[POR/HOU] Portland trades Marcus Camby to Rockets for Jonny Flynn, Thabeet, picks

As @SpearsNBAYahoo reports, Portland's traded Camby to Houston. Source tells Y! Rockets will send expiring deals and a 2nd round pick to POR

The Rockets will send Jonny Flynn and Hasheem Thabeet to the Blazers, source tells Y! Sports.

Houston also sends a 2012 second-round pick (via Minnesota) to Portland to complete the Camby trade, source tells Y!

Nice deal for Houston, they've been trying to send something for various bigs all season.

Portland rebuilding wisely in my opinion.

Thabeet and Flynn are jobbers, but the amount of cap space they have next season is insane.

Add in additional picks, especially in a deep draft, and Portland looks to be on track.

Build around mainly Aldridge and they should be good in the future.

Would have liked more for Camby, but can't complain. For better or worse the rebuild is going solid.

Camby still produces though

I just saw that Portland fired their coach so this is a complete retool.

I never expected Flynn to be a journeyman so early in his career.
