Jones averaged 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 19.6minutes with the Clippers.

...

I'm surprised they cut Paul Davis..guess this means a trade is imminent and more PT for DeAndre Jordan

 

[daprescription]

I still can't believe they gave that dunk content to that bum Jones

This must mean that some other people are definitely on the way. Davis was one of the few healthy bodies they have left. No way the cut himunless the team knows for sure someone is going to be replacing him. I bit surprised by the Jones thing. I thought Dunleavy was generally pretty happy withhow he played since he signed. Again, it must be because someone else is coming.

Here is something I just read on line. I'm not so sure I like this for the Clippers, as, notwithstanding the Baron signing, I have no confidence in themlanding any real coveted free agents.
From http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11126http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=11126

Reports from the New York Daily News this morning suggest the Knicks covet Clipper's big man Marcus Camby, and may be involved in a three-way tradediscussion with the Blazers and Clippers. Although Knicks president Donnie Walsh denied the rumor last night, despite multiple sources saying it was beingdiscussed. For the Knicks end, they are rumored to be sending out Lee and possibly Quentin Richardson, and would return Camby and possibly Channing Frye. TheBlazers would pick up David Lee, with the Clippers likely getting Richardson and or the ending contract of injured Raef LaFrentz. Insurance begins payingLaFrentz's final 41 games in just a couple of weeks making him an ending deal, which has no salary payments attached, making him a free player for theClippers. Such a move would then put the Clippers under the salary cap this July where they could look to retool using LaFrentz space and some of their rosterduplication. There is also a belief that Donnie Walsh may covet Clipper's point guard Baron Davis and may be willing to move the ending contract of StephonMarbury should the Clippers show interest in a deal. The only way that works is if Clippers GM and head coach Mike Dunleavy concedes that the long rumoredconflict between him and Baron Davis is unrepairable, and chooses to dump him on the Knicks. Acquiring the ending deal of Raef LaFrentz and the ending deal ofStephon Marbury would put the Clippers roughly $20 million under next year's expected salary cap. And for the salary cap fiends out there - The Knicksgetting Marcus Camby, Channing Frye, Ricky Davis and Baron Davis, The Clippers getting Stephon Marbury and Raef LaFrentz, The Blazers getting Jason Hart, DavidLee and Brian Skinner - works under the cap.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

We better not deal Camby.

Also, I hope we can re-sign F.Jones after Wednesday. P.Davis pissed me off alot this season so good riddance playa.

 

[Los Angeles]

damn cambys been ballin.

dunleavy has no idea what hes doing

 

[youngjordan23]

The knicks can actually make the playoffs if this happens.. only thing is wouldn't takin baron's contract hurt there salary cap plans

I think the idea is that Camby's trade value is very high right now and, at 34, he's not part of the long range plans. Trading him forplayers with expiring contracts will clear cap space. All that said, I still don't like it. Making this move basically is a concession that the team isyears away from even being a playoff contender. I don't know if I agree with that. Also, I don't know how much sense it makes for the Clippers toclear cap space. The Davis signing notwithstanding, what are the chances that this team can sign and really big FAs in the next couple years? Not that greatif you ask me.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Jones starts one day and is waived the next? You know you franchise is in trouble when...

Samb to the rescue!

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Stackhouse and Josh Howard for Camby and Tim Thomas.

Stack's contract expires after this year and Josh's does next year.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

I think once Zbo, Kaman, Taylor and Barren come back trading Camby will be a non-issue. Too bad they all might return around or after the trade deadline.

 

[rfx45]

It definitely is a surprise that out of all the 3 centers, Camby is the one that stayed healthy but damn, we can't lose Camby.
Desperate move from an injury plagued team.
I still got hope for the Clips.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

No way we trade Steph's expiring for Baron Davis.

That would just be dumb.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Baron Davis just got a new 5 yr contract. Hell no Walsh would jeopardize 2010's cap space

Tim thomas isn't with the clippers

"I'm looking to trade 20-rebound guys every day," Dunleavy said sarcastically. "I liked Marcus before we got him. I love him even more now."

Hopefully, that's not just posturing by Dunleavy.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

DMiles just got waived by Memphis. Maybe we can re-acquire him for p'nuts.

Clippers Acquire Adams From Toronto

The Los Angeles Clippers today acquired guard/forward Hassan Adams and cash considerations from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a future conditional second round draft pick. An Inglewood native who played at Westchester High School, Adams has appeared in 12 games with Toronto this season, averaging 0.9 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.1 assists in 4.3 minutes per game. Adams, 24, was originally drafted in the second round (54th overall) of the 2006 NBA Draft by New Jersey after a stellar career at the University of Arizona. Adams played in 61 games and made eight starts for the Nets in 2006-07, averaging 2.9 points per game. Adams spent the 2007-08 season in Italy, playing with Ignis Draghi Novara and Siviglia Wear Teramo before signing with the Raptors as a free agent on July 8, 2008.
