Retirement. Raps don't pay him a cent.
A better question for fan/salary cap purposes is what saves more cap space?
Bought out.
If he retires, the Raps might not pay him but they have to carry his salary on the books.
If he is bought out, whatever he is bought out for is what goes on the books.
Correct me if I am wrong but Camby has never won a ring while making over $100M as a player.
I think the Raps might have some leverage.
edit: i just read the next paragraph durrrr@sweatpantsjer

I really don't see Camby being so tradeable, especially at his age, at this time. Maybe at the deadline if a contender has a big go down? Even then... What saves more money, him retiring or being bought out?
Novak i could see being desirable, especially by a playoff team come deadline. GS specifically comes to mind. That said, i think he'll be useful regardless, he's already the team's best shooter and god knows we need that, especially when Gay and Val are on the floor.
I think the next pieces moved are Demar and Gray. There's no more minutes for Gray, and he'd be valuable depth elsewhere.
The good thing is that Camby's second year is only guaranteed for $1M. So if he was waived, he'd only be on the books for $1M next year. Novak has 3 years left, but he's making about $3.5M a year.. I think that can easily be moved to a team looking for a shooter.. and there are a lot of teams that love shooters on their roster.
Q-Rich only has a 1 year guarantee. They have team options for years 2 and 3.. so can waive him after this year. No idea how much he's going to make though.. I guess we'll find out after July 10.

Point is we're gonna need a big body to play defense and Gray (to my dismay) is gonna continue to get minutes more so than novak & Acy.

Just Say NO To Green:
Absolutely no to anything involving Gerald Green, from his draft day leaked rumors that he'd be unwilling to play in Toronto to his punk plays at the end of a couple games against the Raptors which were well in hand, no thank you.
Actually, I rescind my thank you and I'll go with a flat no.

My advice would be to follow Bargnani's lead and not be bothered by it.
I don't, however, think Bargnani is somehow bothered by what is written here.
About the use of 'storied', I don't know, but it might be a more common form in Italian.

Kapono was really good that one year he played with Shaq and Wade and the only job he had to do was stand in one spot and make absolutely wide open shots. Then Colangelo signed him to a pretty penny thinking he would still get those looks with the dynamic duo of Bosh and Bargnani taking all the pressure.
