After being named to the NBA's All-Defensive first team for the second year in a row, center Marcus Camby hopes he can make a bid for a three-peat while still wearing a Nuggets uniform.

As has been the case for the past few years, his name often is mentioned in discussions about whether the Nuggets need to shake up their roster in an attempt to win a first-round series.

"It hasn't changed. This is definitely where I want to finish my career," Camby said in a telephone interview Monday. "I don't think I did anything to warrant being traded. I just want to win, just like anybody else."

Camby also said he expects teammate Allen Iverson to return to Denver instead of opting out of his contract's final year.

"When I talked to him, he said he wants everyone to come back and he wants to win (an NBA title)," Camby said. "That thirst is in our mouths."
