Say Hello to James Harden.

Rubio is injured right now. I am not sure how serious, nothing career ending or anything, but maybe enough to drop his draft stock from possible top 3 to no where higher then 5th?
Anyway, I had read a few places, he was looking at 2010 even before the injury, and I believe he is signed in Europe till then anyway.

This is a legit thread at this point.
We are exactly where we were last year. We should finish with a worse record this year. I say we discuss this all season.
I am for Rubio. Move Harris to SG. If VC still here have him play SF.
Rubio - Penetration kick out
Harris - Penetration, score
VC - Catch and shoot
YI - Catch and Shoot
Lopez - post up, Score and Kick out.
If not we get a SG, Griffin or DeRozen.
I am sorry, but I just don't see Harris working permenately at SG.
Rubio is more than likely looking at the 2010 draft anyway.
It's funny, I was saying that it looks like management has told Frank to tank, even he can't be this bad a coach, can he?
Griffin is a PF in a SF's body.
BJ Mullens looks like he could be a nice player, but he is a center.
Brandon Jennings looks like he could be awesome, but he is a PG.
I love this Harden kid though.
Eh still a lot of NBA and NCAA season to go, we'll see where we wind up.
I could still see VC staying or leaving, no matter what happens this year.
If he goes to PDX, I highly doubt they give up Rudy, so I would hope we at least get Batum and either 2 1sts or Webster.
Maybe he could still wind up with the Clips and we get Eric Gordon and either Mobley or Camby.
I don't love Gordon, he is an undersized SG, listed at 6'4 but rumored to be 6'3, although he has very long arms and good lateral quicks and some nice bulk, but he can be a ballhog with bad shot selection, at least in college, hell he hasn't got a chance in the NBA yet.
Could wind up like a Ben Gordon with really good defense, which would be top notch.
The only thing is, the only game he got extended burn and produced this season is the 1 win the Clips even have, so that would be encouraging, but I don't see them giving him up.
You never know though, that would be a nice lineup even for the Clips:
PG B Diddy
SG VC
SF Thorton
PF Kaman
C Camby
