Sterlings Cheap Ways May Interfere With Golden Opportunity to Rectify 2010 Mistakes


Recommended Posts

Most likely amnesty cut: Ryan Gomes

 

How likely to use amnesty this season? Jump ball

 

Other amnesty candidates: Randy Foye

 

Analysis: Sensible as it seems for the Clippers to consider releasing Gomes when he has two seasons and some $4 million in guaranteed money left on his contract, don't forget who owns this team. Donald Sterling, remember, isn't exactly known for paying people to stop working for him.

 

Many veteran Sterling-watchers don't even think he could have brought himself to use the amnesty provision on the since-traded Baron Davis, whose deal is far richer, so there's conceivably only one scenario that would prompt Sterling to pay Gomes to go away. And that's if matching an offer to restricted free-agent center (and Blake Griffin favorite) DeAndre Jordan gets so pricey that the Clips have no alternative. If Gomes' departure can create the sort of cap room that enables the Clips to re-sign Jordan and upgrade at small forward, that's when you'll see it. Maybe.

The day that Donald Sterling pays somebody who isn't working for him is the day the world will come to an end, even if it means screwing up his team in the process.
