And they're in third place in the west!!Funniest thing was how they said they wanted to get better defensively... and then got rid of Marcus Camby! One of the best defensive centers in the league! Incompetence.Nene is a better defensive player at this point of his career. If he's in their line up they are a different team defensively. It was a luxury tax move but if Nene can stay healthy it will work out.Nene may be better down the line, but I would have to disagree about him being a better defensive player now.Camby plays crappy post defense. His value is almost entirely as a weak side and help defender. Even then he goes for the block too much. He is a really good rebounder still.I agree with pretty much everything you said, so maybe you're right, TP. I think of him as a great shot blocker/shot changer so I look at his over-effort going for a block as part of his defense though, as opposed to someone like Dalembert who over-blocks very poorly and usually ends up goaltending.
