The immediate future seems to depend on that."</blockquote> Well said (and well written, too.) Like it or not, Baron is our best shot at a successful 09/10 season. Griffin will be great, but rookies don't carry teams in this league (Durant had a phenominal rookie year, and that was good for a 20 win season.) Gordon is an all-star in the making, but he's a complimentary player. Thornton is too one dimensional. If this team is to exceed my (admittedly low) expectations for the upcoming season, it will only happen because Baron plays better than we hope he does. I want to believe it can happen, but I've been a Clipper fan for a very long time. Lost in all the Richardson/Telfair/Sessions talk is the possibility that Craig Smith could still develop into a very good player.

He did mention he was fine backing up Baron, just not Telfair. Sessions is apparently willing to come to LA, but doesn’t want to share the PG time with Telfair.

Hell, I liked watching Andre Miller more...

They look like they just want to save cash this season, not play basketball. I dont even think Memphis would spend money at Wal Mart this off season.
