Camby 'Insulted' by trade

[Darius Ali]

He isnt making 16 mill. He makes 8. Next year he makes 7.5

[KobeBryant_24]

Because he is old lol

[Darius Ali]

He is old yes. Im just saying, its not like he has some long term deal. Its two damn years. 8 mill is nice deal for 13 rbs and 3 blks.

[deluxbucs]

not when he is the reson you are over the luxuary tax whjich cost you dollar for dollar, thus camby would have made 16 on the cap and would hvae cost 16 mill. Yes Camby doesnt make 16 mill but his salary number would be 16 against the cap due to them being over the lux.

[Darius Ali]

I suppose. Im just thinking that they save some cash, but are now a much worse basketball team. They already couldnt play D. They barely made the 8 seed. They may not even make the playoffs this season.

[?QuestionMark?]

Camby actually makes 10 million...so it's costing Denver 20 million to keep him, plus 21 million next year. Makes little sense to have such a high payroll for a team that can't get past the first round.

Denver is in the worst position you can be in (beside the Knicks during the Isiah era). They're spending a lot of money but they're not contending, but they also not bad enough that they're getting high draft picks

The goal ultimately is to win a ring, not just make the playoffs. Even with Camby, Denver is nowhere close to contending. So this is just step one in the rebuilding proccess.

[Darius Ali]

No, he doest not make 10 million. Go to hoophype.com and look at the salaries link.

[?QuestionMark?]

Hoopshype is wrong.

http://www.storytellerscontracts.inf...08salaries.htm

That lists him at 10 million and so doe ESPN.

Hoopshype is 100% accurate. They update things asap. I've been using them for years.

yes but there are other things that the other site bring into play....he makes 8 mil base....plus bonuses and incentives...which would bring it up to 10

It's not.

They often have inaccurate information. They have Devin Harris as an expiring contract but he signed an extention last year for 5 years. They also have Jeff Foster as having a player option when it's guaranteed...no option. There's more but those are the two that come to mind.

They may update it quicker than anyone else. Fine. That doesn't make them the most accurate.

And another website lists Camby making 10 million

it may be true that he's not longer worth the money he's making, BUT a lot of players don't get paid the money they're worth until they get a contract extension or become a free agent... this is true along every sport...
