Travis Heath from Hoopsworld reports:
A source with knowledge of the situation has told HOOPSWORLD the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are discussing a deal which would send center Marcus Camby to the west coast.
With Elton Brand departing for Philadelphia, the Clippers have around $12 million to spend this summer. Since LA is under the salary cap, the Clippers could absorb Camby's salary without giving Denver anything in return. However, it is expected that if a deal is consummated, the Nuggets would get at least one draft pick in return.
For the Clippers, the deal would give the team a formidable frontline of Chris Kaman and Camby to complement the backcourt play of Baron Davis and rookie Eric Gordon.
The deal would help lessen the Nuggets' payroll and give the team more financial flexibility moving forward. The 34-year-old Camby is due to make $8 million this season and $7.65 million in the final year of his deal in 2009-10.
The Clippers reportedly had dialogue this weekend about acquiring Zach Randolph from the New York Knicks in a deal that would have accomplished a similar goal for the Knicks.
The source emphasized that no deal has been completed as of yet. Stay tuned to HOOPSWORLD for the latest. |

| I hope their numbers are accurate as far as 8 million and 7.65 million, cuz he's worth it for that much. Other sites have him listed as 10 million and above, which is not even close to his value |

| camby is pretty good. but, he is just a little old =/ i'd still rather get josh smith or okafor because they are young, which means they have room to grow, which means it would look better for the clippers in the future |

I think it was OUR TheHonoraryFan (member of this board) that spoke to Travis.
Here is what THF said on another thread:

Guys, done deal. Camby is a Clipper. Check for announcement later this evening. He and Kaman should compliment each other both offensive and defensive end.
Quote:
The sign and trade is just a speculation more on my part and my source, but the Camby to Clippers is 90% legit I'd say. I just spoke to a Hoopsworld source over the phone who has very close ties with Denver and he heard it too. Look for something on Clippers.com/ESPN/etc.. around 5-6PM (pacific time).
Travis had his article posted @ By: Travis Heath Last Updated: 7/15/08 5:58 PM ET
Thehonoraryfan had his post at 5:46 . Looks like Travis's source is our guy. |

| Wow- this is going to be interesting. It sounds like it could be just for a draft pick, so we could be taking up the $8 mil, which would leave us very little room for much else. I've always liked Camby's defense and rebounding, and he can nail the outside shot too. |

| I like this move a lot, esp. since we only had to give up a 2nd round pick. What a steal. Though now we only have like $4 or $5 mil left to spend. |

For only a second rounder! Now we just need a backup 2/3 and we're set.
Great call, thehonoraryfan! |

| He played PF in NY next to Kurt Thomas. I think he actually came into the league as a PF. |

| Our interior defense is going to be REALLY good. I remember last season when Kaman was injured, people just waltzed into the lane making layups and dunks on us. This is going to change things. Camby and Kaman are both mobile enough to guard some of those big tall PFs out there. |

Good question- my guess is depends on the matchup, though both are equally adept defensively. Maybe Camby is a tad quicker, so maybe he'll get the nod at PF most of the time. |

| Use the rest of our money to re-sign the rest of our squad I guess. Still haven't signed Taylor or Jordan. And we still have Ross, Nick, and Marcus available to pick from. |

This will be REAL interesting. Our front court barring Clipper Luck is real solid Kaman, Camby, Thomas, DAVIS maybe and POWELL
We again need a guard. Should we go after Q? Will Falk try to screw us (and his client)? |
