Longtime Seattle Sonics fan here who now is without a team( I will never support Oklahoma). I have been around realgm for a long time but have never posted on the Clippers forum.

I have been very impressed with the moves your team have made this offseason. I have been a Hornets fan ever since Baron Davis played for them and think that Davis is underated. I consider him at worst one of the top five pointguards in the league. That move alone made the Clippers winners this summer.

Losing Magette may be a blessing in disguise. Thornton, who I followed closely because he competed with Kevin Durant for rookie of the year(when your team doesn't win any games you have to find something to jump on the bandwagon for). I think Thornton takes over from Corey and is now free to become the main focus on offence, along with Baron.

I don't pretend to have an insiders knowledge of what happened with Brand, so I won't get into that. But I give full marks for getting a defensive player of the year for pretty much nothing to replace him. How do you criticise that?

Although I'm not sold on either Eric Gordon or Deandre Jordan, I'll take a wait and see approach before judging the draft.

I think your team has finally woke up and realized that experience counts in the NBA far more than stockpiling youth.

Funniest thing I got out of that is how he said the Pacers could make the playoffs. And I don't think the Grizz, Warriors, and Clippers are losers. I'm not exactly sure if the Pacers and Bucks are winners either. Oh well this is someone's opinion.

I don't think it's incredibly far-fetched to think that Indiana could make the Playoffs. In the East, it's possible, and if they can unload Tinsley, they'll have a roster with some solid guys.

As far as the Clips go, I applaud you for stealing Marcus Camby. I hope he makes the All-Star team and/or wins DPoY for you guys.

I think I would give Clips a B- for this off season, Baron's addition will be big, so as MaCam and RDay, but Elton Brand is just too much to overcome, we did what we can possibly do to fill up the hole. Still some descent job by the Clips front office.
