    We have one of the highest payrolls in the league next year and have Batum, Felton, Wallace all due for new contracts next season as well as Oden getting a deal himself. I'd be intrigued by trading Camby for Biedrens; but if we are only getting a backup will Paul Allen be willing to pay that much money? We would likely end up at the $100 million payroll level Paul regretted in the 2000 era.

    The only reason we have the Camby chip is that Allen overpaid him. Many teams wanted him, but not at $9M per. Allen's cash enables these trades.
