The New Red & Black

Blake and Outlaw for Camby.


Can he still walk?

At least he is younger than Howard. And we need help there. The fact that ESPN has Oden as the backup C is not good. (Nothing against Howard, he has done a great job on and off the court. I loved that we signed him this summer. Both for what he could bring and because I am a Mich fan.)

Camby is the #2 rebounder in the league right now, and still a great shot blocker... I'd say it's an upgrade. Plus we get rid of the one man fast-break killer Steve Blake in the same swoop. I've also heard there is a hand shake agreement that the Blazers will re-sign Outlaw in the summer....

Everyone in the deal has an expiring contract. We need a true center, but just for the rest of this year, so in that respect it looks like a good trade.

Camby is apparently not happy about the trade. I hope this doesn't lead to more chemistry issues.

It seems to me that being traded from the Clippers should make him happy.

His wife loves LA, but he's enough of a pro, he can handle it...

I can deal with a disgruntled center for 5 months; it opens up more minutes for Cunningham, Rudy, Mills and Bayless (We have to be able to figure out what we have on the bench at some point...)

In the "hindsight is 20/20 department", yeah, I think he walks pretty good.
