I just love this guy's maturity.

Chris Tomasson spoke to Marcus Camby in Vegas yesterday and reports that a lot of teams are showing interest in him, but that he believes he'll be a Clipper this season and he's good with that. That's consistent with what we've been led to believe.

So Griffin bought a condo in Playa Vista

That sounds about right. Near the beach, the practice facility and LAX. He’s a young guy, and Santa Monica is right down the road. Good stuff.

Playa Vista..?

is that where all those condo’s/ apartments are at? I think my brothers girlfriend use to live there and she said that Lamar Odom’s girlfriend lives there. Apparently they smoke alot of crack also. Potheads.

(Of course I could be getting the apartment mixed up, but I know she was talking about Odom.)

playa vista

Is a pretty nice area. There could be crack heads nearby but its a pretty pricey area.

Camby

I’d be really surprised if he was dealt before mid-season. The youngsters could really benefit from his mentorship. Mid-season, if there’s a contender that wants to give up a first rounder for him, I’d take it. But only b/c by then he’s had half a season to mentor Blake, and he’s likely leaving for nothing after next season anyway. Might as well sacrifice half a season for a 1st round pick.

Hill

I watched a lot of Spurs games this past season because I had Ginobli and Parker on my fantasy squad. They played him sparingly during the season (he was a rookie afterall) but he got extended minutes when both of those guys got injured throughout. What impressed me was that you always knew when he was in the game and he never disappeared, or shied away from any play on both offense and defense. Watching him, you felt like you were watching a guy with rookie skills but on the fast-track to veteran playmaker. His athleticism is incredible, and I remember thinking that given the right system he could be really, really good. If I remember correctly the Spurs got him at a steal too, maybe the late first or early second round. He also looks a lot bigger than he is.
