Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted March 10, 2003 Here's to hoping they win tonight against the Hawks and start a...(grasp) winning streak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted March 10, 2003 Why. There season's over, they'd be better off securing a high draft pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted March 10, 2003 The Clippers are the most disappointing team this year, plain and simple. They have so much talent, but have an owner who will not spend any money to lock down the talent. And so the team has badly, and I mean badly underachieved this year. Most of the players in the last year of the contracts will be playing elsewhere next season. I think Brand will be the only player retained, but even that is questionable. The Clipper's owner, aka as The Don, should just sell the team. It's obvious he doesn't care about winning. He represents everything that is wrong with today's Pro Sports team owner.

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted March 10, 2003 I don't think a high draft pick will do them any good. They have to win enough games down the stretch and give Doanld Sterling a reason to spend some money to keep this team. Here's a breakdown of the contract status of free agents this summer: UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: - Michael Olowakandi - Eric Piatkowski - Cherokee Parks - Sean Rooks RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS (Clips can match offer) - Andre Miller - Corey Magette - Lamar Odom - Elton Brand As you can see, the Clips can keep their best players if Sterling is willing to pay them!

Guest Spicy McHaggis Report post Posted March 11, 2003 As you can see, the Clips can keep their best players if Sterling is willing to pay them! And when has he ever done that? The guy isn't interested in winning. At least the Lakers can pick up the Kandi man. Finally, a quality back-up for Shaq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 11, 2003 I am STILL bitching about NBA starting an 32nd franchise and YET they won't contract 4 duds and make it 28 teams at the most... Contract L.A Clips, Atlanta, Denver and Cleveland. Then get rid of the 8 team tourny and have an 6 team with #1 and #2 getting byes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted March 11, 2003 I don't think they can afford the Kandiman. Kandi isn't interested in winning. He just wants a max contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kingkamala Report post Posted March 11, 2003 I bet Kandi Man goes to Denver. They're looking for any star power, I highly doubt they'll get Kidd or Duncan in Denver so they'd probably settle for a guy like Kandi or Elton Brand. I think the Nuggets have decent enough D but absolutely no resemblence of an offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted March 11, 2003 Why would anybody want to stay with the Clippers? They have no future they can never keep a head coach, they always are in the lottery draft, yet still never advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
