Thank God Brand is gone – I’d HATE to be on the hook for 80 million in the state that Brand is in. I’ll take Zach Randolph over that washed up schmuck any day and twice on Sunday. prostat kanseri, prostat büyümesi, kronik prostat iltihabına bitkisel çözüm sunan Healthy Prostat Formula Türkiye satış sitesi.

Maggette was one of the most energetic and productive Clippers had for at least last four years. He never quitted on a game. He never had to be motivated by anyone. But GSW did not really need Maggette. Their whole team plays only on offensive end and very little D. Corey is not a cure for that.
I think he would be helpful if he remained with us. Whenever Clippers went into a scoring drought, he usually solved that problem by being aggressive. Selfish or not, somebody has to be in charge at the end of the close game. Complete Unselfishness can be harmful as it is with Clippers. When Baron passed the ball to Camby against Denver for 3 pointer? Unselfish yes, but was it the best decision? He should have been selfish at that point and take it to the rim.

And Thornton… Wasn’t he making 3s last year? Or Dunleavy does not ask him to practice that anymore?
I am thankful for that LAC-NYK trade.

Maggs is Maggs and regardless of whats written and whats said he played hard and long for the Clips, albeit in his own style. Take a least 6 wins off last seasons tally if he wasn’t on court.

I used to think Maggette was going to be an All Star. Year after year. Waiting for that game to round out beyond just strong yet wild forays to the hoop. Never happened. Never will. Good riddance at that money.

Unfortunately Thornton will never be any better a scorer, and will be just as poor an all around player.

Oh yeah, Dunleavey is the worst coach in the league, inflexible, arrogant, and overbearing. Unfortunately, the one year the players actually bought into the system, we almost knocked the Suns out of the playoffs in the 2nd round. He unfortunately picks the wrong personality players who will never conform to him (Baron Davis, Tim Thomas, Ricky Davis, et.al.) unlike Jerry Sloan in Utah.

And yet I watch every game…

Leave Maggette alone. Please. We’ve got handful of problems right here in LA.
Heaven’s sake don’t drag GSW into our ditch.

Your owner made a huge mistake.

Instead of re-signing Baron, who was prefect for your style of play, for what would’ve been a reasonable deal you drive him into the arms of the Clippers with a low ball offer.

Then you go fully stupid and offer Brand 105 million, which is so ridiculously off the scale it’s absurd, and then decide to give Maggette 50 million (both moves are clearly part attempted payback for losing Baron to the Clippers, which is not being smart about doing business).

Why would you need Maggette when you already have Jackson, Azubuike, and Ellis – THREE better players than Maggette! – to cover the 2 and 3?!

Now you’re stuck with Maggette and sorely miss Baron, especially in light of Monta’s injury.

And we are stuck with a disgruntled, moody, sulking Baron because the boy isn’t getting it exactly his way.

At least we can move Baron if we decide he’s a waste of time but you guys are pretty much with Maggette.

warriors season ticket holder here. maggette is damn awful, especially on D, but most GS fans knew this coming into the season. that Nellie continues to give him minutes like he’s some rock of the franchise is what’s so surprising and confusing. he’s easily the worst crunch-time player i’ve ever seen in person.

But the key to success to the Clippers in future years to come is responsibility of the LA Clippers team ownership to operate in NBA Drafts and Free Agency. Key to their success relies upon GM, Head Coach, Owner, President, and Vice President to handle situations like what we got now. If someone does something wrong someone has to be held upon accountable for it and I think that Donald T Sterling needs a wake up call because if he hasn’t that is why Mike Dunleavy hasn’t been fired yet because of a disjointed ball club at the moment. Right now since I haven’t blamed Dunleavy for this it is all on Donald T. Sterling I put the blame on him because he controls the franchise not Dunleavy but the problem is that Sterling and Andy Roeser allows Dunleavy to do too much for this organization and they need to keep it under control.

Waughtang said, “This is a massive rebuilding year. If we win 20 and come out with a great early pick…”

I cant take another year of talking about NEXT YEAR. We’ve been talking about next year every year except 2006. It’s really a horrible, horrible situation the Clippers find themselves in. I’m so tired of talking about what the potential of this guy is… how well a rookie is playing… or how Clippers.com put it: having a “streak of competitiveness”.

The games are still watchable, which is the only bright spot… even though the pain is starting to numb from the heartbreakers, it still hurts some.

…and someone please tell Clipper Darryl to stop chanting MVP when Baron Davis comes to the free throw line. I think Devin Harris is a far better MVP candidate at this point. It’s sad to say that BAron isn’t even sniffing the discussion… just like Maggette will never sniff an all-star game at 25ppg.

It’s getting too funny maybe someday Dunleavy might take Sterlings spot for Clipper owner.
