Around the NBA

Not saying I would necessarily do it, but if push came to shove, I wonder if a sign-and-trade of DeAndre Jordan packaged with Jamal Crawford for DeMarcus Cousins and Darren Collison would satisfy George Karl. Karl and Crawford's Seattle roots could facilitate such a move, plus, DJ exhibits a lot of the athleticism--if not skill--reminiscent of Shawn Kemp in his prime. Coach Karl had his best days with the Supersonics led by Kemp and Gary Payton.

david west opts out? Any chance he would come to the clippers for the cheap? Seems like he wants to win. Not sure what his relationship with Stephson was. Know he's good with CP3.

Like that deal for the Hornets. MKG and Batum on the wing? Nasty. Could lead to a Myles Turner or Kaminski moving into that slot or them moving out for more help.

[Ranma]

I agree. That's a great trade for the Hornets. Their roster still looks like a mess but at least they're getting some nice pieces together.

I f*cking hate that Barnes ended up with the paedobears and we're gonna have to watch him be buddies with no-neck fatty. I bet he hates it too right now.

lol i'm sure it went something like "we'll s/t shump, jr, or tristan for your jj? pretty pls?"

[Ranma]

Unless it was J.J. for LeBron, I don't see why we would help Cleveland win a championship when Doc supposedly wants to win one for the Clippers. Also, Karl and the Kings are pioneering into new territory of dysfunction for an NBA franchise.

Why in the world would he do that? Guy is getting towards the end of his career and the Knicks aren't winning anything next year. I believe they have a lot of cap space next offseason, but still.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

If I remember correctly David West is from Northern New Jersey, so he may just want to go home for the end of his career.

I start to feel bad for them…then I realize half of them are Giants fans and I feel better about it.

Can't think of any player outside of Lebron on the Cavs that makes sense for the Clippers.

[QRich3]

Wow it seems like the Spurs are pulling off getting Aldridge while retaining Green, Leonard, Duncan and possibly even Ginobili. Hey if we're not gonna be in the mix I'm cool with the Spurs winning it all.

[kylem4711]

Ya me too. Spurs are gonna have a nasty team. At least it seems like we won't have to worry about portland.

ya me too. i'd be happy for them. the clips are my team but damn, if ballmer sticks with doc and doc sticks with jamal and so on and so forth then i keep wondering why the hell should i continue to be a clipper fan?

Pop does it again.

Green takes less, little brother takes Splitter, Manu, Duncan will come back for peanuts. Aldridge makes them tops out west IMO.
