Indy is probably going to take one of camby or kaman once they decline matching hibbert's contract. I'm down for a defensive center with a little offensive game and a 10-12 mil contract.

Looks like Pacers will match Blazers's offer.

Don't trade him. Let him suffer. If he walks next summer he will take less money which is not good business for him or his agent. Also, his options will be limited. If he will refuse to play he will look even more as an ..s than now if that's possible.
We have nothing to loose. We will suck long if we trade and we will suck long if he walks. Mediocracy is the worst case scenario. So don't do those deals. If he walks we will rebuild organically through sucking and drafting and only then signing FA.
Now, if he's stuck with us until after 2012-2013, he is looking at limited options at where to go, looking at less money if he signs somewhere else and looking to walk away from an opportunity to play for a good team here in Orlando (cutting salaries starting now and getting cap for next year to sign 2 great players).
Make it difficult for him. He made it difficult for us. We can force him to a situation where his best option will be to resign here and the clown that he is he will be all smiles and happy to be here.
This year play and develop young guys + D12, BBD. Sit Turk, trade JRich, QRich. Let Anderson walk, resign JJ if contract is reasonable.
Just tell D12 he will not be traded because in 2013 free agency we will be his best option.
To those who will say what about Shaq situation in 1996 I would answer we came back and we came back strong it just that the road we took was wrong one, we were mediocre for a long time. And those proposed trades will do just that.
So in summary:
1. Don't trade him. We will be his best option to resign.
2. If he walks: we will rebuild through draft and FA
3. Mediocracy is not the answer. It's painful and it's long

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Despite Dwight Howard's desire to go to Brooklyn, there's currently no Nets deal that interests Orlando, according to source. Story up soon.

yeah, but why would camby at 38 come here for the MLE when he can go and win a ring in miami for the MLE? and kaman is getting at least 10 million a year for at least 3 years.

I may be wrong, but that time has passed. Many teams probably already offered and he chose Portland.

pretty sure Camby will go to houston where he has a home. i wouldnt mind something like that but Camby wants to be a starter wherever he goes.
