Agree COMPLETELY. You don’t build character in the organization from the bottom up, it goes from the top down. Sterling has again proven to all free agents out their how he treats his employees, like sh*t. That will help him win the Elgin Baylor lawsuit (i.e. Sterling isn’t a racist, he is an ecumenical a**hole employer, but it certainly won’t make LeBron want to work for him.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was saying Dunleavy should be Exec of the Year and Coach of the Year. The Clips had made the 2nd round of the playoffs and decisions were FINALLY being made for basketball reasons rather than financial reasons. Dunleavy was the first outsider to wrest control from Roeser and Sterling. In Clipperland that was a monumental accomplishment and sign of progress.

It’s amazing how quickly the wheels fell off. It all started with Daniel Ewing, right? Followed by Livingston’s injury, Brand’s defection. Then there were the big money deals to Dunleavy, Kaman, and Baron. Then there was Griffin’s injury.

At the end of the day, KA totally nailed the problem and the problem is the top of the organization. The other thing we’re seeing is that Olshey was the guy who got to discuss deals but Dunleavy and Roeser/Sterling had veto power. The organization is still dysfunctional. It will always be dysfunctional as long as that jackass who hijacked the team from San Diego 26 years ago is still alive. (Kudos to reporters who likened the maliciously-worded firing to some shenanigan Al Davis would pull. Birds of a losing feather.)

“When I jumped to block the shot, I looked down and saw that there was a hole in my knee.”
– Greg Oden, recalling to the Indianapolis Star his latest season-ending knee injury. Oden started light jogging this week for the first time since fracturing the patella in his left knee last December.

My prediction:
Clippers first hire a GM that is unproven and will be pretty crappy

Said crappy GM will hire a crappy coach

Together they will manage to use the cap space to give Rudy Gay a Max
player deal he doesn’t deserve when we lose out on the top tier free
agents

Jason Powell will continue to have a job as Clippers trainer even
though its his fault we have all these “freakish unlucky
one-in-a-million injuries”

End result – Clippers go 20 and 62 again next year and Blake Griffen
never plays a game for LAC due to injuries and the Clippers jinx.

We will also resign Baron Davis because he sucks ass and thats what we deserve.

Doesn’t matter what changes you make in the front office until you get rid of the constant in all the clipper woes, “Donald Sterling”.

Hoopshype is saying that the Clippers are gonna offer Lebron to pick the GM and coach. I guess it can’t hurt and it’s a unique approach, but there’s still Sterling.
