Trib reports Bulls trying to get Camby
[From the Diaries. I have a mega-post waiting in the bullpen, which I'll post in the morning. Till then we can go back to the trade machine. It's past midnight on the East coast and they still haven't lifted the 12/15 trade restrictions for recently signed Free Agents. What the hell, ESPN.com?!? -Matt]
Tonight the Trib is reporting that the Bulls offered PJ Brown to Denver for Marcus Camby as part of a 3 way Philly-Denver-Chicago Iverson deal. Now, does KJ Johnson expain the rest of the deal? No. But I'll try. :) One possible deal would be this. Or, Denver could sweeten the pot a little for Philly with this. I'd assume that some draft picks would be included as well.
Personally, I think Camby's awesome...for 60 games a year. The length of his remaining contract matches Ben Wallace's deal as he's signed through the 2009/10 season and has $23.6 million still coming to him. Camby's only played more than 66 games ONCE in his ten year career. Seeing as he hasn't missed a game yet this year, his annual injury is probably right around the corner.
*Update* - Since I first posted this diary, the story was pulled off the Trib's website. Coincidentally, David Aldridge just reported a similar potential trade during the Spurs-Hornets game on TNT. Even though the Trib pulled their story, You can still Google "Bulls Camby" and see part of the remaining article "Bulls Fish for Camby" [The original link is back up. -Matt]

I just made an update in the diary
It doesn't matter to me
Seems like Philly would want more than just that, like a young guard that can shoot.

That makes sense
The more I look at this new deal, the more I like it for each team.
I like it because

David Aldrige just reported the same thing on TNT
Figures they'd go for more defense, haha.
Makes you wonder about something else: Maybe Brown's injury has him missing games to preserve trade value?

I'm down,
However, do you think this would hurt Deng/Chapu's production if there are less minutes to go around since Chapu might not start. I think that may be a problem, but what can you do.

If Camby started at PF
by Colossus @ Blog a Bull on Dec 14, 2006 10:45 PM CST up reply actions
Take the minutes from Sweets!
it doesn't have to limit Noc too much
what it means is no Malik / Krappy / Sweets time and probably less Ty2 for now
Hinrich/Thabo
Duhon/Gordon
Deng/Noc
Wallace/Noc
Camby/Wallace
If they can get Brown for Camby seems like a steal as far as just those 2 players production IF IF Camby is healthy for playoffs

agree
Wallace and Camby would be awesome rebounding duo and game changing D at rim.

They didn't lose Nene
that's why I call shenannigans

remember
Note: I personally doubt this trade is anything more than someone trying to raise the A.I. stakes, but Karl is still wacko.

Who would wana trade Camby for PJ Brown?
by JoeJoe on Dec 14, 2006 11:16 PM CST reply actions
camby
I just updated the main post
Am I...
This also rules out the future use of PJ Brown as an expiring contract in a possible blockbuster deal. As I see it, this deal would merely handcuff future salary cap and trade flexibility for a decent (but unspectacular) big man.
Someone, please set me straight.

Good Work Jobu
Brown for Camby is a big "I guess" as far as my own personal stamp of approval goes. Has anyone mentioned he's hurt like all the time yet?

I spoke too soon

Don't Mind
Camby is certainly a Skiles-type defender and a nice piece to complement Ben. If the deal doesn't happen though, I won't be disappointed that we lost out on a 32 YO undersized center with no offensive potential and more flashes of brilliance in his career than health. Look, I've already talked myself out of it! All in one post.
Sweet.
these discussions get me stoked . . . .
Let's just trade P.J. Brown for a gaggle of mini-Ditkas and be done with it.

Brown & Camby
One thing that I cannot believe is that nobody has brought up the fact that if we still had JR on our team we would hold a lot more chips right now. Oh well, it is in the past.
With all the trade talk, it is crazy looking around the league and seeing all the bad contracts.

I agree
Denver only does this deal if it's part of a 3-way for AI. Does the trade work if the Bulls send Krapaya (not going to look up the spelling)? He'd get minutes on a Camby-less Denver team.

I really just want
Of course, once Iverson is dealt it'll start all the KG to the Bulls rumors again.
