Tyshawn Taylor Also Waived

Maybe worthy for consideration as a 10-Day Contract for the 3rd string backup position along with Waayns after Darius Morris' deal expires.

i too am intrigued with his enormous talent, but we should ask why he is getting waived from his chinese club when his stats appear to be their all-star quality. Ivan after all, has already been life-time-banned from KBL. i believe the reason he was banned for life from korean basketball league (not the dennis rodman kind, but the south korean pro league is what I'm talking about here) is a conduct detrimental to the team, and the league. wasn't he also considered a locker room cancer with the hawks?

maybe i am jumping the gun here, and doc maybe able to handle just about any personality, but i want to know why he is getting cut from Zhejiang first.
ehhhhh f it.

I am thinking along the same lines as Neddy, I have hoped the Clippers would pick up Ivan since the off season but he must really be acting a fool to get waived putting up those types of numbers.

Perhaps the failure to sign Morris to another 10 day deal means the Clips will be signing a big. Perhaps Johnson is a difficult guy in the locker room. If so, maybe they should stay away from him. However, I can guarantee you the Clips will need more front line toughness than they have right now in the playoffs. They have to sign somebody or get somebody in a trade. I'd rather have Johnson or Bynum than the status quo in terms of back up bigs on this team

15th Roster Spot

Actually, the Clippers can't sign Darius Morris to another contract without guaranteeing a contract for the rest of the year since he was on his 2nd 10-day contract with the team. If anything, the team will probably continue signing point guards to 10-day contracts until Chris Paul's return. The Clippers can offer Maalik Wayns a 2nd 10-day contract or they can sign someone like Tyshawn Taylor to his first with the club in order to buy more time before using the last roster spot for someone for the playoffs.

point taken about Morris

However, everybody must agree that there is significant lack of toughness in terms of back up bigs on this team that needs to be addressed. They don't really need another point guard, even with CP3 out. I think Crawford fills that position quite well actually. I can really see why the Bulls thought he should be a point guard. I know his mentality is to score, but he has all of the skills you need from a point guard.

We need to move Mullens and Jamison they both are wasting space at this point.

I definitely agree about Mullens, but Jamison can be serviceable here and there for some spot minutes. He at least knows how to play basketball. Can't really say that for Mullens

Turk played well tonight to only have one point. DJ has been playing to many minutes for me I fear he will burn out.
