ESPN - Nuggets trade Camby to Clippers for second-round pick
The Los Angeles Clippers, exactly one week after finding out they had lost their face of the franchise, have rebounded with a significant trade acquisition.
The Clippers on Tuesday acquired Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby as their replacement for Elton Brand.
The Clippers will only have to surrender a future second-round pick to acquire Camby, who is being jettisoned into the Clippers' salary-cap space vacated by Brand to generate payroll relief for the Nuggets.
"I love this acquisition for the current makeup of our team," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "We are getting a consummate pro who is maybe the best team defender in the league and who has 60 playoff games under his belt."
I suddenly feel really good about this team. They still might not make the playoffs, since Camby couldn't make anything happen in Denver, even with 'Melo and Iverson, but it feels good to know the Clippers aren't wallowing in self-pity after Brand left them high and dry. And rebound they did, because getting an All-Star for a second-round pick is a freakin' STEAL!

So now, do the Clippers still go after Igouodala? Are they really interested in him or is this a way of burning back the 76'ers for the whole Elton Brand fiasco? | BigDaddyLoco

The Clippers now have quite the injury prone lineup now though. | Broncolanche

Please. Nene broke out two seasons ago but had an unfortunate setback dealing with cancer last year. If he can regain his 2006-07 form then this won't hurt the Nuggets.
Back then it seemed like they overpaid for him, but again, if he regains his form, it's a gamble that will pay off.

Kaman, Davis, and now Camby? The Clipps are looking pretty good right now. Should be interesting to see what else they do this summer, but Camby's addition only leaves them $2mil under the salary cap so probably not anything too big.
WTF is that SMELL??? |
