Ouch, not exactly a ringing endorsement for Vinny.

What a joke.

5 years, $11.7 million. Rejoice, Bronco fans!

LOL... Dwight hates the Lakers so much, he chose to stay in Orlando over playing for them!

Would he be worth going after? I know his reputation is at an all-time low, but to be fair, the Knicks are completely dysfunctional. Melo was at his best with Chauncey (an elite veteran PG) passing to him in Denver. Maybe he could return to form with CP3 passing to him now?

...kind of like what's already being done in soccer and the WNBA.

I personally detest the idea, but not because of the usual hysterical rantings and ravings of "sports are too commercial these days" and "they're all money-grubbing whores". I just don't like it because, no matter how they try to force the ads in, it would look ridiculous. I don't like the idea of the baseball-style scripts that have seen the Clippers through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs being replaced by Kia's ugly logo, for example.

Yet Jimmy thinks scouting is vastly overrated. "Evaluating basketball talent is not too difficult," he says. "If you grabbed 10 fans out of a bar and asked them to rate prospects, their opinions would be pretty much identical to those of the pro scouts."

Wow.

If CP3 and Griffin end up leaving because of bad PR moves like this, I am through being a Clippers fan.

There's no truth to the rumor that every episode is just a "highlight" reel of his time on the Clippers.

"Williams likes Los Angeles and lives in nearby San Diego during the offseason. Before the season began, the three teams on his wish list were New Jersey, Dallas and the Los Angeles Clippers, according to sources."

Obviously, it's a moot point now that we have CP3, but it's still nice to finally get confirmation on all those D-Will rumors from last year.

...if "the right situation comes along". Hard to imagine Sloan thinking that Stockton/Malone 2.0 isn't the "right situation" for him.

Kellen doesn't even get an INVITE to New York? Are you kidding me?

Screw you too, ESPN.

That's good news for us. Firstly, it pretty much removes one of our major competitors for CP3. Secondly, it shows that the talent we have now makes us a more attractive landing spot than even franchises like the Celtics that have always had success.

"The New Jersey Nets are prepared to offer a trade package featuring Brook Lopez and two future first-round picks to acquire Dwight Howard before the Orlando Magic center becomes a free agent in July 2012, according to sources close to the situation.The New Jersey Nets are prepared to offer a trade package featuring Brook Lopez and two future first-round picks to acquire Dwight Howard before the Orlando Magic center becomes a free agent in July 2012, according to sources close to the situation."

"The Los Angeles Lakers are also expected to eventually lodge their own trade bid for Howard -- featuring some combination of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom"

But the best part of the article is...

"The Los Angeles Clippers are also regarded as a legit contender Howard, despite the franchise's history under owner Donald Sterling, because they'll have cap space and could pair him with rising star Blake Griffin."

Somehow, we move down two spots despite winning pretty handily. Thankfully, the AP poll doesn't determine anything BCS-wise.

Epic.

#1 LSU, #2 Alabama, #3 Oklahoma State, #5 Clemson.

The Top Four: LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State.

This is HUGE for our chances at getting into the Big 12. I never thought I'd ever be thrilled at the loathsome SEC expanding.

:(

Well guys, you'd better hope that the Lakers don't hire Dunleavy. Having suffered through several years of him as coach AND GM, he is just brutal.
