Horrific trade for Denver, they lose their only defensive piece, and will probably allow 115 PPG next year.
I don't blame them, the only teams with cap space were the Grizzlies (who wouldn't spend their money on Camby), and the Clippers, so the Clippers were pretty much able to set the price.
But wow, even if I needed to get rid of salary, I wouldn't have dealt Camby, he's got 2 years left on a decent size contract, that's gonna be a nice trading chip next year for a team looking to bolster their interior defense in the middle of next year.

Yeah... I guess it's something they kind of needed to do, take a step towards fixing their financial situation and all, but management still has dreams of contending for a Title, even though this team will be worse off than that disappointing team from last year. Had they known they would eventually make this move, they should've been smart enough to just start getting themselves in a position to rebuild.
Should've looked to trade Iverson or Melo -- eventually you just have to admit that the direction in which you're going is never going to work.
edit: I guess the idea is to play Nene at the 5, Melo at the 4 spot, Kleiza at small forward, and JR Smith and AI as the guards.
