Fatal Staples Center Collapse Brings Merciful Early End To Clippers Game

Haha... I found this on curbed.la.com. Kind of funny.

Where does everyone live?

I saw the poll on the Dodgers and Angels and I found it a little surprising that it was so even. I thought it would be more skewed towards the Dodgers due to LA geography but perhaps that was a false assumption. Therefore I'm now assuming we have a lot of fans in the OC area which would explain a lot. So out of curiosity (as well as research for future CN events) where does everyone here live?

2009-2010 Schedule Released for Clips

2009-2010 Schedule Released for Clips

8 games on national tv this year vs 1 last year.

How about this trade?

ClipperChuck — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:48:53 -0000

The Spurs just made a huge trade for Richard Jefferson, it got me thinking that they are obviously in a win now mode with Manu and TD in the twilight of their careers.

How about us offering Marcus Camby to them for Roger Mason (potential glue guy), Matt Bonnar (another energy guy off the bench), their two second rounders (can draft some euro prospects or maybe one of the PGs who fell out of the 1st round or a Wayne Ellington/Danny Green type) and a future 1st rounder pick (maybe 2012 or 2013, the Spurs might be rebuilding by then). Both Mason and Bonnar's contracts expire this year so no harm done to our cap space.

Our front office values Kaman over Camby right now, which I think is the right move given their respective ages. I just noticed an opportunity for us to pick up some value future assets and a potential glue guy.

Cavs want some of our bigs

Dunleavy on the hot seat

Dunleavy on the hot seat

According to Hoopsworld, "There likely isn't a coach with a shorter leash heading into next season than Dunleavy."

Hoopsworld Article on the Clippers

Decent article about the things we've discussed here. Mainly what we are going to do with all our bigs, what options we have and such. I thought the analysis of the pros and cons of each big man was well-reasoned.

Is anyone else psyched up for next year? I wasn't going to renew my season tickets but the team got lucky and sucked me back in by getting the 1st pick.

Some Possible Trades

ClipperChuck — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:02:01 -0000

Cavaliers

Rumor is if the Cavs can't land Rasheed Wallace for 10m/2years then they could be after Zbo. We can get back Big Ben and Pavlovic's expiring deals if we also throw in Ricky Davis. This is essentially addition by subtraction. Big Ben might retire, and I think if he gets traded to us for sure he will retire. Getting rid of Ricky is good for team chemistry. Pavlovic is a solid role player, he's young and playing for his next contract, he could possibly even be glue guy and if he isn't, well the damage is mitigated with his expiring deal.

New Depth Chart

SG - EJ, F Jones, M Collins

PG - Baron, M Taylor

C - Kaman, Camby, DJ

PF - Griffin, Camby

SF - Pavlovic, Thornton, M Collins

Wizards

They are rumored to be moving their 5th pick for immediate help. We can trade them Kaman and our future Minnesota 1st round pick for the 5th pick and matching contracts (Songalia and Etan Thomas for instance). We could draft a young PG prospect for our trouble.

What are some other deals out there that would work for us?

Off-season Wish List

ClipperChuck — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:14:00 -0000

I thought it would be nice to put together a list of things each player should do in the off-season to improve. Some of these guys might not be back due to contracts or trades but for now they are still on our team right now.

Baron Davis - Try PX90.

Chris Kaman - Try hypnosis/sacrificing virgins/voodoo to manage his ADD and lift his injury curse.

Marcus Camby - Pack his bags, he's moving on to bigger and better things.

Zach Randolph - Lay off the bottle, eat a salad once in awhile and hire a driver.

EJ - Ignore phone calls from ZBo, Baron and Ricky late at night.

Thornton - Watch lots and lots of Scottie Pippen tapes.

Ricky Davis - Get a medical prescription for marijuana.

Steve Novak - Work on a go-to celebratory move after draining a 3. I think blowing on the tips of his fingers could work for his "Shooter" image.

DeAndre Jordan - 1000 jumpers before breakfast, 1000 hook shots before lunch, 1000 turnarounds before dinner, 1000 bank shots before bed.

Fred Jones - Sign a contract for the minimum.

Mike Taylor - Work on his Tony Parker impersonation.

Did we lose the coinflip to the Wizards?

ClipperChuck — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 18:25:50 -0000

I just saw this on Hoopsworld. Evidently we have the 3rd most ping pong balls (we have 177 as opposed to 178). This is important because now we can fall to as low as 6th in the draft as opposed to 5th being the floor.

I thought they flipped a coin did we miss this event. Somehow I get the this ominious feeling that this does not bode well for us.
