So the Los Angeles Clippers get Marcus Camby [ESPN]. Whoopty doo.
I don’t mean to get down on the Clippers, I really don’t, but trading for Camby represents what that team is all about.
They wanted to re-sign one of the most consistent players in the league in Elton Brand. They wanted to sign one of the biggest up and comers in the game in Josh Smith. They wanted to make a swap with New York for a big overweight head case in Zack Randolph. And after all that, the poor fools end up with Marcus Camby and his bloated contract.
Listen, I liked Camby when he was balling with the Knicks in the early years. He also seems like a great teammate to have. That said, the guy is an injury prone, offensively limited, defensively overrated, waste of cap space. And yes, I said defensively overrated.
Couldn't let the world go without my honest and reasonable look on the Lakers. I'm a true blue Laker fan, but I'm pretty realistic about it as opposed to some of the other crazies running around. Now when I first wrote this profile I wrote that I wanted to speak on all sports...forg et that. I'm here for one reason and one reason only, to talk about hoops. Insult my Lakers and you'll feel my wrath, talk outta your BLEEP about my team and I'll call you on it. Oh and I hate bandwagon fans who quit on the Lakers cuz Kobe wants to leave so if you're one of those, I don't like you. Lakers are gonna be 81-1 in 2034. Heard it here first.
