For some, much ado about nothing. MU knew exactly how this was going to play out before he made the deal, and accepted the cost. Get over it.

I don't like this buy-out business. If a player isn't going to play for a team he is traded to, then his contract should be forfeit. He can then play for whoever wants him, and there should be no cap implications for the original team...obviously, as the contract would have been voided.

It depends if MU knew that Camby would want a trade before hand. I think the raptors could use a back up C but Camby can't be relied on for big minutes. A buy out is probably the best case here as the Knicks wanted out of his contract and MU had to take another expensive contract. The buy out is more a win win in that the team gets some cap space. And Camby can finish his career trying to win another title

Its also protection for the players so they dont just get tossed around just to make trades work.

which looks like a totally awesome deal to me! people focusing on the Camby part of the equation need to re-look at the whole picture.we were on the hook for 23.3 mil for Bargs over the next 2 seasons and to unload that type of contract you have to take back some bad contracts in return. to blow off 3.4 mil on Camby and perhaps the 4.5 owed Q-rich for the next 3 seasons (but i'm guessing he'll show and collect his money) and then make a 3 year commitment to a good 3point shooter in Novak at 3.75 x 3 would be actually work for me to move Bargs down the road but holy crap he somehow got a 1st + a pair 2nd round picks thrown in! i suspect the Camby buy out was prearranged but for me it's an easily digestible item when looking at the entire fallout of this deal

Camby signs with Rockets! What does that mean for Raps Cap?
Source: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/95...al-source-says
So now that Camby signed vets minimum with Rockets, how much money does the Raps still have to pay him? Good Bye I say to him!!!!!!

Buying out doesn't necessarily remove the impact a player signing elsewhere will have. In this case however, the Raptors likely including a waiving of Camby's set-off rights in their buyout, since it ended up being for a bigger discount than just what Camby would make on a vet minimum contract. So, yes, in this case, there is no impact.
But if they had waived him, then about $300,000 would come off the Raps' cap - as compared to the 1.6 M that came off via the buyout. Good job by Ujiri getting him to take less so he could walk, rather than just caving and giving him the full amount buyout as has been done before.

With Bargs:
2013-14: 10.75M
2014-15: 11.50M
2015-16: 0
Without Bargs:
2013-14: Novak (3.75M) + Q-Rich (1.40M) + Camby buyout (2.76M) = 7.91M
2014-15: Novak (3.45M) + Camby buyout (0.65M) = 4.10M
2015-16: Novak (3.75M) = 3.75M
So for a 3.75M cap hit in 2015-16 (for a good shooter), we cleared about 3M this year and 7.4M next year, and got a first round pick and 2 2nd round picks for the trouble. This assumes Q-Rich is waived, as expected.

Camby was never coming, that was a givin. I think this is less about MU being savvy, and more just standard stuff, and likely a bit of Camby playing nice with Toronto as Toronto was never really bad to him in the past. Sometimes...its just another day at the office, and sometimes things go ok for ya.
