Damon Jones?

With Jason Williams retiring that leaves us with a "free" spot at PG I guess you can say. From this article it seems the Bucks won't bring Damon Jones in. He didn't do all that well in Cleveland most of the time. Maybe just in the wrong system?(Like Timmy with us I guess.)

Some of us aren't interested in Marbury, although I don't mind him. So perhaps this would be another player we can look into.

I wouldn't be mad if we got Damon Jones. Dude is good for a laugh, I know that much (off the court most of the time, I hope).

Dude is mad funny and is very loyal (to whatever team he is on at the moment).

Not sure if he has any PG skills though mostly looked at as a pure SG. I think we should take a look at Damon Stoudemire.

I thought the Clips might be a good fit for Jones when I saw this news. I have a feeling he'd like to play in Los Angeles and we definitely have a need at PG. There is no doubt he would help us spread the floor. Stoudamire is a good fit too. He and Dunleavy have had success together before.

Can't go wrong with either choice.

Jones- With Jones we get a the new Eddie House type player, on top of that he loves to go head up against the media who dismiss him or the team he is on. We could really use that going into the season with the media still saying we suck even if we go on long winnning streaks.

Stoudemire-Gives us that strong bench player ability that can be vital in the clutch. Wouldn't mind him at all on our team. Go Mighty Mouse!!!!

I'd rather go with Stoudemire, all Jones does is shoot 3s. Nothing else :(
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Damon Jones is a liability on the court even when he hits his 3s. Stoudamire is washed up also. I would rather put my money on Starbury.

I wouldn't mind DJ, he can hit the occasional trey-bomb when needed to.

With EG hurt now we need more of a combo guy who is a strong PG but can handle his buisness at SG. Like in his prime Fred Jones type guy.

Hopefully Indiana waives Tinsley, I want him here over Marbs, Damon and mostly over Stoudamire.
