Sign & trade Tony, Powe (or Perk) and our 2008 1st for Camby?

Why would we want a long-in-the-tooth Mr. Glass? Yes, he's a good defender, but no thanks!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Is the season over? Because I have seen all these trade ideas, it seems like we just got eliminated. Last time I checked game 6 is tonight.

Anyway, I don't like this trade. We have enough vets, I want to get younger, keep powe, keep ta, and keep that first, because the first, even late in the first round, could turn out to be a good player. It has in the past.

Ainge has done a great job unearthing players outside the lottery. We should hold those picks and get our next Rondo/Powe/Gomes.

I don't think Camby is a good compliment to KG. I think KG needs a big strong center who can hold his own in the paint. Camby can block shots, but he is lean, like KG and gets pushed around in the post. No thanks. How about Shaq? :lol: I know we'd never get him because of his contract, but he'd fit the C's better than the Suns.

I would actually not be surprised to see Shaq play for us in a year or two. Maybe signing part way through the year. Playing a small role until the playoffs. I mean I wouldn't say it is more then a 10% chance but it'd kind of be cool.

What's the incentive for denver to make this trade? They are already a horrible defensive team, and if they lose Camby, they might be the worst defensive team in the L.

We have zero chance of trading for Camby. We might be able to sign him as a free agent when his contract is up in two years if he doesn't retire. Denver is looking to upgrade and needs to get much better they want a star and will combo Camby a pick or two and others for a single better player than Marcus after this sweep by the Lakers.

Apparently people don't remember or know what it is like to be in the playoffs.

If we could get Camby without trading perk we absolutly should, leon and our fisrt might be enough I would do that trade in a heartbeat. Camby is exactly what we are missing, a Perk, Camby KG, Baby front line would have pretty much everything.

(Jim mora, with a twist) offseason? dont talk about offseason. are you kidding me? offseason?

last i checked we are still in the playoffs with a huge close out game tonight.

but i wouldnt want to trade powe for camby straight up. camby is a bad fit for this team.
