Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo 3h
The Raptors are expected to buy out newcomer C Marcus Camby on the final 2 years of contract soon, a source told Y! LAC, CHI, HOU interested
Solace @ 7/16/2013 10:21 PM
Doesn't matter, we can't sign him due to that stupid rule about not being able to sign a player for a year if you trade him and he's released.

However, I suppose we can pick up Jorts soon?

Not sure what is going on with Jorts. This move is not getting the typical Masai love treatment this board typical gives out when he does something.

"Masai-noia" has yet to manifest itself!

He is GM of the Craptors. Nobody cares what he does now.

Hilarious coming from a guy who holds the pom poms for a mediocre GM like Grunwald and refuses
To admit his faults. You're right, let's praise a mediocre GM who has the team out of championship contention or a GM who will successfully rebuild not one but two franchises.

I believe Camby still could contribute at a high level, he just never got out of Woodson's "dog house"
It didn't help him that he had planter fasciltes and the calf injury but it was not the reason he did not play for us the entire season

Many people here believe he was injured the whole time and that was the reason why he did not play
Calling him trash, is not fair to Camby, he just never got to chance to play
If he had played 20-28 minutes a game, I believe he would have out performed Chandler who's DEF and DEFENSIVE EFFORT dropped significantly last season compared to his 1st season as a Knick

I don't believe that at all, Camby was still performing at a high level prior to us trading for him with multiple 20rebound games with 6-8pts, 2-3 blocks, 1-2 steals

Well, now he wants to stick it back at us for trading him twice and for NOT giving him a chance when he kept his mouth shut and waited patiently as a vet for his number to be called
He played a role with Wallace in the development of Copeland
Both Martin and Camby were both our best 2 mobile PF/C's and shot blockers that were never utilized together
Now he is looking forward to showing what he COULD HAVE DONE as a Knick

Sorry, man, I have to give Woodson the benefit of the doubt here. If the guy was going to contribute Woodson would have played him. Woodson played every other vet that could get off the bench. I have to believe that he lost Woodson's confidence after sitting on the bench injured all year. What kind of shape was he even in?

I am of the same opinion. There were a couple of games where Camby did play and he commited some awful foul in the closing minutes of a half and then compounded it with an untimely technical (super, overly complaining to the refs). Something a vet like should not EVER do.

he looked really happy to chill on the bench, waive his towel and dine at all his fav spots from the old days. 1999 was fun Marcus... thanks for the memories

He was traded just before Summer League last season, so I guess if there was any motions about getting him back, we would have heard something by now. I liked Jorts.

^Thanks, I was about to ask where he was playing. Pretty sure guys playing in China are locked in until the season ends. Wouldn't be opposed to them getting him back once he's free.

Chicago interested in adding Camby for depth
Think he would be a great fit there
