As a fan I couldn't be any more pissed... Camby is one the league's best rebounder/interior defender which just about any contender could use  and all the Clips got in return is $3 mil in cash + the savings on the contracts acquired. Way to rev. up the fan base Sterling/Dunleavy!!! It's almost certain that better offers were on the table but didn't offer the savings for Sterling (but hey he probably needs the cash to fight off the discrimination law suits).

This trade did nothing to improve the future outlook of the team, they didn't shed additional contracts(Telfair, Thornton, Collins) and they didn't pickup future picks for one of the most highly coveted assets(ask the Warriors) interior defense/rebounding.

Essentially, Camby pimped out for $3 million +, Nice work!!!

If Dunleavy/Sterling had done anything good in the past 3 years it was probably acquiring Camby for next to nothing (and potentially picking up DeAndre in the second round). You can't give them credit for Blake Griffin they won a Lottery and took the only pick, no brains required, obviously Gordon can play but it didn't take any brains to pick him either. Otherwise Al Thornton looks like a complete bust and the Baron Davis deal is horrendous!!!!

Every top flight free-agent is going to be fully aware that even if they could get the Clippers to the playoffs Baron Davis and Chris Kaman(all-star selection was a joke) would be exposed as complete frauds in playoff competition.

As bad as the Clippers have been, at least recently I thought they had done some things to move incrementally forward. Trading an asset like Camby and not at least receiving something small to improve the future outlook is ridiculous. Again, nice work Clippers!!! 

You've got to be kidding??? Apparently that's what fox sports is reporting, if this doesn't start a revolt nothing will.

Clippers are denying it now.... The quotes from other NBA execs are hilarious... If they even considered this everyone associated should be laughed out of the league!

Recently I had considered writing something scathing about Baron because I felt way too many people consider him a top 5 point guard or make these predictions about 40 wins(or eighth seed) based on him being an elite player. Well, after the reading the times and daily news this morning I was a bit encouraged because at least it sounds like there was some admission of fault, self loathing, and motivation. I do have to take it all with a grain of salt though, it seems like through his career it's always something minus two seasons with the Warriors.

Over the last seven seasons Baron has missed less than 30 games or shot better than 40% twice not exactly consistent with someone considered elite. Of course the two seasons where he didn't miss 30 games and shot over 40% he played in Nelson's abandon D run and chuck offense surrounded with guys like Stephen Jackson, Monte Ellis, Jason Richardson, hell even Harrington shot well from three and has put up some pretty good scoring numbers. (and yes I know Harrington is a complete idiot, to this day I laugh out loud thinking about him slapping backboards... If it wasn't for that the Clippers were a 17 win team)

Point being, I don't think you can call a season where the so-called leader of the team misses 30+ games and/or shoots sub 40% while taking a ton of shots a good year. But that's exactly what he's done many more times than not. And the only time he hasn't turned in one of these bad years (can't call them sub-par because they happen more than not) he played in a Nelson system surrounded by vets that could get you 20 and Ellis a kid that could get you 20.

So where is this team if Baron throws in another stinker??? Is Telfair who also shoots sub 40% the guy that keeps the team a float? Kaman and three young starters going to get it done (and yes I do like the young players but you can only expect so much)? I'm just saying if they don't get sessions or a backup PG better than Telfair we're all counting on a guy that can't be counted on. If this team struggles early Camby and/or Kaman could both be dealt and then the race to the bottom begins again. Season ticket holders left holding the bag!

Sure, it's crazy.... But what a beautiful way to stick it to the Lakers and rub it in their face 82 nights a year!!! Is there another move out there that sends the message to the Clipper fan base that we're not going to just lay down and be the Lakers whipping post forever?

Does it make the Clippers great? No, but it'd make them better. L.O. could start at Small and grab some minutes at Power when Griffin isn't in. Now you've got Al of the bench.

I would think with the money that falls off the cap this year by trading Z-Bo, the money that's freed up next year when Q's contract expires, the trade exception they've gotten from the Z-Bo deal (if they did a sign and trade) that it would be possible to get the numbers to work...

Possible???
