快船队交易得到马库斯.坎比

洛杉矶快船队今天通过与丹佛掘金队交易得到马库斯.坎比，同时丹佛队将得到快船队2010年的第二轮选秀权。

作为2006-07赛季NBA最佳防守球员，坎比以联盟顶级防守球员身份加入快船队。拥有12年经验的老将，坎比上赛季以3.61个盖帽连续三年排在联盟首位，成为NBA历史上第二位连续三赛季位居盖帽榜首的球员。

“我很高兴他能够加入我们球队，”快船队主教练Mike Dunleavy 说到。“我们获得一位很全面的球员，他是全联盟最好的防守球员，且有丰富的季后赛经验。”

上赛季坎比代表掘金队打了个人新高的79场比赛，平均出场34.9分钟拿到生涯新高的13.1篮板与9.1分，且按48分钟计场均18.0个篮板位列NBA首位。

“我认为这极大地增强了我们球队，特别是在我们不需要放弃任何球员时获得一位对我们球队有很大帮助的援手，”快船队的篮球运营主席表示。“马库斯可以打多个位置，同时也是联盟最能抢篮板和盖帽的球员之一，我认为他和卡曼的搭档将会组成强大的内线防守组合，也会使我们成为令人恐惧的球队。”

2008-08和2006-07赛季最佳防守阵容成员，2004-04和2005-06赛季最佳防守阵容二队　成员，坎比作为为Massachusetts大学的超级明星在1996年NBA第二顺位被多伦多猛龙队选中，然后再尼克斯队效力四年，过去６个赛季一直在丹佛掘金队。

    在坎比的60场季后赛中，场均取得8.6分和8.8个篮板。

Clippers Acquire Marcus Camby

The Los Angeles Clippers today acquired forward Marcus Camby from the Denver Nuggets. In return, Denver will have the option to exchange second round picks with the Clippers in 2010.

The NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2006-07, Camby comes to the Clippers with a reputation as one of the top defenders in the league. A 12-year veteran, Camby led the NBA in blocked shots last year (3.61) for the third straight season, becoming only the second player in NBA history to lead the league in three consecutive seasons.

“I love this acquisition for the current make up of our team,” Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy said. “We are getting a consummate pro who is maybe the best team defender in the league and who has 60 playoff games under his belt.”

Camby played in a career-high 79 games last season for the Nuggets, averaging a career-high 13.1 rebounds and 9.1 points in a career-best 34.9 minutes per game while ranking first in the NBA in rebounds per 48 minutes (18.0).

“I think this is a very good addition for us, especially since we’re getting a player who can really help us without having to give up a player in return.” Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor said. “Marcus can play multiple positions and is one of the better rebounders and shot-blockers in the league. With him playing alongside [Chris] Kaman I think we will have a pair of excellent interior defenders, and that will make us a formidable team.”

A member of the NBA All-Defensive Team in 2007-08 and 2006-07 and named to the All-Defensive Second Team in 2004-05 and 2005-06, Camby played the last six seasons in Denver after four years with the Knicks. Drafted by the Toronto Raptors with the second overall selection in the 1996 NBA Draft after a stellar career at the University of Massachusetts, Camby was named to the 1996-97 All-Rookie First Team.

Camby has appeared in 60 NBA Playoff games in his career, with the Hartford, Connecticut native averaging 8.6 points and 8.8 rebounds in the postseason.
