The Clippers have received consistent interested from teams looking to acquire Marcus Camby.

One source with knowledge of the Clippers' thinking said Wednesday that knowing now that Blake Griffin is not coming back this season makes it more likely that they retain Camby.

It emerged after the deadline passed last February that both Portland and San Antonio engaged in serious Camby talks with the Clips on deadline day.

If the Clippers fade from the race, then trading Camby would be a decision that becomes difficult to resist.
