody have an actual list of free agents and teams with cap room?

    My impression was that there were going to be a number of teams with cap space chasing a pretty limited number of stars (Wade/LeBron/Bosh). If that's true, odds are that Camby was going to wind up as somebody's consolation prize, with a $20 mil deal on some other team.

    i agree maxie...

    i think camby starts off the year as starter like blake did but oden (if and its a huge if can sty healthy) starts by thanksgiving and camby comes off bench as main backup to oden and la

    oden if healthy makes them a deadly trio

    OKC with Camby would be scary good. Part of overpaying Camby now is to keep him away from OKC, in my opinion. Don't let Camby be wooed in free agency; OKC is much closer to Houston than we are.

    Per Storyteller on Blazersedge, the most they can offer Camby is around $21.5 for the two years

    With so many teams with so much cap-room and a dearth of quality big men after Bosh and Boozer I fully expect Camby could have expected a 10 million per year payday for 2 or 3 years. The Blazers might be overpaying a touch, but I also think for just two years there's really no such thing as a bad deal in this situation -- worst case scenario he becomes a 12 million dollar expiring contract in another year.

    I agree that part of the overpayment is to ensure the other Wester Conference Teams don't get him

    Off hand without consulting any lists I can name a few with enough for at least one max player:
    Knicks
    Nets
    Bulls
    Clippers
    Heat
    Thunder
    T-wolves

    Dang. I didn't realize the list was that long. The Heat probably use theirs up to get Wade back. The Clippers will probably fuck up their cap room somehow, because they are the Clippers and that's what they do. But still.

    Camby was headed for a big payday. I'm glad we're the team that gave it to him.

    I read that the higher-than-expected salary cap means the Heat can sign an expensive free agent on top of re-signing Wade.

    Yeah, let's lock him up-Paul has the $$, and keep him away from OKC. I think this elevates our contender status for next year 10 fold.

    I believe 25 is too high, under the CBA.

    Max raise on an extension, I believe is 10% of the previous season. Which would take him to a starting salary of 10,065,000. Max raise is 10%, or 1,006,500 raise, or 11,071,500 for the second year, equalling a 2 year deal a little over 21 million. Who knows. Maybe his current contract number is off, or a bonus on there means his extension can be higher.

    My first reaction was total elation, and after letting it settle in for a little bit, I'm still pretty happy with the signing, but it really makes me wonder what they're long term plans are at the position. At the very least I think this pretty much guaranteed Joel gets moved over the summer or at the latest before next year's trade deadline, assuming he comes back and shows that he's able to still play at a reasonably high level he becomes a trade piece with far more value than just the cost of his expiring contract ... it's going to be very interesting to see what this roster looks like a year from now.

    I take it that you aren't wild about this deal?

    I'm being a smartass! Camby has been great and I'm glad we wrapped him up! It just kinda reminds me of the Theo situation. Just saw him in the lobby.......... shoulda' asked him to buy me lunch!

    This is exactly right. A great "permanent" acquisition for the Blazers, but an epic cock block as well.

    Interesting. Does it mean that an extension for KP is on the way?
