The Knicks just pulled off a five-player trade yesterday to welcome 38-year-old Marcus Camby as a backup center.

The Knicks and Houston Rockets reached a deal that will send youngsters Toney Douglas, Jerome Jordan and Josh Harrellson west to Houston in return for Camby, who agreed to a three-year, $13.2 million contract, according to ESPN.

The Knicks also had to give the Rockets their second round picks in 2014 and 2015. New York has already surrendered its 2013 second round, 2014 first round and 2016 second round picks — meaning the Knicks are only going to get older.

Last week, the Knicks lured 39-year-old Jason Kidd away from Dallas to serve as a mentor to Jeremy Lin. With Kidd and Camby on the roster (when it becomes official after July 11th), the Knicks will have five players over the age of 30, and two in Kidd and Camby that will be on the books after their 40th birthdays.

Camby made his NBA debut in 1996 with Toronto, when Lin was just 8 years old.

Keep in mind that Stoudemire is 29 and Anthony is 28, and both have already been in the league for 10 years. New York will have plenty of experience going forward, but general manager Glen Grunwald is rolling the dice with such an ancient roster.
