Not sure, people are saying hed suit coming off the bench perfectly which i kinda agree, but then again im fine with him starting. Just needs to not be selfish sometimes, maybe they could test both Butler and Thornton starting in different games and see what works better

I really thought Butler was going to be starting. Maybe after going 2-10 he will come off the bench.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Honest I think we should just ship him out along with Camby for Jackson+fillers, but only when Blake heals up. Him and Baron teaming up again will actually be good for the both of them, and we'd get a starting SF who can actually do more than just score. I'd put up with Jackson's shenanigans rather than Thornton's game. I use to like him.. but now I'm grown tired of him not improving at all.

'10 free agency isn't going to be all that great for us. We just need a starting SF. Kaman seems like he's gotten back to his all star like play. EJ is a keeper, Blake is a keeper. Baron needs to play like he did tonight against Utah. Then that leaves SF open.

Edit - Actually I like lof's trade offer in the transaction section more.. Thornton/R. Davis/Collins for Jackson.

Al is quickly, and I mean QUICKLY becoming Maggette 2.0. He just isn't that good IMO.
