Elgin sues the Clips

I don't know what to say about this. Again, we can bring up the dysfunction of the franchise, but it would have been nice if he was led out the door in a more graceful matter. Suing for racial discrimination seems to be nonsense, but who knows? Also he never really had a contract in the final years, as folklore goes, so we'll see how things turn out. Baylor was wildly unsucessful..and drafted Kandi.....the Clips should have let him go much earlier to avoid this nonsense. Yet more damage on the reputation of the team.

I think this quote says it all:

:“It’s hard to believe that he would now make these ridiculous claims after the organization stood by him during 22 years and only three playoff appearances. It would be hard to find any sports team that has demonstrated greater loyalty to its general manager.” Robert H Platt, Clips attorney
