So you'd trade Jordan Hill for Marcus Camby then.

Because the Clippers wanted something of value in terms of a young players in return. They got a nice backup PG in Blake and a nice young player in Outlaw for aging Camby. We don't have any contracts we can match besides Darko (who nobody would want) and either Toney Douglas or Hill would have to be traded.

I'd rather trade Hill and rid of Jeffries. At least that accomplishes something.

Outlaw is out fo rthe year with season ending surgery...he's on an expiring deal as well so I dunno how he helps them....Blake is gonna be Baron Davis back-up....So the Clippers basically give up Camby for absolutely nothing...so saying the Clippers wanted young valuable players is invalid....

The Clippers basically put the Blazers back in the playoff hunt and further ****ed themselves. Maybe they are expecting to see their #1 pick come back from his own injury soon...but come on son....if they were going to give him away for expirings then they should have traded him to the Bucks or maybe the Knicks for Ridinour or Duhon and a filler. same **** in my opinion, just not helping a rival...

Clippers are the worst run franchise ever.

Camby is 35 years old. The Clippers suck and are going nowhere. Camby isn't need there. The future is Kaman and Blake Griffin as the front court. I have no doubt they'll probably re-sign Outlaw in the summer though.

They could sign him anyway if they wanted...so it makes no sense regardless of how old Camby is. They gave away a starting nba center/pf that still can put up huge rebounding and block shot number...plus run the floor, pass and finish. It's a pathetic trade for the Clipps...

BTW...since Kaman is an all-star and a damn good center....when are they gonna flip DeAndre Jordan??? That kid is ready to start as well. Like I said....the Clipps are the worst run franchise ever.

Only after Dolan will drop dead....

Yes, I agree. The Clips could have gotten a great deal from us. We blew it yet again.

We could have traded Jeffries + Hill for Camby. Salaries check.
If you are the Clippers, you do this deal - get a #8 pick for an expiring 35 year old player. And we wouldn't need to throw in any first round picks.

"if you are the clippers you do this deal"? yeah, if you're the clippers. otherwise, it's a straight up retared move to trade for jordan hill when you just drafted blake griffin. the clippers have no use for jeffries or his contract either.

if you think jared is that easy to trade, that all it takes is pairing him up with hill, then i think you need to give some of that grass that you're lighting up.

Jeffries contract is an expiring next year. He isn't an albatros to absorb when you get a great draft pick rookie. And all you are giving up is a 35 yr old expiring contract of someone you won't sign next year. I still say...that would have been a great deal for the Clips. And if we had to, we could give back the Clips 2nd round pick which we got from Denver in the Balkman trade.

clipps are going nowhere and they can now play Dandre jordan more, like they should and wait for blake griffin next year... Not bad at all..

they could have accomplished that without giving up Camby this season... both Outlaw & Blake would have been FA's... the only reason for them to make this deal would be to acquire their Bird Rights, but really i can't imagine either of them getting anything above a MLE contract anyway... just doesn't make any sense to me w/o them getting back some kind of other asset, be it a pick or cash or whatever... they just gave them a Camby rental for a Blake & Outlaw rental pretty much... to me that's not an equitable trade off.
