So true.

Yeah, I mean Nash is kind of overrated but still makes the cut, IMO.

^ You mean soccer coaches?

Clippers offer Caron Butler 7 mill a year EXACTLY what I predicted. Broussard reports Clippers/Nets offered him 7 mill a year. Bulls/Spurs only offering 5 mill a year mid level exception. Caron Butler needs to take the offer and we need to keep our group together. Years aren't reported so who knows. Probably 3 year deals. BTW I think 7 mill a year over 3 years is very fair and smart of the Clippers. I say we keep 2012 Minny pick and draft a SF from this loaded draft with ton of SF's and let Caron groom them into the role of starter by the time he's older. Only thing we need to do is maybe trade Mo Williams+Kaman for Rajon Rondo or something like that. I have a feeling with Caron we are going to need a more capable playmaking PG to get everybody shots.

I like DJ. A lot. And anyone who thinks he's reached his ceiling is crazy. That being said, the deal he's being offered by the Clips is too generous but probably won't be enough to keep him. (I hate centers. It's not enough that they get to be taller than everyone, they get to be overpaid too.) But I digress. I hope DJ sticks around. I think those of you who are critical of his numbers are looking at his value the wrong way. He's basically a freakishly athletic cheerleader. Think Mark Madsen but, you know, can actually play basketball. And like I said, he's not done developing. As long as we never rely on his offense, he could end up being a defensive/rebounding force like Tyson Chandler. You could do worse spending 8 mil/year, as long as he gets his FT average up to the 68-70% range. He's not there yet. Not even close. Which is of course why I think the current offer is too generous.

Nash is gettin' old, son.

Cool. No Joel Vincent Anthony? :o

The Lost Season.

Uh this is bad for Lakers. Basically implies NO ONE would want BOTH Bynum and Gasol which has already been reported. Lakers have refused to give up both so the Lakers are NOT getting Paul PERIOD. May get Dwight but CP3 is not headed to the Lakers.

Ramona Shelborne of ESPN LA has just reported that Clippers meeting with Caron Butler went so well that the two parties are meeting again Tuesday. This guy is a recent two time all star. A bit selfish offensively but a HUGE upgrade over Gomes and a very capable SF. Good on both ends of the floor. "Sources" say he's 100 percent and looks great. I doubt Olshey and VDN would be bringing him back second time if he didn't look great in workout. I just hope he's reasonable with the salary he demands. One thing I love about this guy is his toughness/swagger. He's one of the few guys in the NBA who has the heart and fire to go at players like Kobe and Lebron and hold his own.

When did you start rooting for Atl. and what got you into it?

Wow the Clipps extended an offer first instead of the patent Clipper matching ways. Makes sense i read on either hoopsworld or realgm that with DJ signing early the cap hold stays at 1 mill for now. I could be wrong but if thats the case good move Clipper FO. I really hope he takes it and doesn't get greedy.

I see you're from Madrid, so you must be a Real fan? You follow Real's basketball team too?

^ What's the most ever by a Jamaican?

A place for random Clipper thoughts/ideas. Grant Hill now on the radar and wants to be part of the crew Scroll down to the part about Grant Hill and ignore the dummy who thinks the Clipps would trade Blake, Bledsoe and minn pick for Howard. http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/david_aldridge/12/05/morning-tip-chris-paul-future/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1 If they manage to land Prince and have him backed up by Grant Hill, the SF slot on this team is suddenly formidable. I like how he thinks keeping Blake on his rookie scale as opposed to trading for Howard's max contract is a failing on Sterling's part, as opposed to just common sense.
