Another setback for Shaun though I expect someone will take a chance on him. He's come so far after rehabilitating from one of the worst spots injuries.

Thornton doesn't want that sacrifice to include a bench role, but Coach Mike Dunleavy strongly hinted that rookie forward Blake Griffin will take Thornton's place whenever Griffin fully recovers from the stress fracture in his left knee.

"If we're a fully healthy team, maybe that role would be a good one for him," Dunleavy said about Thornton coming off the bench. "But based on where we are right now, we kind of need him where he is."

AT really doesn't want to be a bench player as this article, and ones before it, have clearly shown. I was interested to see how Thornton would adjust with Griffin playing in front of Camby. Al has been getting some nice post up's with Camby being a strong facilitator from the top of the key; Griffin plays in the paint.

From the Twitter feed of Los Angeles Times Clippers beat writer Lisa Dillman, Eric Gordon has a sore left groin.

...the word from HOOPSWORLD's Eric Pincus' sources in and around the Clippers is they are not actively looking for a deal. If Sessions falls into their lap for cheap, they'll do a deal, but they aren't going to go out of their way to make a deal happen. Reportedly, $5 million per season is richer than they'd like to spend.

New York Post - Gary Sheffield asked the Mets for a contract extension, the club rejected the overture and now Sheffield has threatened to leave the team and head home, two sources told the Post.

As of 6:30 p.m., one of the sources said, Mets officials and Sheffield were in discussions on how to move forward. Mets pitcher Tim Redding actually said he heard Sheffield had been released. But a Mets official told the Post that was inaccurate and that Sheffield had not been released.

"I continue to hear that the Knicks remain the 23 year old's last remaining legitimate option," writes Hahn. "The Clippers seem content with their roster and the Bucks just recently made additions (Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic) that suggest they are ready to move on, as well."

"According to Hahn, the Knicks are ready to sign an offer sheet at around $4 million per season if and when Sessions accepts."

The cost reportedly was one of two Double-A pitchers Brad Holt or Jenrry Mejia plus Jon Niese.

By the looks of it seems the article was published before the Clippers made the trade (only a few hours apart mind you)

But we are a confirmed team (quoted by Sessions agent himself) that we are 1 of 3 teams making a play for Sessions.

Not sure if Telfair eliminated us immediately but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Hope we're still pushing for him though.
