Cammy was hurt. I don't care should have known he would get hurt.
Teams had no cap space. I don't care tell them to open up 6 million dollars for Cammy.
He had 2 points between Christmas and the deadline. I don't care tell them he had 82pts in 08.
Where exactly was he suppose to forecast the market?

Could Cammy yield more than a 3rd rounder earlier in the season? Nobody knows. But that's what he was apparently worth at the deadline and that wasn't good enough for Burke. Burke stated that he progressively had to drop his asking price closer to the deadline, and being an experienced GM, I'm sure he knows that nobody is going to take your calls for very long if you're asking for the moon, so the market asking price cannot be too outrageous.
Given the results, I don't think its unreasonable to expect that Cammy was worth more than a 3rd at some point during the season, especially when the team has stated to be willing to hold back salary.
