Two recent NBA transactions:
DENVER sends Marcus Camby to LA CLIPPERS for the option to switch second-round picks.
Who wins: Clippers, Hawks
Why: Nuggets got out a little from their luxury tax nightmare, but they gave away their best defender. Clippers meanwhile got Chris Kaman a heckuva backup center, and while it doesn't salvage their off-season, it softens the blow of losing Elton Brand and Corey Maggette.
And it just became that much more diffcult for the Clips to make Josh Smith an offer that the Hawks can't match.
----
BOSTON loses James Posey to NEW ORLEANS in free agency.
Who wins: Hornets*
Why: The Hornets just picked up the Sixth Man from the champion Celts, and what has been the knock on New Orleans? No bench. However, the salary cap is going to be an issue in 2009. If they win the championship next year, then salary cap shmalary shmap.
