w/Blake Griffin coming into the fold, they have a glut of frontcourt players w/Kaman, Camby, Zach & Jordan over there... they'll probably be looking to trade Zach & Camby this offseason.

why not offer up Q Rich & DEN's 2nd rounder next year for Camby? both players have an expiring & LAC got Camby for a 2nd rounder to begin with so it's not so farfetched to think they'd trade him away for one now, even if it is later on in the 2nd round... Q's played for them before & he'd be an upgrade over Steve Novak as a backup wing player... we could really use Camby's shotblocking ability & his rebounding will easily replace D Lee's loss in case he's traded or signs w/another team in the offseason... or he would make a perfect frontcourt mate to D Lee in case the Knicks decide to hold onto him to start the season... seems to be a good fit for all parties involved to me.

To be honest TMS, I don't think they are going to be interested in trading camby.. I've been reading their trying to send Kaman to Chicago for someone like Hinrich. Camby has the best contract of the 3 and I don't think they are going to give him up.

The Knicks should look into it. I'd let Nate go for Camby.

i was thinking of that too but Camby's contract is valued higher than what Nate's likely to get in any S&T... we'd have to throw in Chandler or Gallo to even out the dollars & obviously that's not something i'd be looking to do... we could possibly work it as part of a larger package, but LAC's don't have any other contracts that would appeal to us.

if i were them i'd wanna hold onto Kaman, especially now that they're gonna get their franchise guy in Griffin to pair him up w/in the frontcourt... Kaman averaged 16 p / 13 r / 3 b as a starter a year ago & he's only 27... his contract is very reasonable for that level of production... Jordan is still a project at this point & i would wanna keep developing him behind Chris Kaman for the next couple years.

How old is Camby for goodness sakes? He was on the Knicks in the 90's--he's going to drop off the cliff fast here.

do u really give a crap if we lose Q Rich & DEN's 2nd rounder next year for a guy who can average a double double & be a shotblocking intimidator for you next season regardless of how old he is?

I hear what you are saying but what is the use at this point? 1 year?

Donnie Walsh says he wants to make the playoffs and that sounds like a playoff push move to me. I could see that happening after the draft. Camby doesn't like it there and wouldn't mind coming back to NY. He will breakdown for sure. Not sure if Nate would be onboard though.

I don't mind but you would basically have to change the composition of your frontcourt the very next year. Q Rich also make 2.3mm more than Camby--that could have effect on their cap depending on what the numbers are.

we can take back Mardy Collins in the package & throw in some cash considerations or a future 2nd rounder... i think it's a worthwhile move to make.

Balkman's trade exception is there too.

still not enough.

would you trade #8 for deandre jordan?

if Derozan's off the board, yes.

next year he would make no impact on the Knick's record.

completely disagree w/u there... we would have won at least 5-10 more games this year if we had a shotblocking intimidator like Camby in the frontcourt... how many easy layups did guys get at the rim w/D Lee & his jazz hands patrolling the paint?
