Clippers Trade for Marcus Camby - Impact
After losing Elton Brand to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Clippers used their available cap space to bring in Marcus Camby. The Denver Nuggets traded Camby to the Clippers for a future second round pick in a move that could end up saving the Nuggets approximately $40 million.
While the Nuggets certainly won’t improve by losing Camby, they do have a lot of bigman depth. Nene, who has shown glimpses in the past of being a very good player, will now likely start at center. Next to Nene will be Kenyon Martin. While Nene and Martin are both injury prone players, when healthy they can form a very formidable frontcourt. In terms of fantasy basketball, Nene is by far the biggest winner on the Nuggets.
The Clippers will use Camby next to Chris Kaman. Since Camby plays away from the basket offensively, there’s a good chance he’ll be listed at power forward and Kaman will be listed as the center. Camby’s skill should translate well to the Clippers. His stats should be similar and may even improve because the Clippers don’t have as many offensive weapons as the Nuggets do. As always, a big key for Camby will be remaining healthy.
