There's no need for Tim Thomas on the Sonics.
Do the Clips really want Luke Ridnour running their show?
I also don't know why the Clippers should trade away their lottery pick when there's a possibility to land a guy like OJ Mayo or Jerryd Bayless with it.

That's a different off-season plan... The trades and signings are conceivable, but maybe a little too gutsy. I'd have liked it more if you could swing Maggette for a guard but good work nonetheless.

They can resign Brand to a long term contract only if he opts out, otherwise he will play next year for around 16 million.

as much as i love maggette, he needs to go. thornton is becoming better than maggette and keeping maggette would only slow down thorntons development. as for livingston i love him too much to let him go. sterling will probably re-sign him and livingston definitely wont ask for much because hes been out for more than a year and its not like he was a star before that..

no way im giving up the 6th pick in the draft for mike miller and kyle lowry. that is terrible. we can get oj mayo possibly so NOOOOOOO!!!! terrible trade plus having ridnour as our main PG is a bad idea. this would be a typical clippers move and i dont even want this to be a topic in this forum.

It's an interesting offseason plan, but lets keep in mind that the #6 pick can become a 1 or 2 in the draft. Let's wait and see what happens come lottery draft selection day before we make any assumptions.

First things first, we need a guard that can facilitate an offense, shoot an wide open shot, and play decent defense. Dickau is not the answer and neither is Smush.

Sounds a little bit like Andre Miller, no?

Not the Andre Miller who played with the Clippers, although that was his worst season in the league.

I think Odom had something to do with Miller's bad season here. Odom always wanted to handle the rock and that clashed with Miller. Also, they had major injuries. No one on the team played more than 66 games besides Miller(he played 80).

How about trying to pick up Artest?
Maybe Magg for Artest
