Most likely the Spurs are looking at Camby as some sort of fallback option. However, it's also possible that the Spurs are shopping Splitter due to the fact that his price tag is going to be so astronomical next offseason. If you move Splitter, a player like Camby is a must.

a site mentions that if he signed for vet minimum then they could still sign Diaw, Maybe Lorbek and still try to trade Blair. Report: Spurs interested in Camby | July |

Camby would actually be a very nice addition. He is a guy I have certainly coveted for the spurs for years. Once again, sad that it only happens when the players at the tail end of his career, but camby can still play and block shots.

Not to mention... rebounds and lots of them when healthy.

for vet min? Sure, I'd take Camby, he can play solid D, rebound and has a solid jumper. Might be as old as my Grandpa but could still give the Spurs a solid 10-12 min a night ![]()

And OKC this year! Unfortunately the game is turning into a younger mans game. We can still be good, but I don't see championships going the old veteran route. |

i'll agree. there's a greater chance in winning with high IQ veterans than guys we're taking chances on with attitudes and then taking a chance on them with their play

Nick Young himself would command the MLE, while Beasley would take up around 3/4 of it most likely and that's still with us needing more pieces to contend (i.e. Lorbek, De Colo, Diaw) because Bonner/Blair aren't gonna cut it as the 4th bigs.

After he went to Houston last season, he averaged 24 minutes with a 19 PER. If we could grab him for the vet min, it would be a steal. He is still worth an MLE if you ask me. Legit big men are just that hard to come by.

It would be no-brainer for veteran minimum. I'm dreaming Camby in Spurs uniform for several years, he can be an excellent complementary piece of our front-court.

He'd be a great addition if it doesnt cost us Lorbek, Diaw and De Colo. we need to rid ourselves of Bonner and Blair for something. Let's go FO!

I would welcome Marcus into the Spurs with open arms. A long defender who can finish and hit a mid range j from time to time. if we could somehow manage to have camby, splitter, lorbek/diaw to rotate with timmay, id be very happy. Im fine keeping either blair or bonner, they both have their uses... but they need to be situational players and one of them needs to go... bonner is a good reg season player, and while that isnt quite as important as hitting a big 3 in the PO, it is still nice to have a guy who can drop 15 points in 15 mins off the bench in a game when our regs might not be lighting it up...

Camby has 8 suitors his price it's going up. Same with howard. |

no Camby has 5 teams he is interested in and all of them are crunched for money. He wants a contender and is at an age I am sure money is not as important and winning a championship. Young and Randolph a very very young and can demand huge contracts. Howard has not done much lately and is older. Camby is very old and won't demand a long contract. |
#22

If Camby just wants a championship then Miami is the obvious destination. Though I believe he is an east coast guy, so maybe that will lure him to Boston or something. Hard to see what the draw would be for him here, though we sure could use him. |
#23

Probably right. The Spurs proved that they are not legitimate contenders, even with the likes of Camby.

#24

I would Guess Miami as well, however he did make a wisecrack about a superstar having to join another one to win a championship a couple of years ago( along with half the league) so that might be the only derailment. I think Camby has always been a very classy type of player, old school. He might like to work under Pop with Tim and not have the circus that is Miami. I could be wrong but he never seemed like the type to prefer a city who has its spotlight on it over a professional type team. |

Josh Howard and Camby have suitors, but that doesn't mean the price is going up. one is inconsistent, one is injury prone. Marcus Camby may be worth the MLE due to his overall skills, but he hasn't stayed healthy in a good long while and that will play a part. a contender won't give him more than the bi-annual exception imo

At this point in his career Camby may be looking beyond the money. Given the way Pop rotates his "senior citizens" from their rockers on the porch, he might be just the ticket as well as helping with the injury prevention. Could also help some of the possible young, incoming bigs. Lots of pluses if he can be had for the right price. Not the greatest fan of his, but he would fill a need and by all accounts neither unbalance the locker room, nor be a minutes problem.

The issue about extending his career by being able to play some reduced minutes and take nightspot because of our depth hopefully will be a factor for him. But we always have to keep in mind that is a lot easier for us to talk about taking 1 million versus say 5 million because you've already made 100 million in your career. It's still $4 million additional per year, and Marcus Camby if he went to the highest bidder, could get it.

I would take Camby in a heartbeat. I wouldn't even trade Blair, I would just cut him. Seriously, The reason Camby has so many suitors is because everyone knows he is signing a Vet Min contract. I think you can sign players to min contracts and go over the cap. . . . but not sure.

i think that's a testament to Camby's personality. with how the Heat played (they flop a lot and then throw elbows like crazy punks), that's never been him. he can push guys around and talk, but it's more of a quiet flash. i think he'll sign for the minimum on a team that shares the ball and where he'll have a key role in the rotation. with Miami going small in the playoffs, he wouldn't get that many minutes.

Camby would be more than a fallback option IMO. Ideally you wouldn't want him to be the only big man you get (obviously we want to make our moves on Diaw, Lorbek, and other possibilities by S&T), but he's a worthwhile target in his own right.
