I will miss Craig and i grew to like Bassy, but Craig's future wasn't here, Love needs all the minutes he can get and Bassy was a good backup but obviously Rubio is coming here then if we got rid of him, Maddog's annoying contract can go bye bye, wasn't worth a penny of it, will miss his cheering tho

We are now set for the future with the talent and $$$

Best of luck to everyone.

Sad to see him go, but if you love something, set it free.

I'll miss him. I liked his attitude, and I liked how he was trying to develop his game. Heavens to Anthony Mason!

However, I think this will be good for him professionally. With big centers like Kaman and Camby behind him, I think he'll get more minutes, and he could get a much better contract next season. We probably couldn't have kept him.

Cookie was always a class-act and was one draft pick of few in this franchise's history that was a steal. His future wasn't here because of the 900 PF's but he's still a productive low-post brute that I'm sure will make the Clippers or any other team proud. No matter what, I'll always remember him as the guy no one would want to get into a fight with. It's impossible but I'm sure Bruce Almighty is still searching for the way this Cookie crumbles. Good luck!

It is hard to be upset with a role player on a 24 win team. Craig gave up any pts he scored and he was a bad fit with Al and Love. Hopefully with the shot blockers in Griffin/Camby/Kaman Craig is able to show something. He is a good guy.

I wish him luck in LA, but man am I happy that he is no longer on the Wolves.

Hard not to like the guy. He was often an offfensive spark, but a defensive liability too many times. Kind of a tweener. Had he rebounded better, I think we'd have kept him.

It's a wasted nickname now, Smith should have taken the Rhino with him and given Cookie Monster to Love. I feel this mistake will damage Love's career, way to go Khan.

Big Twitter's a better nickname for Love than Cookie Monster. He'll be just fine.

I like Kevin Love more than Big Twitter. Big Twitter sounds like the nickname for a deformed gargantuan cyclops with overalls and no shirt underneath and bald except for a tuft of hair on the top of his head and snaggled teeth
