Just a little update for the folks who haven't noticed. Bayless as of today is shooting 53% from the field and is 75th in the league in overall effectiveness (PER). Right between Brandon Jennings and Rudy Gay.

Brandon Rush as of today is 354th. Right between Hilton Armstong and Sasha Pavlovic. He is also 3 years older and has a much lower athletic ceiling.

If this isn't an indictment of this current regime. I don't know what is? The time to clean house was 2006. Since we missed the boat then. It needs to be done now.

End the Bird vanity project.

Tinsley trade idea

I know it makes too much sense to really happen. However just for kicks, i'm curious what my fellow ICR friends think about this realistic scenerio.

Clippers Get:

Tinsley

Jeff Foster

Pacers Get:

Chris Kaman

DeAndre Jordan

Thinking behind the deal is this. Clippers are needing to clear room for Blake Griffin to play. It has been no secret that they are shopping Kaman. In the Eastern Conference Kaman is a top 5 Center, and an instant upgrade. DeAndre Jordan is a high upside "Boom or Bust" type of prospect.

Clippers are willing to do this because

1. They save money by getting an expiring, tradeable asset in Foster.

2. Get out from under Kaman's deal

3. Ease the front line glut that happens when Griffin is drafted tomorrow.

Yay or Nay?
