IDK, a Pargo/Davis backcourt seems a little too undisciplined to me. I'd rather tell Cassell he can coach in two years if the comes back to the Clippers.

**** Mo Evans!


I agree

However, I wonder if Dunleavy has a good relationship or bad relationship with Bonzi from the Blazer days. Odds are, the two didn't get along considering the way Bonzi was behaving back then

Big disappointment not getting Azubuike, but its not like I'm totally shocked. Azubuike is a good player for 3mil a year.

Guess we'll have to see what else Dunleavy has up his sleeve. I'm sure he has a backup plan and I hope its something that will be pleasantly surprising. I think we are one good player away from being a real threat in the west (and Azubuike would have filled that roll).

I hope we aren't done yet...I don't want to see the same scenario as last year, where the team just kept filling spots with D league players and unwanted journeymen.

How much cap relief is your team looking for?

I'll be surprised if the Hornets don't reach some kind of agreement with Jannero Pargo --- but I've always liked him and would be glad to see him a Clipper if that should prove possible.
What a shame about Azubuike. I was trying to figure out which day it was that the Warriors time ran out for matching, and then this happens.
Well, I expect Dunleavy has some ideas. He's been pulling rabbits out of hats for about five weeks now, so I hope he won't stop here.

I'm disappointed on missing out on Azubuike. Damn you Mo Evans :evil: Dunleavy said he had a backup plan so we'll have to see how that plays out. Ramona Shelburne (Daily News) said in her blog that she's expecting to get word on a free-agent signing later on tonight so we shall see.

A hit below the belt with the miss on Azibuike. There are fewer options left for the Clips to get to like Bonzi Wells for instance. Maybe the Clips can pull a trade to get a SF on the squad.

Yeah, i would've liked Azubuike as well, but you probably can't get everything you wish for.

I'm wondering who that free agent could be. Maybe Maurice Evans will join us? Or will they re-sign Ross/Williams?
One guy i'd like as well would be Kirk Snyder.

I guess we'll see...

Synder, JR or Bonzi better be on our radar.

I wouldn't mind getting Jr Smith. If Bonzi doesn't have a good relationship with Dunleavy then Bonzi doesn't need to come to our team.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Damnit, I like Azubuike and wanted him to go to LAC. I hate seeing him on that 'Warriors' team.

We don't have the MLE to spend on him and even if we did, he probably would be matched by Denver.
