No team in their right mind is going to give us something good unless its a team that is really, really pushing for an NBA title, or is in desperate need for cap space. Which rules out a large majority of NBA teams. I think honestly outside of San Antonio and a small amount of other contending teams would part with anything outside of a prospect, like Dejuan Blair and thats a maybe. Maybe if Shaq and/or Big Z goes down we could get JJ Hickson from Cleveland. Maybe a 2nd rounder at best but why get a late 2nd rounder?
So that leaves us with a team looking for cap space in 2010, just like us. We may not be advertising it but I think we are looking to hold onto Camby because of that big expiring contract he has. So we would be looking at attempting to make a deal with Memphis again, New JErsey, Miami, Toronto or New York. Our best bet would be to try to get Danillio Gallinari from New York or trying to get Courtney Lee & Rafer Alston from New Jersey, maybe Chris Douglas Roberts. However all those guys minus Rafer are building blocks to help lure in Bosh, Amare, Lebron or D Wade into their organization.
I think we as fans are loving the moves we've been making and the NBA buzz around our team with out recent movements and trades is getting bigger and its getting fans and the media overly excited in thinking we would part with CAmby, Kaman or even Jordan. But if we keep losing or a deal looks good it might be time to stop thinking 2010 and thinking more of a right now situation, or a decision where we bring in more youth for the movement. I'd love to see if we could move Camby to Chicago for Tyrus Thomas, he's good at defense and is really improving his game. |

I think we should try to move Camby and Davis at the deadline, if we are as far out of it as I think we will be.
I really thought that Baron just had a bad year last year, but it looks to me like he's just a declining NBA player. He shows some occasional flashes of the old Baron, but he's really a shell of his former self. This guy was a consistent 20ppg player, he's really fallen off big time... |

Just shows you can't get fat, lose weight, get fat, lose weight and hope to have longevity as a basketball player. It catches up with you as it appears it's caught up with Baron... Given his salary, which was about $850,000 per victory last year, the chances of moving him are slim and none... Our best chance to move him would be to wait for him to start playing really well (if it ever happens) and then dump his salary on anyone who will take it for whatever they will give us.
Baron has some value, but not 15-million worth. Not even close. That's why older players seldom get more than a two-year contract... When their skills start deteriorating, they go fast. |

| I'd rather keep the capsace to be honest with you. I'd use that money for a better free agent on themarket. Although, we have to think we acquired Camby for a second rounder in the frst place. |

It's not so much about the 4 games, it's just that this team is not very good. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to watch these games and see that this team isn't a whole lot better than it was last year...
Now they may get things turned around, but whether they do or not, Camby's contract is going to expire, and if we are out of it, then it will be better to get something for him. As for Baron Davis, he's had last season and this season to turn himself around. The guy is a shell of his former self, and nobody can deny that...
All it takes is one game to keep a team out of the playoffs. Never underestimate the importance of one game, and the importance of getting off to a good start. Losing becomes contagious, and we've already shown that we can find a multitude of ways to lose basketball games... |

| We need a 4th quarter finisher, but we will only be able to get a good role player or a pick for Camby. |

Marcus is a great player but if we could get something good in return...We should do it
As far as trading Baron I say No because he's a perfect compliment to our team |

| Let's not trade one of the few players who have been doing well for us in these last 4 games consistently. |
