		<description>Dunleavy has been the GM for the last 6 years.  He only agreed to come to the Clippers if they drafted Kaman.</description>

		<description>With this team even Dunleavy can achieve some success if he&#039;s willing to try:

Starting 5(consistant; win or lose)
1. Camby- 30min.
2. Baron- 35min.
3. Kaman- 35 min.
4. Thornton- 38min
5. E.Gordon- 30min.

The Bench:(with approx.min.)
6. Mobley- 20min.
7. T.Thomas- 15min.
8. Mike Taylor- 18min.
9. B.Skinner-12min.
10. R.Davis- 20min.
11.P.Davis- 12min.

We have a Coach who belives in &#039;hierarchy&#039;. He wants highly paid players to play more minutes win or lose. Other than that... he doesn&#039;t know a bit about sports.</description>

		<description>magic is already a minority owner of the lakers.  relax, fellas.

i guess a few of you summed it up before the season... saying that it was going to be a huge success or a huge disaster.  I was more the optimist.   But boy was i wrong.  

The lack of energy and flow on the court is mind-boggling.  It takes 16 seconds of the shot clock just for them to get the ball to Mobley or Thornton on an isolation play... ridiculous.  Kill me if the clipps dont show up against san antonio.  i&#039;m dying to sell those tickets.  i&#039;m sure there are zero takers here .  

There was a promotion in place w/ the clippers where season ticket holders could get their money back on season tickets if they didnt like the direction of the team by opening night.  If they gave me the chance today, i&#039;d throw the tickets back in their faces.</description>

		<description>Magic has WAY too much going on to be a GM too. At least it seems that way. If he became a GM I&#039;d see him leaning more towards Jordanesque territory (aka bad) than Dumars territory.</description>

		<description>IMO, coaching is not the problem. They need a General Manager with vision &amp; drive to succeed. Elgin Baylor didn&#039;t have any. That&#039;s why this team spent decades in a pickle jar. 

Asking MD to take charge as GM will further complicate the issue. Let him coach but make him work under a powerful GM. Why not try MAGIC JOHNSON?
Donald Sterling need to get out of his comfort zone and talk to Magic.
It&#039;s not too late.</description>

		<description>To salvage this season, and perhaps the franchise for the next few years, DTS should

1) Come to a meeting of the minds with MD, have MD save face and say that he thinks it&#039;s in the best interest of the team for him to focus on &quot;GM&quot; duties full time.  This should solve the coaching problem, DTS&#039;s contract commitment with MD, while giving MD a way to save some pride.  Keeping MD as GM is not a bad idea with 2010 coming around and his ability to get DTS to spend (although DTS&#039;s confidence level in recruiting talent in MD may be reaching critical mass).

2) Hire Hubie Brown out of the TV booth for the remainder of the season.  Hubie&#039;s old, but good.  By starting midway into the season and not being playoff bound, this season won&#039;t be so taxing for him and current expecations are low.  Hubie is venerable and successful, so the vets should buy into him.  The young guys will automatically respect him because of his near-legend coaching status.  Having Hubie come in is like dialing 911.

3) During the offseason, the Clips can look for a good, younger yet proven coach (Van Gundy, Avery) to take over for the aged Hubie.  They need a motivational coach with a better sense for offense without compromising D.

4) Getting the Clips to bounce back soon and strong to help set up next season&#039;s play will be crucial to their recruiting success in 2010. They need a top flight power forward and/or a lights-out, dependable scorer.  Failing to succeed in signing a great free agent in 2010 will likely doom the fanchise to mediority or worse for years to come.</description>

		<description>Alvin Gentry gave the Cipper Nation one(and only)exciting season with Darius
Miles &amp; Co. But when Clippers prepared to replace him with Dunleavy, Gentry literally gave Clipper Nation several worst games of his life. Ofcourse, he was angry &amp; tried to mess with that team.

Same thing is happening right now. Looks like Sterling wants to get rid of Dunleavy &amp; Kaman. And start over on better turf.

That is possible if Sterling offers MAGIC JOHNSON 10% ownership+GM position.
Imagine the difference that would make. If Clippers are steered by Magic, he can restructure this club for good.</description>
