(Marcus) Camby will serve as the primary backup for Tyson Chandler and could see minutes at power forward backing up Amar’e Stoudemire. Camby has spent the majority of his career as a starter, but pushing aside his ego should be no problem.

“This is the first time I’ll be coming off the bench in 16 years,” Camby said. “There has to come a point, a time in my career, where that’s going to happen. I still feel I am going to be a big contributor to this team.

“I’m not going to come in here and say, ‘Well, I’ve been a starter for 16 years, so I’m going to be a starter,’ I just want to come here and fit in.”
