TORONTO -- Over the last couple days there has been some conflicting information as to whether the Clippers' Marcus Camby was truly available. Different league executives apparently had been told different things as tomorrow's deadline neared.
A league source told me this afternoon that any chances the Cavs had at getting Camby are currently dead. It is not clear whether they were ever serious, considering how Clippers coach and GM Mike Dunleavy openly said Camby was not on the block.
Things are always changing in the NBA, last year's 10-player deal was virtually dead on trade deadline morning and came back to life as the day went on. But the Cavs, according to several league executives, are moving on.
The team is still in trade talks at this moment but is having trouble making any headway as a number of deals in the NBA seem to be pending. Right now there are rumors of at least four or five trades under serious consideration.
