Knicks, Magic Eyeing Marcus Camby

Have a All-Star big man? Does he have trouble with always being double and triple-teamed? Why not add a veteran big man? Marcus Camby has to be the first of five names come to your mind. Apparently, Knicks GM Donnie Walsh and Magic GM Otis Smith have both made contact with Portland to acquire Camby. Amar’e and Dwight are grinning.

From Newsday.com:

He might prefer to instead sign off on a trade for a high-quality big man, such as Marcus Camby, whose presence would allow Stoudemire to move back to his more natural position at power forward. But while the Knicks, according to an NBA source, are keeping close watch on Camby’s availability now that the injury-plagued Trail Blazers are at a crossroads, the Orlando Magic reportedly also are angling to land the veteran shot-blocker to back up Dwight Howard.
