Answer 5

I was surprised by the Mayo trade. I was also plesantly surprised by Brand going to Philly.

Answer 6

It has to be the Camby trade camby is worth more than a second rounder.

Answer 7

The most shocking offseason moves would be Baron Davis going to the Clippers in hopes to make the Clippers a huge threat in the West but it was faulted when Elton Brand moved to the 76ers to put them into contention in the East!

Answer 8

i was surprised by the OJ Mayo trade but i was glad that he is on a young team so i am going with Baron Davis ditching us

Answer 9

I can't believe the Raptors wanted Jermaine O'Neill

Answer 10

The Clips STEALING Camby...

Answer 11

oj mayo,i thought the twolves would have had a great inside outside threat with mayo and al jefferson but i guess i was wrong

Answer 12

It's gotta be Camby being traded by the Nuggets...I mean his the league's leading shot blocker and you're just gonna trade him for a second rounder...though there were some cash reconsiderations...

Answer 13

for me it was the Camby for 2nd Rounder

I still dont see what the Nuggets were thinking to trade Camby.

it came as a surprise

Answer 14

1.  Childress signing in Greece (and I totally support players doing this).  About F*^%$#* time a player in restricted FA called out some of these teams, especially the Hawks.

2.  Posey at age 31 signing for a 4-year contract at his option

3.  Elton Brand to the 76er's.  I honestly thought he would stay there once they tied up Baron Davis. (I can't blame him either)

4.  Camby to the Clips for a right to switch of second rounders.  I figured they would trade him for another expiring contract with a sign and traded JR.  Maybe for Marion?

5.  Gerald Greene signiningfor the minimum with the Mavs.  Really?  We get Bass last season and now Greene after we traded all our draft picks away?  WTF.  Other teams had a chance to bury them completely and now both guys get to play and learn the game from Kidd, Dirk, and Terry.  I would have signed Greene out of spite.

Still more summer to go however.

Answer 15

of the ones you mentioned, i have to say the camby transaction. i thought he had a firm position in denver but i guess they didn't like his contract. he was the only player in denver that is known for his defense. he had the numbers to prove it. i guess they also didn't like his injury problems. he can barely fit in 70 games. clippers get his hefty contract and a perennial defensive player of the year candidate and only give up a second rounder.

but i still think the brand to the sixers move was more shocking. it was a stupid agent to management disagreement that landed brand in philly. i thought baron davis would make him stay, and brand even agreed to take less money, but his agent messed everything up. even coach dunleavy cried to the media saying he felt betrayed.

the clippers have been in the middle of some pretty shocking moves this year.

Answer 16

Camby for the "option of swapping second-round picks in 2010". They got him for free!

Answer 17

Gilbert Arenas, I thought he was going to sign with a new team, I was surprised that he stuck with the Wizards

Answer 18

Clips getting Camby because they get a defensive player without an exchange just a second rounder. You know that Denver is not used to draft a player.

The trade of OJ Mayo is not that big because the wolves really need a big man of Love to pair with Jefferson. The wolves lack of big man last year. So they benefit it.

The other 2 is not a big surprise getting Williams is just a bonus for warriors. While re-signing Arenas is just what the wizards really going. Without Arenas they(Wizards) will not be a contender in East.

Answer 19

The Sixers stealing Brand from the LA Clippers.
