We should be gearing up to make Mr. Kevin Durant our man in 2011.  Imagine pairing him up with Blake, DJ, EJ, and filler with AT off the bench.  That would be some team.  In all honesty, I doubt we have a shot at Lebron, and why would we want Bosh or Wade when we have our studs at their positions.  I guess we could go after a wing like Joe Johnson, but Kevin is the same age as EJ and BG.  Thoughts?

This is strategy for game play.

Mr Dunleavy, if you allow me to make a suggestion.  At least one time this season can you start the following players? (given they are still with the team)

Pg Baron

Sg EJ

Sf Mardy

Pf Zack

C Kaman/Camby

The strategy is not with the starters but with the reserves.    At exactly 6minutes into the game, you pull all of your starters except Gordon and you replace with the following:

Pg Mike Taylor

Sg EJ/ or Fred Jone (depending on fatigue)

Sf Al

Pf Blake

C DJ

I feel this unit will run any other team in the league out of the building.  I think we would be up 10 points at the least.  The main part of the strategy is you must put in all of the reserves at once so you optimize their conditioning against the opposing teams starters/reserves.

Thoughts?

Id like to know what he's up to for the summer.  Unlike most people in clipper nation, I enjoy watching Zach bring it on the court.  It would be really cool if he were in the gym with DJ and Baron working on his game with the team.  Kaman, along with Zack should be a great tandem if they had the work ethics of the new kid on the block. BLAKE!

ZBO is going to have a good season for us.

its a great day to be a clippers fan.  we are getting the number 1 pick, arent losing any key free agents, and perhaps we can pick up a wing through free agency.  why not let blake griffin come off the bench for zbo and thornton?  i can see him strong enuff to guard the 4, and athletic enuff to run with the 3's.  lets keep camby and kaman, and if one of those guys go down, we have another young big hungry for playing time with dj.  baron is thrilled, we have a 2 potential superstars with ej and bg.  its a GREAT TIME to be a clippers fan.

pg- Baron Davis               

sg- EJ

sf- AT

pf- 1st round pick Blake Griffin

c- Chris Kaman

6th men-Zack Randolph, Marcus Camby

Im beginning to think you need a major league baseball mentality when you approach the season.  You have your studs who play majority of minutes and you have your utility players who provide depth and give your studs a day off.

ricky davis, mardy collins, fred jones, steve novak- perfect utility players

then you have your potential stars like DJ and Mike Taylor

how terible is this team?  Is this a team that does have tremendous upside but being so frustrated as a fan with current events, doesnt see it this way? 
The way I see it:

pg:  Baron Davis  solid point, needs the spotlight away from dunleavy

       Mike Taylor  very raw but could be great if developed solid jump shot and worked on passing/team chemistry

       Mardy Collins  solid role player, can play many positions 

sg:  Eric Gordon  Dunleavy/Baylors greatest pick

       Fred Jones   solid role player

       Ricky Davis  although seems like a cancer, plays well when given specific task, running the point or coming off the bench for needed points

sf:  Al Thornton very athletic, needs to work on D!

      Steve Novak   lights out shooter, too slow for sf, deffinately needs to bulk up to play pf

pf:  Zack Randolph great rebounder, great scorer, needs to hit the weight room/ shed some weight

     Brian Skinner: solid depth to team

c:   Chris Kaman  26 yo very skilled at position lacking quality big men

      Marcus Camby  solid vet leadership, wants to be here

      Deandre Jordan   20 yo beast could be the steal of all drafts

If i had my way, i'd convince DTS to hire Sam Cassell as next years coach and keep dunleavy as GM
