Clippers Acquire Steve Novak

LAC — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:56:58 -0000

The Rockets expect to trim their roster and their bloated collection of forwards on Wednesday by dealing Steve Novak to the Los Angeles Clippers, an individual with knowledge of the deal said Tuesday.
The Rockets will receive future draft considerations, likely the right to switch places with the Clippers in a second round. It is unclear which season that would be because both teams have future second round commitments.
The Rockets selected Novak, 25, in the second round of the 2006 season. A 6-10 forward, Novak averaged 2.7 points in 70 NBA games, making 44.1 percent of his shots and 42.7 percent of his 3-pointers.
The highlight of his two seasons with the Rockets was likely the buzzer-beating 3-pointer he made to defeat the Kings during the Rockets’ 22-game winning streak last season.

Clippers Insider Releases Information

LAC — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:25:54 -0000

hehe. Im making it sound really "confidential" and "spy-like", but my friend's Clippers' representative has said that they are pursuing Ricky Davis and Bonzi Wells.

This is odd, but would suit the team well.

What do you guys think?

I mean WElls has always seemed to be a rumored Clipper incomer and Ricky Davis is a great player. I'd love to see these guys on our team..but wouldn't a trade be necessary to do this? The Rep. also said we have "money that we're willing to spend"

This is information from my Clippers' source: The Los Angeles Clippers are eagerly pursuing Bonzi Wells and Ricky Davis. This is odd to me, but I feel that it'd be great for the team. We'd have to trade for these two, wouldn't we? Please leave thoughts, and opinions. Not sure where this money is from unelss Sterling wants to go into the luxury tax zone. He also said from the point of Baron's signing to EB's departure, ticket sales sky rocketed and they nearly have a record of season ticket holders....note: BEFORE EB's departure. They also said that we would have a lot more fun this season. Just wanted to share! Bye

Will the Clippers sign/trade for Wells or Davis?

2010--The Year of Rebirth

LAC — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:25:25 -0000

Let's think about this a little bit. In 2010, Mobley, Thomas, Hart, and Camby's contract's expire. If we let them all go, we could have about 22-26 million in the bank of free cap space. In 2010, agents like LeBron (probably New york), Wade, Stoudemire, Dirk N. , and Bosh will all be available. We could do something amazing in 2010 if we renounce these players.

Just two years from now, we could be a Championship team.

Which of these superstars do we have the best chance of acquiring?

WARRIORS UP OFFER TO 100 MILLION!

LAC — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:13:34 -0000

Wow, the Warriors must be really seeking revenge. Reports from the LATimes have announced that the Warriors have now offered Elton 100 million dollars for 5 years; thats 30 more than we can and will offer him. This is disturbing because Elton has not announced his support to the CLippers yet, meaning that he is second guessing his decision. this could be disappointing altho we could get maggette if we didnt take brand. But Brand is so much bbetter than Maggettee. This could get ugly.

Sorry about that. I was on another Clips forum and I saw the story, but it turns out the guy wasn’t accurate. My apologies, but the deal worth 100 million is true according to the sources. Brand has not released comments or taken a position.

Will the Clippers retain Elton Brand

Baron Davis

LAC — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:17:17 -0000

Baron Davis surprised some by opting out of his contract yesterday. He also expressed interest in becoming a movie producer. Would it make sense to take this point guard? And if so, how would we afford it? Maggette would have to go for sure to make this work. EB can stay, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him take a pay cut in order to improve the team. He said my main interest is winning, and I'll do whatever it takes, so we'll see.

Our Free Agents

LAC — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:05:11 -0000

Hey,

I formerly had an account on the first ClipsNation. Anyway, who do you think is going to stay and who do you think is going to leave the Clippers this summer? Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, Quinton Ross, and other free agents are potentially leaving us. I am completely against making Livingston that qualifying offer, but I'm sure Dunleavy will do so anyway saying something to the sort of how much talent you can see off the court, etc.

What is going to happen to Corey Maggette?

Cassell...is....GONE!

LAC — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:05:39 -0000

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Sam Cassell is expected to sign buyout papers with the franchise soon and will sign with the Boston Celtics once he clears waivers, according to an NBA source.

Cassell and the Clippers have agreed to buyout terms. He is expected to receive some of the money remaining on his $6.1 million salary this season.

Once the 38-year-old's buyout is official, he has to clear waivers (which takes 48 hours) before he can become eligible to sign with another team. The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder is expected to clear waivers by Saturday and would be eligible to play the rest of the season and postseason for the Celtics.

Cassell will not travel with the Clippers to Denver, where they face the Nuggets on Friday night.

The Clippers are expected to sign guard Flip Murray, who was let go by the Detroit Pistons, to replace Cassell.

KAMAN DOES NOT MAKE ALL STAR TEAM

LAC — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 00:25:28 -0000

I was just watching TNT, and unfortunately Kaman, like Thornton did not make the team. I'm disappointed. I feel like it's the Clippers record that prevented it.
Hopefully, next year he'll be able to make it!
Sorry, Chris!
Really Disappointing....................
Thornton has put up monster numbers lately, and Kaman, as well.
