What does this mean for Rudy Fernandez? Does this move take the Blazers to the next level? With plenty of movement so far in free agency, this summer has held nearly as much excitement as last.

With the Clippers still thin at the 3, is there a trade that could bring Rudy to L.A.? Would anyone even be interested in seeing this guy in a Clipper uni?

Clippers 2009 Calender

The in-laws gave me a 2009 calender for christmas with EB on the cover and featuring Corey, TT, Kaman, Mobley, and Brevin Knight. Could not help but laugh because my mother-in-law had obviously paid at least a couple of bucks for it, but think about that. A calender that obviously was printed last year featuring only one player that remains with the team.

Also wanted to point out that the original price printed on the calender for sale in the US was $14.99. How many folks paid that amount when the thing first went on sale? Awesome.

Anyone remember EB v Okafor?

Two players stand out in my mind that Brand seemed to genuinly dislike. One was Dwight Howard. It seemed to me when those two met up that they really went at each other and I always got the feeling that each felt the need to best the other.

The other was Okafor. I believe it was his rookie year that things between he and Brand got so heated during a game that EB got tossed. To that point in his career I had never seen EB lose his temper and I don't ever remember him getting ejected again. Okafor was draping his body all over EB, contesting every shot and scrapping for every board.

I always hated those two players because I felt that EB hated them. How odd would it be if Okafor ended up replacing him?
