Camby to the Blazers


So the Clippers have traded the defensive monster Marcus Camby to the Blazers for point guard Steve Blake and small forward Travis Outlaw. As a Clippers fan, I love this trade on multiple levels. For one, Camby is older than the wheel. Yeah he can occasionally have a game with like 20 rebs and a bunch of blocks, but I'm sure those games are followed by days in the hyperbaric chamber and a hip replacement. Plus, the Clippers have a young stud of a center in DeAndre Jordan. Second, I love the addition of Steve Blake. He's an assist machine who will spend his time on the floor setting up Eric Gordon for open threecolas instead of being someone who literally thinks the word team has an I in it (Baron Davis). He's a better than decent backup point guard. Lastly, I've always been a big Travis Outlaw fan. He came out of highschool like 6 years ago has been showing flashes of stardom the whole time. He's hurt right now, but he should be back in a few weeks and should see significant minutes off the bench. The Blazers are a playoff team this year, and with Camby, have a chance to make some noise late in the season. So basically, both teams are winners here. The only loser in this situation is Chad Ford because he starts like 60 fake rumors every day about trades and non of them turn out to be true. This trade was not one of his rumors. I don't know how the guy has a job. I swear, he has connected Amare Stoudemire with almost every single team in the fucking league, but I bet he still finds a way to be wrong about it. He just says every fucking scenario in imaginable so he, in theory, can't be wrong. But he is, and will continue to be, a fag.
