Marcus Camby would "likely contemplate" retirement if traded by the Trail Blazers before Thursday's deadline, according to a source close to the veteran center.
"Marcus has made plenty of money in his career, and at this stage would not be keen to move to a rebuilding situation," the source said. "If he is traded, he would likely contemplate retirement.’"
Camby's agent, Rick Kaplan, said that line of thinking is consistent with what his client has told him.
"He really wants to stay in Portland, it’s his No. 1 choice,’" Kaplan said. "It was incredibly important to him when he signed his extension and moved his family that he stay in Portland. I think by now he understands it’s a business, but that’s where he wants to be."
