In the midst of trade talks surrounding DJ, I started a petition....
Now, I know some of you won't sign it, because you believe we don't need DJ. And that's fine, difference of opinion. I respect that.

However, for the rest -- Join me in this cause and let's show Ballmer and Doc that On This TEAM We Fight For Our Valuable Players!! So without further ado, go and help make them hear your voice:

For the record, at the time of publication of this thread the Petition had 45 signatures. #LetDeAndreStayInLA

I really fear the damage has been done already, and especially with the Blake trade I don't see potential contract negotiations being easy, but here's hoping as a fan.

I have no idea what the market is for a 20th century Wes Unseld type at $25M+. But I guess there's another Marc Cuban out there someplace.

To those who've signed it -Thanks Ever So Much for signing the petition, guys - it really means a lot.

Also, if you could please tell anyone who'd be interested and help spread the word - it'd be appreciated greatly!!

Here's an article related to the petition:

(For the record, there were 76 signatures right before the article was published on the Clipperholics site)

Hard to see a home out there for DJ if he opts out. There are only 9 teams with room to sign anyone over $15M and DJ's guaranteed $24M if he stays. Certainly not a home anywhere for Austin, who's already making $12.6M and would be lucky to get someone's MLE for much less in a buyer's market. There's also a player's option on Milos for $6.3M, and although there's been friction with Doc over his sometimes lax play, I dunno if there's an MLE out there for him either.
