Camby responds to trade rumors

Ken Berger of cbssports.com posted today that future Blazers trades will be largely dictated by how the team views Brandon Roy’s short and long-term health. He said team officials have discussed trading older players such as Andre Miller, Joel Przybilla and Marcus Camby, later citing a “source with knowledge of Camby’s thinking” that Camby would strongly prefer to stay in Portland, but would be content with going to New York.

Camby’s reaction to the trade talks Thursday?

“It always feels good to be wanted,” he said.

The center confirmed that he wants to stay in Portland, largely because his family is here. He then said that “despite what’s been said or a person close to me said. It didn’t come from me. I’m just worried about Utah.”
