Further proof that jemele hill is the most worthless writer for ESPN.

Her analysis sure is analytical. Just like all her articles , the majority of which are race related in some nonsensical way.

Eric gordon in a video of team usa

I only noticed this because on the page before you hit play you can tell that is eric crashing into that scorers table.

That said he doesnt do much in this video, but he's #57 in white.

what do you guys think of rasual butler or antonio daniels?

I was thinking about the trade exception and how the clippers might use it. I figure the smartest thing to do would be to target teams over the luxury tax who are financially not so sound, and take a player that is a 2009-2010 expiring contract off their hands.

On hoopshype.com this really leaves only a few teams that aren't in "we dont care about the luxury tax we'll do it to win" , and have players under the 7 million exemption. One of these is the hornets who are more or less ready to give tyson chandler away. That said they have 2 players on their team that if given to the clippers marcus camby style would save them double because they are in the tax, and would be useful to the clippers. I wonder if dunleavy is already thinking about this sort of things since he did it last year with camby.

Anyhow the hornets have Rasual butler and antonio daniels. I am not sure how much daniels has left in him, but he probably would be useful backup both guard spots. On top of that they have butler who is 6'7" and may or may not be small forward material. He at least shoots 3s better than al thornton and it looks like he can also play shooting guard. he makes nearly 4 million which would save the hornets 8 million. daniels would save them even more, and he's also be useful as a backup SG / pg and he definitely plays defense (he's like 34 though but i dont think he's "done").

Now I'm thinking the hornets would throw in a pick and say 3 million to have daniels taken off their hands just to not pay the luxury tax (even if they pay 3 million , they still save 9 million). Rasual butler is their starting SG so I am not sure how possible that is, then again they were ready to give away tyson chandler. I think rasual + hilton armstrong also fits for the exception (we'd have to waive some people) and thus gets new orleans just over the luxury tax threshold, plus maybe is enough to get butler...

How about this possibliity for the clippers trade exception

I was reading about how josh childress had to go back to greece because he didn't like how the negotiations were going with the hawks

Seeing as we have a 7.3 million dollar trade exception, couldn't we trade it to the hawks for the rights to josh childress, if its the end of the season and we haven't used it?

I am not sure if that is possible under the nba rules, but I figure if at the end of next season the clippers haven't done anything with their exception why not? We could say take on some unwanted salary the hawks have and childress' rookie deal (say maurice evans or something) or possibly a future draft pick (like say top 20 protected until 2016 or a 2nd rounder or whatever). If by some miracle lebron, etc agrees to sign, we can renounce our rights to childress. If lebron doesn't sign we now own childress's rights and sign him and other players.

Worst case scenario if we lose him we just have to pay some guy that is already on the hawk's roster (I figure we'd have to take on this salary to make it worthwhile for the hawks) or lose a top 20 protected pick (you know since in the not too distant future we'll have all stars bg and eg leading our team to 55 wins... YEAH)

What do you guys think are the odds dunleavy gets desperate for a backup 3/4 with skinner gone.
