very very very unsubstantiated rumor

I love these types of rumors so I'll repost something here that I just read on Celticsblog. Just looking at the numbers, Camby makes 8 mil this year so Scal at 3,200,000 and other player(s) would have to be involved plus sweeteners for the Clips.:

"Hey guys

I was at the NBA All Star Jam Session in Phoenix on Thursday and had the opportunity to meet Jo Jo White, who was signing autographs there. Being one of the only Celtics fans there, Jo Jo was extremely excited to give me an autograph. While he was signing my autograph, I asked him if Danny was working on anything to help our bench. He said that the Celts were working on a few things....and he'd find out in 2 days. I asked him if it was feasible that Antoine would come back, and he said Danny wouldn't let that happen. He said that Stephon Marbury is more than likely coming. After saying Stephon's name...he leaned in and said Danny is working on getting Camby too...and then he winked.

I know we hear rumors all the time, and I'm sure that many of you will think I'm just making stuff up. But this is what I was told...we'l see what happens."

I spoke to Shaq at the ASG....he said he would luv to come to Boston...but only if he was called the "BIG SHAMROCK"

I think this is how rumours start!!!

I'm by no means vouching for any rumors, but you're going to see some crazy things happen in the next few days like the New Orleans/OKC trade. There are so many owners is financial trouble that teams unafraid to add salary can get some lopsided deals. So if the Celtics give the Clips a 25% salary savings plus extra cash and benefits, deals like this are plausible in this bizarre economic situation.

theyd have to trade at least 4 people for camby if you didnt trade away any of the starting 5, just to make the numbers work.

Gant · Post #7 » by **Gant** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:03 am

Tony Allen and Scal and anyone else is enough salarywise.

Avalanche · Post #8 » by **Avalanche** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:05 am

Cambys also expiring, Scal (who would have to be included) is not...

right. but why would we do a 4 for 1 deal right now? specially if we just traded away sam?

I'm all for it. Camby would be awesome, I just dont see it possible.

If we could get Camby, DA would be a god.

Gant · Post #11 » by **Gant** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:08 am

Camby has this year and next left.

You would only be giving up one or two rotation players not four, especially since Tony Allen can't be considered a current rotation guy now that he's injured.

Avalanche · Post #12 » by **Avalanche** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:08 am

Can we trade Tony with a long term injury?

Ed Pinkney · Post #13 » by **Ed Pinkney** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:09 am

Donald Sterling is known for being cheap, that is the only reason I could see this happening. As has been said, it would be nice however unlikely it would be.

Would Camby be happy coming off the bench?

Avalanche · Post #14 » by **Avalanche** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:11 am

Just looking at the trade checker... i dont think a deal is even possible

FakeScreenName123 · Post #15 » by **FakeScreenName123** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:11 am

You start Marcus Camby.

Andrew McCeltic · Post #16 » by **Andrew McCeltic** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:14 am

I guess in theory you could trade Scal, TA, Giddens, Walker, O'Bryant and Pruitt for Camby. We'd have to bring in Marbury and pull a small forward out of thin air.

Thats the only thing the celtics could do, and even then theyd prolly have to throw in a first. Plus then the clippers would have to waive people on their team right now to take in all these players, thus costing them more money outright.

Chris Kaman is someone that makes more sense moneywise for both teams. but thats meh and not camby.

Only way I could see Sterling doing this is because they want to make sure their cross-town rivals don't get another championship.

I hope it's true, but I remember reading a Jojo White rumor a few years back that said Danny was going to pursue Al Harrington.
