Rory White to receive NBDL Head Coaching Position

It appears Rory White is out as an assistant with the Clips, as the NBDL's Dakota Wizards have hired him to be their head coach.
This creates an opening along the bench for Mike Dunleavy, who currently lists Kim Hughes, Tony Brown, and Fred Vinson as assistants. The Clippers have traditionally gone with at least four. Quite a turnaround from last year's staff, as only Hughes and Vinson will return and Jim Eyen (Sacramento), Neal Meyer (Cleveland), and White will depart. Meyer has not officially been added to the Cavs' bench, but he has been taken off the Clippers' assistant list.

There's about 5 or so rookie correspondent clips with Blake on NBA.com

Here are a couple. The rest should be on the first page of the video section as well.

Interviewing Baron Davis

Also, former Clipper Spirit member, Taylor, makes an appearance inside the current issue of Shape magazine. She's not actually on the cover, but in a feature on the back inside cover called "You in Shape." I haven't seen it myself, so I'm going by what Steve of Clips Nation said.

Remember how Baron supposedly started last season 20-lbs lighter because he was on Jenny Craig? My assumption is that he gained that back over the course of the season... :noway: ...and I don't see how he could've lost a bunch of weight this summer, seeing how he's been overseas for almost all of it. His arms do look yoked though-- could be from training, could be an optical illusion from his pretty man-lady shirt. Time will tell.

:lol: Yeah I was mostly looking at his arms. I don't remember them being that big last season. I guess time will tell how committed he is to improving his game.

Baron claimed to be 212 about a month ago and supposedly has worked out during his vacation.

I really hope Baron has lost some weight, if he hasn't he's gonna be injured again this season :(
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Here's a new interview from Blake. He says that his shoulder feels OK despite the rumor going around right now.

Seems like we are almost set to get Sessions at this point. I hope we trade Telfair before releasing Taylor

I think is the best place to ask. I have asked this before as well, but I was wondering if there was any updates on Nik Caner-Medley?

I haven't seen/heard anything on him. It probably won't be much news on him until possibly training camp.

Baron, DJ, EJ & Bassy are all out in Vegas right now at Tim Grgurich's summer camp. Baron is doing a little coaching. The players have a couple of workouts (skills training and scrimmages) a day. Adrian Wojnarowski said EJ has looked great.

Here's an article from this year's camp that describes what goes on and who participates.

I know it's too much information, but it's good that these guys are hanging out and working hard in preparation for the upcoming season.
