Marcus Camby (per Houston Chronicle) will meet with Heat on Saturday. He's interested only in the $3 million exception, not vet minimum.
Guessing the backup option if ray decides to stay in Boston?

I heard that Jordan Hill is a backup plan if Ray doesn't sign.
/edit: nvm..
"The Heat also has contacted representation for Lakers center/power forward Jordan Hill and likely would pursue him, among others, if Allen passes on Miami’s offer.

It would make it even more funny if both Allen and Camby go to Boston which I honestly hope because it would make the Heat-Celtics series/games way more competitive.

Not likely unless Camby is obtained through sign and trade with Houston. Celtics already used their MLE and are over the cap with all recent signings.

Ray probably stays in Boston. The only way he took less money is if he was truly done with playing for the Celtics. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Camby would be a nice fit for Miami as well. Not as big of a get as Allen, but he does fill a bigger need.

Be very surprised if Miami didn't get one of ray or camby
If Miami offer camby the mini MLE would he really say no and head back to Houston? Seems he is meeting Knicks next not sure why

The Knicks could only offer near the minimum, right? Didn't they use up most of their mid on Jason Kidd?

Rashard Lewis' meeting w/the Heat is Sunday, not Saturday. Hasn't ruled out anything, but would naturally prefer mid-level. Other suitors.
Miami would be idiots to offer their mini MLE to Lewis.

Read the first article that pops up. You will discover that he is taking the year off to rehab.

Those weren't even real steroids. It was DHEA, slightly ups your testosterone and it's in many supplements and things over the counter.

It's yet to be seen. The Kidd acquisition could still be a sign and trade for scraps. And if it's not, we have un-guaranteed deals, TD and cash to give Houston for a sign and trade.
Is there a chance Miami could land Allen & Camby?
Probably not. Ray gets the 3m and Camby has to obviously accept the min vet which I guess he won't.
And if they do end up getting Allen and Camby they could probably end up by landing Rashard too since he won't get anything above min vet.
Whatever happens they will end up getting Allen or Ray for the 3m + Lewis for min vet.
Sounds good to me since they're basically replacing non contributors in Juwan, Curry and Harris.

Anyway if hes doing this with the Suns training staff, he is likely to return to his former self. Not the dominant C, but at least that 8/7 guy he used to be.

The fact that Allen has not been reported to have agreed to any deal with Miami yet leads me to believe he'll be re-signing with Boston.
It is telling that Ray hasn't been able to commit to either team sooner. I wonder what's going through his mind. Either take more money and play with the team you've been playing on or take less and play for a more stacked team. What else is there to ponder?

Another source says Rockets could be enticed by Heat in sign-and-trade for Camby with draft picks and/or veteran who could mentor young guys

Who is th vet we would like?. Haslem? Miami aint giving him up whatsoever? Plus we have enough PF's as it is. A 1st round pick would be a great trade for us though.

Heat has Philly's 1st next year, and then just include a filler.
Miami is going to trade Joel Anthony and a first round pick for Marus Camby.

How much can the Knicks offer Camby? If they need to do S&T, it wouldn't surprise me if the Rockets tell them to screw off considering how they're going to match Lin's offer.

One thing we do know, Danny Ainge DID try to trade Ray. And he got burned in the end. :confusedshrug:

camby for joel anthony + the pick they got from philadelphia.
So Camby can either choose being a starter for the best team in the league and reserve to nobody or join Knicks and be reserve to Chandler?
Hmm, tough decision. You can either join Miami, great weather and very good chance of getting that ring as a starter or New York, the best damn city in the world where Camby is still appreciated.

Really depends on his priorities...is he that adamant about gettin a ring or more for th money??? With the teams he's narrowed his choices down to, you'd think he cared for the money more.
Anyhoo...put him in the room with Rile's and Mourning, I'm sure they'll sway him to South Beach. :applause:

Miami is a no brainier from a perspective of minutes and playing a larger role/contributing to a potential championship team.
The other major factor is whether the money is an issue.
I just don't see why he wouldn't sign there.
Although things like pride and other unknown personal factors contribute.
Miami should give them Joel Anthony and then replace him with this guy who has exactly the same skill set as Joel. All time shot block leader in college:

Dang. If Miami signs Camby for less than the what others are paying, they are going to be the clear favorites to win again.
Chris Tomasson
Here's how source described what Marcus Camby to go through today in Miami: "He's going to get the Ray Allen treatment.'' The Heat wined and dined Allen during a Thursday visit and the free agent decided the next day to join Miami. Camby is visiting Miami as a free agent. Heat could work out a sign-and-trade deal with the Rockets for Camby.
Don Pat Riley is at it again. The rest of the teams might as well cancel their meetings with Camby. :lol

No true Boston fan faults Danny for exploring his options when they were offered...its Pat and Danny's job to do this. That Ray Allen gets all Lamar Odom about it is unfortunate, but it is what it is. He wants to get whiny about it, that's his business.
But people running around here saying Pat is all about loyalty and family or whatever...complete bullshit. These guys are about winning. Ray Allen at $3 million per season is going to have A LOT of people calling at the trade deadline.
