I smell a trade coming, why would Leslie get recalled now? Could it be true that Bledsoe & Gomes for Crawford may be more true than just rumours?

That's certainly a possibility, but I think it has to do with the Clippers being back home. They assigned him to the D-League when they began the road trip, now they'll have 5 more home games before heading back out on the road.

Anyone know how he did in the D-league? Stats-wise?

Leslie averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per game.

55.8% shooting and 66.7% from the foul line.

I wish he could get his free throw percentage up. Hopefully we will play him if we can blow teams out.
