When I say relevant, I mean giving the team a chance to win on any given night (when he took his motivation pills) I'm not talking about national coverage or box office draw, I'm talking about not being crappy.

You were suckling at Baron's man-teats along with everyone else during the playoff run last year, so don't get all holy'er than thou.

Don't make me go diggin in the crates. The posts are there. You jumped on the bandwagon as hard as anyone for a while there. We talked about it directly and you were very forthright about your frontrunning. Don't hide from it now. You loved winning as much as any fan should. I'll probably do the same if the Gilber show got us to the conference finals.

But don't pretend you didn't like not being garbage. You were a chubby chaser too for a while back there. Own it. :wink:

How many times did I say * I MISS THE DROUGHT YEARS* ?

I never felt like this team was playing the right way..

Did I lose my sense of direction in the middle of the mavs series? Sure..But I was never happy about the new crowds...They sucked donkey balls!!

You've never been afraid to change your lipitor addled mind, and I think we all kind of respect you for that, but don't pretend it never happend. We all had the mancrush for a while.

Better to have loved and lost . . .

You were humping his leg with everyone else this season too. You were tossing his salad right up until you went to that game where he didn't warm up.

No one holds it against you. Just don't be a liar.

Bad memory? You or me? You were on the jock this season until he dissapointed you in warmups. We discussed it at length.

I'm not mad, I don't fell betrayed. He was supposed to leave, and he got the offer he was looking for. I've never been mad at a player for getting paid, not even Gil. It's their career, their body, their life, not mine. I'm happy that we have capspace, but I would have preferred to keep Mullin's hands off of it, that's the extent of my emotional response to this.

I just like undercutting you when you get self righteous.

I don't think they'll necessarily suck, but I do think they're going to have a hell of a lot of cash bet on some pretty big injury risks. That is one serious house of cards. So they might be very good (I'd guess still not good enough to get out of the west), but they also might suck if someone gets hurt, and if they do they'll suck AND have a hard time fixing things.

I wish I could agree that the Clips will suck, but they won't (unless one two or three of them get hurt). Baron, Gordon, Thornton, Brand, Kaman, is a big, strong, athletic, starting 5. If Gordon can be a lights out shooter, he opens things up for the inside guys. They can rebound with anyone in the league.

That's a pretty scary team if you ask me, but still not as good as Lakers, Spurs, Jazz, Hornets.

Hmm I think the only teams better are Lakers, Hornets, Celtics, and that's about it unless someone else makes a crazy signing. Wizard are going to suck now that they've locked in all that money to Jamison. Problem with us is we've used up all our money and we don't have much depth. Maybe we can do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 trade of Mobley or Thomas to a team that wants some cap space in 2010.

And so the groggy morning after irrationality of post-Baron Davis acquisition and awakening from NBA basketball hibernation begins anew....

This sounds like a Warrior fan after the 2007 playoff run/

Warriors blew it....

Can't blame Baron.

Wow... frikkin, dumbest move. Starts the Gugliotta years now.
Clippers will be good; if they click they will be the 3rd best team in the West.
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get Artest as part of a 3 way with Maggette....

Baron was among the assist leaders without any low post high% guy to feed. If LAC pulls this off only losing Magette they kick our cheap young tails for at least 4 more years. Beyond that we need to worry about Portland.

To add Baron, Brand or Maggette has to be renounced--which means totally gone-no S+T possible.
It seems they expect to get Brand to also take a $5 mill pay cut. You can speculate on what secret payoffs make guys pass on maybe $10 mill more. Adding Baron,keeping Brand (no Maggette) and signing Gordon is about all they can do,and that's plenty. Having a real PG makes everyone else better.

WarFan · Post #38 » by **WarFan** » Wed Jul 2, 2008 5:45 am

I wouldn't be that surprised to see this turn into a S&T still. Right now LAC are completely capped out with no MLE and a pretty thin bench. If they convince Mullin to make it a S&T of Mobley, Gordon and picks (could be something else like Jordan, but this would be my guess) they don't have to renounce Maggette and can still sign more depth with the MLE. It depends on how ready they think Gordon is this year, how much money Sterling really wants to spend, and whether the LA FO thinks that they would be more competitive for the the next few years with Maggette and the MLE or Mobley and Gordon. Jackson and/or Harrington could also be included for Thomas/Knight as well.

BD is the man, i just hope the L.A lifestyle doesn't get to his head.
I just don't want him pullin off some fake injuries for a movie debut, or production.
He seems like the guy who cares about his life after basketball, then basketball itself.
Just don' want the clips fans coming back here and telling us, that Baron is terrible and that
we should have him back. or something like that, cause I'm happy now that he's goen, before i was veryvery upset. Call me BIPOLAR. but thinking about it for the franchise and for our youngs, Baron leaving was the best decision for both parties. .MY favorite player gets to play where he wants and my favorite franchise gets some relief and gets to develop its youth properly
