Would the Clippers have any interest in adding Travis Outlaw to your team?
He is the ideal 6th man and is able to play the 3 & 4 effectively. He is currently in the last year of his contract for $3.7 mill. If he signed a 2-3 year extension for approximatley $4/yr - would the Clippers trade a future 1st and part of the TPE you got from Randolph for Outlaw?

Def not with the pick in there. Outlaw isn't a bad player, but we could find better options out there.

Re: Travis Outlaw....
Is there something Outlaw can do that Thornton can't? They're pretty similar players aren't they?

Re: Travis Outlaw....
I'm against adding any significant salary this summer that runs past 2010, so this would be a no go as far as I'm concerned. Not like it matters, the Clips need a veteran at the wing along the lines of a Tayshaun Prince type.

Re: Travis Outlaw....
All I've got to say is:

But on a serious note, he could be an option, but I'm not crazy about him. He brings a lot of energy and has great work ethic, but I think he's still a bit raw, and can go a bit overboard and try to do too much.

Re: Travis Outlaw....
We can only offer guys like Ricky Davis + FIller for Outlaw

Re: Travis Outlaw....
I like Outlaw quite a bit, I would consider a trade like Kaman + Ricky Davis for Przybilla + Outlaw. Przybilla has one less year on his contract than Kaman and may work out well as either a stop gap until DJ is ready or he and DJ could share the C position in the future.
I don't know that the Blazers would be willing to take on Kaman and his contract, but they could use a center who can score since both Oden and Przybilla are defensive oriented.

Play somewhat better D, but I definitely agree with you.
