With the acquisition of Rasheed Wallace, the 2012-13 Knicks became the oldest team in NBA history by average age. One of those guys that skews that number is 38-year old Marcus Camby, who was given a 3-year deal. If you were surprised that Camby was given 3 years, you’re not alone. So was he.
Perhaps because of his history of injuries and long career, Camby privately told teammates when he arrived for training camp that he was surprised he received a three-year deal worth $13.1 million. While he is scheduled to receive $9.2 million guaranteed for his first two seasons, the third year is not guaranteed and the Knicks could wind up paying him less if he continues to break down. If the Knicks want to get rid of him before his third season, they would owe him only a $1 million buyout. If he sticks, then they would end up paying him all of his $3.9 million for year three.
