LOS ANGELES (AP) - Six days later, and Marcus Camby still can't believe what went down.
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Camby from the Denver Nuggets last Tuesday for the option to exchange second-round picks with the Clippers in 2010.
Yes" is what Camby says when asked if the Nuggets gave him away.
The Nuggets did get rid of Camby's $10 million salary-cap figure.
Camby was the NBA's leading shot-blocker the past three seasons. He was the NBA defensive player of the year in the 2006-07 season and finished second behind Boston's Kevin Garnett in the voting this season.
The 12-year NBA veteran says he understands basketball is a business but adds he found out about the trade from his agent. Camby says he thinks the way the Nuggets went about the trade lacked class.
The 33-year-old Camby was the second big-name player to join the Clippers this month. Baron Davis left GoldenState to sign a five-year, $65 million contract with his hometown team.
