I'm making a dynasty with NBA Live 2008, i'm making a preseason preview and writing up some articles on what each and every team needs, can you guys elaborate who/what type of player the clippers need

I think an elite perimeter scorer would do this team wonders, someone to stretch the floor. With a healthy Brand and Livingston this team is not really that bad. However they have no go to scorer on the perimeter, that is what will hold this team back. We have two players that attack the basket with no regard in Thornton and Maggette, though I personally dont see Maggette coming back next year. Al takes his place and we move on. Cassell is going to be gone, so a lot depends on what Livingston can show he is healthy.

So perimeter scorer and a point guard potentially. We have those glue guys already in Ross and Powell.

mp nailed it. a servicable 3rd big man wouldn't hurt either for next season.

Quality depth as always.

or Michael Redd

Also, if we can select Mayo, Rose or Bayless via draft that would solidify us even more at both guard positions. :pray:

The Raps can offer up Kapono, Joey Graham and the rights to Ukic for Maggette.

Kapono is what you are looking for in the perimeter scoring.

Ukic is looking very promising in Europe as a PG.

Joey is trade filler but he does have some potential if he could just improve his BBall IQ.

Maggette is by far the best player in the trade but he's a risky UFA.
