I have worked for supervisors who do this...
Our shift is running perfect... Everything is clicking... The supervisor in charge gets a promotion out of it and a new one replaces him... New supervisor does not rest until every facet of the shift is changed to his liking (regardless if it is a step backwards or at best, sideways).
Unfortunately every Kerr decision has been a step backwards.

Amare, Barbosa and Shaq to be traded before the deadline? I wouldn't be surprised if JRich ends up in a deal to Chicago w/ Amare so that they can have Ben Gordon's expiring contract.
Everybody except Nash, interesting. Sarver will have a ball selling all the first rounders we get the next couple years. I honestly can't believe they still have faith in Terry Porter at this point, hopefully I'm mistaken.

As a Clippers fan I don't mind trading Camby or the pick, but I wouldn't move the pick for Amare. Amare can leave after next year and it's not worth losing the pick to rent a player for one year.
I would do one of our bigs, Thornton, and the 1st rounder the Wolves owe us for Amare.

I think that meeting they had with just Nash and Hill was to tell them that they are the only 2 that are untouchable at this point.

Ugh this is a mess. This franchise is just honestly not likeable right now. The players don't like to or want to play, the coach is stubborn, the GM and Owner are more stubborn...get rid of a coach who's been coaching for 5 months, not your entire roster...which kills team chemistry more, firing a coach who nobody respects or dismantling an entire roster with multiple moves?

I have had mixed reactions from this idea so far:
Randolph/B. Davis/Thornton/Skinner for Amare/Barbosa/Dudley/R. Lopez

I'll take Thaddeus, Elton, and Miller for Amare if need be, but I'd like to keep Barbosa somehow.

I'd like to think that if the team really is shopping Amare, they will wait until after the all-star break. That would be an interesting scene on All-Star Sunday as Amare Stoudemire is introduced...
"Standing at 6 feet 10 inches, they call him STAT, from your...Los Angeles Clippers?"

If they trade Amare before the all-star break and so he goes to an East team, does he not get to be in it? If so I would be smitten by that because he doesnt deserve to be in it to begin with.

WTF - that's a realistic trade I think...Murphy brings some rebounding and can stretch the D...Tinsley solves the backup PG, and Rush is as good as a first rounder...
Hibbert could be better than Lopez in the long run anyway.
Never thought I'd actually have to prepare myself for an Amare trade, especially one where we're most likely going to be fleeced
I still think CHI can offer more
Gooden's expiring, Hinrich, and Thabo for Amare
