Los Angeles Clippers trade for Denver Nuggets Marcus Camby to replace Elton Brand
The L.A. Clippers on Tuesday night pulled off a trade to get Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby as their Brand replacement for the very small cost of giving Denver the option to swap second-round picks in 2010, capitalizing on the Nuggets' need to shed salary to create their own financial flexibility.
"We felt like we needed to shake things up and do something a little bit radical to be able to create flexibility going forward," Nuggets vice president of player personnel Rex Chapman said in a conference call. Using the salary-cap space saved for re-signing Elton Brand before his free-agent departure to the Philadelphia 76ers, L.A. was able to absorb Marcus Camby's contract ($10 million for each of the next two seasons) without surrendering anything of consequence, although Denver did create a trade exception worth $10.1 million that expires one year from Tuesday.
