Ken BergerofCBSSports.comhas updates on a few recent Portland Trail Blazers rumors. He shoots down theBlazers point guard Andre Miller to the Charlotte Bobcats rumor. He confirms thatBlazers center Marcus Camby isn't interested in being traded, but adds that Camby wouldn't mind a return to the New York Knicks. He also writes thatPortland's decision-making before the trade deadline is being guidedin large part by the health of guard Brandon Roy. ----------------------------------------- Exploratory trade talks the Trail Blazers are involved in on multiple fronts hinge on what decision is made with regard to Brandon Roy's short- and long-term health. Team officials already have engaged in internal discussions about trading older players such as Marcus Camby, Andre Miller and Joel Przybilla. Such an avenue would seem to be more likely if it's decided that Roy will miss significantly more than the six games he just sat out due to a bone-on-bone condition in both knees. ----------------------------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
