All we need from Zach is 15/10 which I think he's capable of doing alongside either Kaman or Camby.

btw I so wish that GSW FO didn't match that contract we offered 'Buike. Our team would have been so thoro.

I know the numbers look sexy, but trust me, Zach ain't worth it. He slows everything down, the rest of your guys will get stagnant when he has the ball and off the court he's just as much a liability. He cares about his numbers more then he cares about wins. You don't want that around your young guys.

And wow if you guys go after Vince. They will be soft as hell, but you will have that entertainment value, that talkin about the squad thing going. But as I'm sure ya'll know, VC is beyond weak.

Then nothing will really change, because that's how the offense it now. Dunleavy seems to like it that way. Everthing is always a post-up ora pick-n-roll with nobody else moving. Randolph will fit right into the system.

Yeah, and Carter really doesn't interest me too much at this point. Especially for Kaman.

Gotta love Ralph. He truly is the eternal optimist. I guess you'd have to be with his job.

Well that sucks. The sooner we get this experiment started the better.

Time for a sig change

Get it done.

 

[lawdog1]

Well, at least there was a bright side in this latest loss. Gordon looked nice. Let's hope that's a sign of things to come.

BD is pound for pound one of the strongest players in the league..

EG can finally spread his wings.. Making a late case for ROY

 

[citybythesea]

Damn some tough loses, but we're 3 short on the roster. I've been pretty impressed how we've played the first 3 quarters, but we can't seem toget stops down the stretch.

Can't wait for ZBO to join the line-up.....and EG starts and drops 25? Cmon now DONEleavy....it was just common sense. How could everyone see his talent,but not his coach?

FREE DEANDRE JORDAN campaign anyone?

Kaman To Bobcats For J-Rich?

The L.A. Clippers would like to get the Zach Randolph deal signed and sealed so they can start tinkering with their lineup.

The deal, which saw Randolph and Mardy Collins arrive from New York in exchange for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley, has been delayed due to the Knicks having concerns about Mobley's heart.

Should the trade go through, according to J.A. Adande from ESPN.com, one source said the Clippers are talking to the Charlotte Bobcats about a package that would send Kaman to Charlotte for Jason Richardson. However, another Clippers' source said, "Kaman's not out there."

Via ESPN


Baron
J-Rich?
Thornton
Zach
Camby

bench:
Taylor
Gordon
Novak
Skinner
P.Davis

 

[i nasmatic i]

Clippers can get more for Kaman than that...plus Gordon looks lik a quality SG.

 

[citybythesea]

^I agree. Plus having an undersized 5 in Camby wouldn't be a good idea, since we don't have any true backup centers (or centers period, if we tradeKaman).

 

[citybythesea]

[h1]Mobley Fails Physical; Knicks Have Yet To Sign Off[/h1]Cuttino Mobley has failed the physical administered after he and Tim Thomas were traded to New York in exchange for Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins.
The delay was earlier described as a "paperwork" matter but it was revealed that the Knicks were investigating concerns about the condition of Mobley's heart.

Mobley will meet with another doctor on Tuesday.

The Knicks are not expected to void the deal. A team may waive the requirement that a player pass his physical to complete a trade.

Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins were forced to sit out Monday's game waiting for the trade to become final.

Mobley doesn't want to be a Knick.

Any possiblity hecan come back to LA

? Damn, that would be sweet.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

The Knicks want CAT's expiring contract so I doubt they will void the trade. PLus, I heard he's gonna see a specialist to get this matter cleared up.

I agree but we have a huge hole at the 2 spot and if Zach can give us close to 20/10 and Baron, Camby and Thornton can all contribute then I'dconsider this trade.

Personally, I wouldn't do the deal, if anything I would only trade Chris Kaman for an expiring contract or young talent/picks...I expect ZBoto put up close to 20/10 (if it helps the Clippers win is another matter), Baron, Thornton and Camby to contribute. Let Eric Gordon get his 35-38 minutes agame and have Mardy Collins back him up (assuming the trade goes through) till then.

And Ricky Davis can collect splinters on the bench

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Ricky and Hart need to be sent to the NBDL already

Evening Scoop: Kaman Deal Closer?

As we've been talking about for the better part of a week, the Charlotte Bobcats are serious in their pursuit of Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman. Even as things are starting to come together in their backcourt, where DJ Augustin has had stunning success playing alongside Raymond Felton, the team is still sorely deficient in the frontcourt . . .and still losing most nights.

The first deal discussed between the two teams was supposedly about Gerald Wallace, but the Clippers weren't ready to pull the trigger on that one. They even went so far as to deny there were talks, though we know now that there were. And even as the Clippers continue to say they're not looking to trade Kaman, the evidence is mounting on the side of them just looking to sweeten the deal.

Today reports have surfaced that the Bobcats have reached for the sugar.

According to ESPN, the Bobcats have now offered Jason Richardson as part of a package deal that would bring Kaman to Charlotte. Richardson would be a nice mentor for promising rookie Eric Gordon, and can score with the best of them. It would make a lot of sense for the Clippers, now overloaded with centers after the Zach Randolph trade, to cash in a tower in favor of some perimeter help.

It's clear both of these teams are in need of at least one major move to make them competitive, and it's probably just a matter of time (and maybe a few more Clippers losses) before something gets done.

 

[dako akong otin]

wow.. don't know about that. it would have been nice to see Gordon with more playing time... plus i'm enjoying using the Clippers in NBA Live on mypsp with Kaman, Camby, and Randolph starting

 

[mr jordan04]

they have a promo goin on for $5 tix to tomorrows game againts the nuggets

 

[reduce523]

They shouldnt trade Kaman.

 

[rfx45]

No way. Kaman is worth more than just Richardson.
He can also do more than Camby and not as injury prone.
I hate to say it, but it is only a matter of time before Camby gets hurt and be out and we'll be left with Skinner and Davis.

I guess with Richardson it will be a pretty solid team, on paper at least.
But I'd rather have Kaman, why are they so depserately trying to get rid of him?

 

[div1lbc]

I do think the Clips can get more for Kaman and I wouldn't mind if they traded him at all, as long as it's for the right price.

He's talented no doubt but he's just too damn frustrating to watch and makes too many mistakes that he shouldn't be making anymore. I don'tthink I've ever seen a center blow so many lay ups and point blank shots.
