Two struggling teams looked to each other for help on Monday.

The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to trade Marcus Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers for Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake, a source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.

Good for Camby! Glad to see him with the opportunity to compete in the postseason. I've always secretly hearted the guy in a manly man way. Portland will likely let him walk in the summer, as Oden and Przybilla will be back next year. Not a bad deal for LAC either. Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw will expire after the season like Camby. Decent rental, and maybe they'll see something they like in Outlaw. IMO, he'll pleasantly surprise them. He's a pretty solid all around player at the three. Oh, that's if he's ever healthy of course. :D

Portland was pretty crowded in both spots; they're much better rounded now. More PT for Jerryd Bayless.

Maybe Blake will come to Miami as a FA next year. Good move for both teams, especially Portland.

Ah good. It just wouldn't be a trade deadline without a Marcus Camby trade rumor. Looks like this one is actually legit, though.

After he has one sip of the Portland water, he's likely to tear an ACL, break a leg, or pop a kneecap like all the other Trail Blazer bigs.

If it didn't happen with the Clippers, he's probably safe. Nobody can blow an ACL or break an ankle like an LA Clippers big.
