Singleton Racks up 10 Personal Fouls in a Single Game

...at least according to this box score in a summer league loss against Golden State. The good news for Jumpin' James is that he led all scores with 21, shot 8-12 from the field, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked 3 shots. Daniel Ewing is getting serious minutes - 32 against Golden State, then another 30 the next night vs. the C's. He shot 9-14 against Boston.

Problem: In two games, the Clips turned the ball over 50 times. Yeah, it's summer league - but GS & BOS combined for only 34. Shaun alone racked up 8 against GS.

Dark horses getting big minutes? Scott Merritt, formerly of Marquette. As the starting center on that Final Four team with D-Wade, he put together a nice tournament as a junior. There doesn't appear to be a helluva lot of room for a 6'10" forward in the frontcourt - especially once the Clippers sign Paul Davis. But he and UNC's Jawad Williams are clearly getting a look. For the record, Williams was unimpressed with Danny Granger during last summer's workouts.

Dammit! John took my triple-double line!

Too bad we're missing the EXCELLENT hoops in Vegas. The Suns-Pistons game Monday had 96 fouls called. And Bargnani recorded HIS first NBA double-double on Sunday.... 12 points, 10 fouls.

</i>76ers GM Billy King won't even waste energy trying to hide the fact that he'd send Allen Iverson to the Los Angeles Clippers in a heartbeat for Corey Maggette and young phenom Shaun Livingston. But King may not know that mutiny would take place at the Staples Center and some of L.A.'s officials would contemplate quitting if coach Mike Dunleavy and GM Elgin Baylor elected to jeopardize the team's ascension in favor of star appeal.

Ok, 98% of me says the Clips don't pull the trigger on this, but if it never happens, I'll always be left wondering what would have happened if, just for once, AI actually had been on a team with 4 other viable scoring options.

Never really been too interested in Summer League games, but starting to.

In Yahoo's current Team-by-Team transaction article:

Los Angeles Clippers - Re-signed guard Sam Cassell to a two-year
contract; signed forward Tim Thomas, who had been with the
Phoenix Suns.

Nice to know that we're taking care of business and not necessarily in need of some crazy trades to get better.

NO WAY THE CLIPS GIVE UP SHAUN AND COREY for an aging AI. Would a cross-hallway scoring-title battle be interesting? Sure, but it'll get realy old real fast.

Clips just need to get conditioned and get accustomed to playing Mike-D B-ball. Sit back and watch the other teams screw with their own chemistry

Rudy Gay certainly has a lot of upside, but the Memphis trade seems crazy to me. Shane Battier (a six pick) has done nothing but play hard and contribute every night for four years and now he's being traded for a number eight pick?! Okay, I'm Duke biased, but still.
