He is getting paid by the Nuggets still, 4mil next year.

I think he signs here for vet min...

This kind of makes me nervous...I have not read anything about other teams reaching out to him offering him more than the MK , but who knows. Zaza got paid 15.6/3 yrs. Would not surprise me at all if someone overpaid Bird to snatch him away from us. But who knows, maybe he stays. It is just kind of disturbing that it has taken him this long to say something...obviously he has gotten some lucrative deals from other teams.

I heard Birdman got offers from other teams, but I haven't heard how much teams have offered him.

Birdman is 35 though, so it can't be that much money. But he definitely has gotten higher offers, because the Heat are trying to get him back for the vet min.

Hickson to the Nuggs for 15/3

He chooses 5 million from the Nugs over 3.1 million tax free from the Heat potentially?

He would be a fool if he didn't.

The Heat are interested in trading for Marcus Camby if they fail to resign the Birdman.

that guy seriously just lurks twitter and posts anything from any NBA journalist/beat account with any "sources" ... so I would really take that Camby stuff with a grain of salt lol

Wouldn't hurt to get Camby but he won't have the same impact on the game that Birdman had.

We're not trading for Camby if we're planning on him being bought out.

Zaza is also 5.5 years younger than the Birdman.

Yeah, and Zaza didn't go 4 months as a FA without being picked up by anyone

Yeah. True that. It wouldn't hurt, but along the way, Camby is bound to get hurt anyway :lol:

Dont want any part of Camby. Nope. No way

LikeABosh · Post #734 » by **LikeABosh** » Mon Jul 8, 2013 12:56 am

Why? Because he wanted to be traded to the knicks? All the more reason I want him. It would be straight up comedy for the knicks to trade him away for bargnani only to have him eventually end up being a solid contributor for us

What do you mean because he wanted to be traded to the Knicks? He chose to sign with the Knicks.

Besides, I remember 70% of posters here having a conniption when we added Juwan to the end of the bench last year. Now we're saying a 40 year old Camby is going to be a solid contributor? Like I said.. No thanks

He was traded. NYK didn't sign him outright

Camby appeared to be narrowing his choices down to the Knicks, Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets. But after he postponed a meeting with the Heat on Saturday because they used their midlevel exception on Ray Allen, the Knicks were in the lead. The Nets had only a conference call with Camby, while the Knicks had a face-to-face meeting with him in Houston on Sunday, which a source close to the situation said was "very positive."

like I said, he chose NY. The Rockets didnt just magically decide to trade him there

Wow, you're really gonna waste your time and argue about this? He chose to be traded to the knicks. That's all there is to it

"Didn't just magically decide to trade him" No ****

Well at least you changed the topic. I've been wanting to discuss how I'm emotionally damaged for awhile now
