Blazers trade for Camby
The Portland Trailblazers have traded point guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw to the Los Angeles Clippers for center Marcus Camby.
It’s an interesting deal that helps accomplish a couple of different things for the injury-riddled Blazers.
For one, the team finally finds a center to play solid defense and grab a bunch of rebounds. He was averaging 7.7 points and 12 rebounds per game with Los Angeles.
The deal also finally settles down the ever-crowded point guard situation with the Blazers.
Andre Miller will no longer be looking over his shoulder waiting for Blake to come take his spot, and Jeryd Bayless will get more playing time.
