I just read about the Marcus Camby garage sale. Here is an email I immediately sent to a few friends...
Um. So. The Nuggets have OFFICIALLY given up. Tell me if I'm wrong, but trading Marcus Camby for the POSSIBILITY of SWAPPING second round picks in 2010 to the Clippers, just seems like they don't give a shit any more. I can't even joke about it. No, I can. That's like trading Jon Miller straight up for Carlos Boozer, and then telling your fan base in Utah that they had to do it because they needed financial flexibility. It leaves everyone thinking, "but for Jon Miller? Really? That's all we could get?" I mean, could the Ughs really not get ANYBODY for him? not even a smush parker? how bout a JR Rider? Shit, trade him for a pack of cigarettes. You just traded your only defensive player for the possibility to SWAPPPPPPPPPP second round picks in 2010. Un Real. I love it.

Mark Warkensuck is really doing a number on those Nugs up there. And FYI, Jon Miller is a friend of mine who never played organized basketball past Middle School. But he is a lawyer. So at least they'd have that going for them in Denver...

Once again, Whitsitt's exalted protege destroys yet another team. Kevin, if we joined forces to run a basketball team, even though we have no formal business and sports management training at all, we would still be in the top half of GMs in the league, right? I can't see how this wouldn't work out. All we would have to do is to avoid major catastrophic earth-shatteringly bad trades and signings, and we would be considered successes, right? I can't think of an easier job on the planet than a general manager of an NBA basketball team.
Agreed, and the fact that Elgin Baylor was involved in such a pilfering makes it even more hilarous. Of course, Camby is overrated, even on defense, but that is another debate.
