For four games in January, the Clippers gave Fortson a chance to soak up some NBA minutes while Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups and Mo Williams nursed themselves back to health. Of those minutes, a few were actually “meaningful” as a result of the injury situation, but the majority came during a blowout loss t[...]

By virtue of making the team as a 2nd-round pick and providing non-negative value, Thompkins gets a passing grade for his first NBA half season. The rap on him coming out of college was that his body had a long way to go, and perhaps the requisite work ethic wasn’t there.  But after positive reviews in an abbrevi[...]

Reggie Evans is a great PF/C to have for 10-15 minutes a night. He can’t guard anyone, he isn’t a weakside shotblocking threat, he can’t shoot (from the field or from the foul line) and he has bad hands. But he can rebound on both ends like a madman. Before Kenyon Martin’s acquisition, the Clippers were asking a bit to[...]

The Clippers are planning to sign Simmons out of the D-League to a 10-day contract after the All-Star break, according to sources close to the situation. Simmons, 31, is averaging 13.5 p[...]

It’s all very exciting until he finds himself trapped underneath the basket, with two giants hounding him tow[...]

Caron came into this season as the Clippers’ new answer at SF with Al-Farouq Aminu traded away and Ryan Gomes being Ryan Gomes. He also came in on a 3-year, $24 million contract, while coming off of knee surgery at the age of 31. Despite the age and surgery (and reputation as a bit of a gunner), Caron has filled his ro[...]

  We take stock of the Clippers. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are very different kinds of stars. How’s Vinny Del Negro faring? That depends on what you’re rating. Neil Olshey has emerged as a heavy favorite for Executive of the Year. The early returns on Kenyon Martin have been favorable. While youR[...]
