Sam I Am or Cutino. Could it get any worse than it is now? Give Sam 2 years to turn it around. Start with E.G., KAMAN, Zach and Baron and build from their. If B.D. doesn't want to play defense, sit his ass. See how much he like watching this train wreck. Nobody is buying Dunlevy's plan. Why are we going to keep fighting this thing? Change the culture. Hire a coach with swagger. What do wehave to lose? We need a YOUNG coach. Sam I Am or Cutino. Could it get any worse than it is now? Give Sam 2 years to turn it around.

And don't forget that he is from LA and he wants to become a Hollywood player - more incentive to sign with a bad Clipper franchise. EB, Maggette, Cassell, Z-Bo, Camby all arrived via trade. So I find it hard to believe that any solid free agent is going to want to play for the Clipper organization any time soon, especially with Dunleavy as coach/GM. The only way the Clippers can truly rebuild, in my opinion, is through the draft. Gordon was a nice pick, as is DeAndre Jordan. Thornton seems to have regressed a bit. Livingston was on his way to a solid career and then the horrific injury happened. Kaman is serviceable (but not at his current salary). Odom, Q-Rich, and D-Miles had the ability but were just basket cases. However, Dunleavy was also responsible for the drafting of Korolev over an All-star player in Danny Granger, which made absolutely no sense then or now. Then again, Adam Morrison was drafted ahead of Brandon Roy so sometimes you never know. Korolev over Granger has to be one of the worst calls in recent draft history. Drunk analysis is awesome. And Baron Davis is the new A.I. - You'll never win anything with him. And his movie career will suck too.

Then Dunleavy screwed that up and tried to smear the egg on Baron's face. Im over the excuses. With Dunleavy, its never his fault. It's Corey Maggette's fault. Wait, I mean its Elgin Baylor's fault. Erm, scratch that, its Elton Brands fault. No, it's David Faulk's fault for being Elton's agent. It's AT&T's fault because MDSr sent a text message that never got replied to. Well, we've had injuries too. And Chris Kaman's shoes created problems with his arch, they are at fault. I mean basically the guy never owns up to anything and blames it on someone or something else. Fact is: Dunleavy is a career loser. Look at his coaching stats, he cant event coach .500 ball. He wants to cite obscure numbers to show that we are improving, heres an obscure set of numbers for Coach Dumbleavy - 561 wins and 605 losses. It's spring. Time to clean the house.

Are you serious? If we had Jeff Van Gundy coaching this team would be 39-11 and not 11-39. It's most definitely the Coach...and GM thats the problem here. Dunleavy should have been fired last year after he pissed off his whole team by playing everyone against each other. Premature? Are you serious?

It was a long time ago, but it seemed significant at the time. Granted he's been struggling, but we'll see what happens there. I'm not ready to give up on him yet either. Besides, switching coaches mid-season won't change the Clips appeal to free agents. The only thing that will change there status in this league (and city) is winning. Your right though that the Clips are not really a place that players want to be. And that makes it that much more amazing that Dunleavy managed to get so much talent on the roster. Now we just have to see if he can get them to win. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a NEVER fire Dunleavy or trade Baron guy. But I think it's only fair to give Mike a chance to lead the team he built (sans a ridiculous number of injuries). I think this guy named Baron something-or-other came here as a free agent.
