From the LeBron Parade

A video and post I have up at TrueHoop:
Clippers fans want you to understand that their devotion to their team isn’t an expression of irony, even if it might seem that way from the outside looking in. The emotional investment in the Clippers is serious even if the organization has done little over the years to earn it. What do Clippers fans derive from that investment? The faith that things will get better next season. That hope carries particular meaning this summer because the Clippers are sitting on a mound of cap space as the most heralded class of free agents in NBA history hits the open market.

King James and his Midwestern Kingdom
On May - 20 - 2010
With the suspense of the NBA Lottery now over, the hopes and dreams of the NBA wretched turn once again to LeBron. There are many exceptional players in the Association, but there are very few who can elevate a lottery team into a title contender by his mere presence. It is a testament to LeBron James’ prodigious talent that the choice of his next team will probably alter the NBA’s balance of power for years to come. The national media have been abuzz about LeBron’s potential destinations, of course, with nary a mention of the Clippers. Fortunately, both Kevin Arnovitz, on this site, and Steve Perrin over at Clips Nation, have made compelling cases for the Clippers as a possible destination for King James and his championship aspirations.
Clippers Get Pick 8
On May - 18 - 2010
The NBA Draft Lottery has concluded and the Los Angeles Clippers will select eighth in this year’s draft. Although the Clippers will choose right where they were scheduled to, the rest of the draft got a little crazy. The Washington Wizards will select first and the Philadelphia 76ers will select second, despite neither team being slated in the original top three odds wise.
We’ll have plenty more on the draft and the ramifications of the lottery shakeup in the upcoming days here at ClipperBlog.
