Just How Lopsided was the Camby Trade? (Clips Nation)

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:29:54 GMT

Did the Clippers just pull off a bigger coup than the Lakers did when they acquired Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for Kwame Brown and a retired dude? Maybe. The Clippers were able to land a bonfide defensive presence in Marcus Camby for either a 2nd rd. pick in 2010, or possibly nothing . Wow! Denver fans are understandably upset . The Clippers were not the only team interested, according...

Remember when Memphis had Pau Gasol, Stromile Swift, Bo Outlaw, Lorenzen Wright, Shane Battier, James Posey and Theron Smith all on the roster? Bonzi and Miller were really forwards who were forced into guard roles by the shear number of front line...

Point guards are so June. Power forward is the new point guard. The Clippers suddenly find themselves as the only player in the free agency market. (A quick aside here: How 'bout them Grizzlies? They were so desperate to get rid of Pau Gasol to get some cap space, that they jumped at the Lakers' offer of Kwame Brown and some Universal Studios Hollywood annual passes. And here they sit, the...

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:57:08 GMT

We've got a few more of these to go, lest you think we forgot... The Lakers were already a very good team (25-11) when Andrew Bynum went down with his season ending knee injury, ironically enough against the Grizzlies during a game in which Pau Gasol had 21/18/8. Perhaps that was the image Mitch Kupchak had in his head when he swung the Feb. 1 deal that brought the scruffy Spaniard to LA. Whatever...
