I think what Kenji meant was to not waste a good lottery pick on “potential”. That’s what I meant when I wrote my comment (#4). DeAndre has a great upside and he was taken in the 2nd Round. His “potential” looks much brighter than what Olowokandi had during his days and we didn’t have to waste a lottery pick on DeAndre.

Look at the game logs and who he plays against/how much they play/ how tall they are…. you’re silly

Ive been ready heavy on Blake and every where I read he is a franchise type player. He’s a coaches son. I mean the guy is coming out with a hat that says “Work” on the front. That is the antithesis to this recent Clipper team’s reputation. He is everything this franchise is not. ….He is coming with a better pedigree and work ethic then Dwight Howard. …he ….is my hero…he and Gordon. Seriously though. You can start with just those two alone and and create a fantastic core.

Blake is definately the way to go.

I would seriously only, at this point, consider trading for Howard or Lebron. Thats a bold statement, I know. But its about time this franchise makes a statement and stands on it.

i hope you noticed that those teams have the strong big men pulling down the boards and blocks you said DJ doesn’t do..also, not all those teams are small ball. Toronto? Utah? Sota? Lakers? Please, give me a break. You don’t know anything if you think those teams are small ball.

how’s the idea of trading Kirk Hinrich and Luol Deng for Randolph and maybe someone like Alex Acker or Ricky Davis

Hoops hype projects the Clippers at 56mill in salary next year with just 10 players under contract. Are you sure you couldn’t use the two mill+ in salary relief you could get by buying Atkins out for 760K? Presti has authorized me to include a really nice fruit basket as part of the deal.

I do hope you noticed that all of the games that you posted were against up-tempo small ball teams….

Thabo’s ability to defend all wing scorers regardless of size is extremely valuable, and is something the Clippers simply don’t have. To give up pick 1, we’re going to need multiple players who can contribute right away. Chucky Atkins’ expiring contract is simply not big enough to justify acquiring him in place of someone who can contribute night in and night out.

If I’m still playing GM, I say NO DEAL! *Slams the window shut on the red button*

On behalf on Thunder fans everywhere, I would like to accept your trade offer for Griffin with just one adjustment- you can’t have Thabo. You can however, have Chucky Atkins. Atkins has an expiring contract for 3.4 million (to make the salaries even out) that carries a buy-out clause for $760,000. We get to keep our Swiss-connection and you guys get to trim a couple million in payroll. Deal?
