Isola: Marcus Camby in Knicks Plans?

19
Frank Isola of the New York Daily News writes that a return to the New York Knicks could be in Marcus Camby's future. ------------------ The Knicks, according to sources, will make a strong push for Marcus Camby, who 11 years ago played a significant role in helping the Knicks reach the NBA Finals. Walsh has tried for two years to acquire the 7-foot Camby and last month lost out again when the Clippers traded him to Portland. Although Camby turns 36 in two weeks, he still moves well and doesn't need the ball to make an impact. Instead, he is the shot-blocking, rebounding type of center Walsh and Mike D'Antoni covet. "He only has great memories of New York," Camby's agent, Rick Kaplan, said on Friday in Toronto. "But he's having a great time in Portland. He really enjoys that team." ------------------ Link via Hoopshype. Programming note: This weekend's Sloan Sports Analytics Conference exceeded my (sky high) expectations. I tweeted some of the most interesting quotes yesterday, which you can read here. A full feature from the conference coming early this week. Thanks for your patience.
