Brand and MDsr still have not talked

Clip Show — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:40:28 -0000

Apparently Brand sees no reason to talk to MDsr anymore, even though he still talks with the assistant coaches and a couple players. To me, this just stains Brand's "character" even more, and lessens any last shred of respect I had for him. Something must have happened between these 2 for them to still not talk. MDsr has been forthright, and FElton has not. It does not take a genius to figure out who is the culprit now, does it?

I am getting more and more pumped up for that New Years eve game now. I am sorry, Mr. Brand, but you will definitely NOT be hearing cheers from Staples Center that night. I am pretty sure that any time you are anywhere near a basketball that night, you are going to hear boos and jeers from the crowd, no matter what the score or situation. I can't wait.

Bits and pieces around the web...

Some things around the net concerning former Clippers. Not sure everyone has seen these, so I thought I would post them:

Darius Miles was cut from the Celtics. Looks like the Blazers will not have to foot the bill for him this year afterall (I think its just an addition to their salary cap number, but you get my meaning).

Maggette has tweaked his hammy. Doesn't look like he will miss any regular season time, but it sounds eerily like the same old thing for Mags. He loves to go to the hoop and create contact, but with that comes all the nicks, bruises, strains, etc. I hope he stays healthy this year, but if he misses any reasonable amount of time due to injury, the Clips management would be in some tiny way vindicated for not resigning him.

Denver releases a slew of former Clips, inlcuding the beloved Nick Fazekas. Are we back on the ZeFreak watch Zhiv? It looks like Patterson and Smush may be out of the NBA for good real soon here. It might still be too early for the Freak to hang them up though.

DMiles to the C's

DMiles to the C's

Looks like DMiles is back in the league. Makes you wonder if Shaun Livingston is next to sign.

Disaster averted?

George post

Ramona says the deal that was SUPPOSED to happen a couple of days ago involved Devean George...not Ricky Davis or Bonzi Wells...man, I thought the Clips were done targeting ex-Fakers. This would have been a total downer if they would have gotten George. Then again, he might have refused the trade (he is not a FA, right?)...just like he did with Jason Kidd ordeal. I would have to say, with the signing of RDavis, this is definitely a disaster averted.

Assuming the Clippers are done dealing...

does their offseason boil down to this trade?

Baron Davis, Marcus Camby and Ricky Davis for Elton Brand and Corey Maggette?

Would anyone seriously make this move ....ever? How about it you knew FElton was not going to resign? And this deal is a little more than just the players involved, since both Camby and RD come off the books just in time for the 2010 free agent bonanza!!!

So, now that it looks like this is what Clippers management has been able to come up with, does this make the Clippers better next season? Well, compared to last season, I would find it hard to say no. A better question might be does this make the Clippers future better? I would have to say yes to that as well.

It may well turn out that FElton turning his back on the Clippers franchise IS the best thing he could have done for the organization (in lieu of resigning of course). Obviously, only time will tell if this holds true.

The price of GS keeping Kaz

Looks like the Warriors have resigned Ellis...but are running into problems with Beidrins now....article says he is looking for Kaman $$....really?....who does this guy think he is? $11mil per? Could we see another YOUNG player go to Europe for more $$?

Ellis resigns

Anyway, so with the Warriors matching Azu's offer (and signing Maggette as well), it looks like they will NOT be able to resign Beidrins now. Interesting how this all works out.....so in the end, do the Clippers get the last laugh? I would have to say yes...

Lee ready to be traded?

Lee article

It appears that what we have been thinking here at Clipsnation MAY be the same thing Clippers management is thinking as well. We may be looking at a Randolph and Lee for Thomas and cap space (and possibly a second round draft pick) trade in the near future. That would mean the Clips would have both Randoph AND Lee to fill the void left by FELton. There might be some cap space left over to go after some higher profile RFA's as well. There doesn't seem to be a time frame for any of this to happen, so it appears that we will just have to sit tight until something breaks. Does this trade address the FElton defection?

Clippers Summer League on TV

Clip Show — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:09:15 -0000

Looks like the Clippers first summer league game is on TV tonight at 7 pm for those of you who have NBAtv. We get our first looks at EGordon, Jordan and Mike T. Unfortunately, it looks as if this will be the ONLY Clippers summer league game that will be televised. One is better than none I suppose. Can't wait to see the new guys in action!

I need 75 words still?...come on...

Maggette's worth

Maggette's worth

Should we direct them to Maggette-festo?

The OC Register Speaks?

The OC Register Speaks?

Now, we all know the history of the Clips, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. If it were the Lakers that had landed Davis, this hack would have come up with a list of 3 reasons why they would be a lock for 3 consecutive NBA championships now. Give me a f-in break.
