We need a 3rd option scorer. 

Post#1 » by PG3 » Tue Dec 14, 2010 2:32 am

Either acquiring one, or someone needs to step up. Its only Blake and EJ. I mean look at the box score from the last game (vs Magic)

Aminu needs to step it up. Or Baron, but i doubt it.

Ideally I want Kyrie Irving in the draft next year to be our facilitator and our 3rd scoring option.

He's pretty good but im not just about to give up on E Bledsoe though. I want the Clips to draft Harrison Barnes. He's playing bad at UNC right now but he has a lot of potential.

I wouldnt touch Barnes. For the "#1 recruit" in America, he's not a freakish athlete, not a great shooter, not an outstanding defender. He's really average right now.

From Cleveland, I might be interested in something centered around Mo for Baron, but there would need to be a sweetener from LA. Mo would give you that third scorer while also stretching the floor. Cleveland would be taking on Baron in hopes that Byron Scott can motivate him, and would act as a stopgap goto scorer. So I guess the question is, what would you be willing to package with Baron to acquire Mo Williams?
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Baron Davis for Ben Gordon. He's the 3rd scorer coming off the bench and playing at the end.

Detroit fans dont wanna get rid of Gordon, they wanna send away Rip.

I was against this trade at first but I think Mo can do more for Clippers than Baron right now. However, Bryon Scott hates Baron, so I dont see this trade happening.

We need a scoring punch when EJ and Griffin are not on the floor. I know his issues but I think JR Smith can help.

I never really like the idea of trading. It is still early in the season, we're a little more than a fourth of the way through. I feel that Baron and Kaman can be scoring options. I think Baron may need time to get acclimated to Blake and EJ doing the bulk of the scoring. Kaman has showed us that he can score in the past, we just need him healthy.

What I think would be a big help is if we can have Gomes and Butler score more for us. On occasion they have shown that the can, but it hasn't been consistent.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

How does the fan base feel about Kaman? Kaman and Butler to Atlanta for Crawford and Pachulia. When healthy, Kaman can start at C with Hordford playing PF full time. Atlanta would probably need to move Marvin or Smith depending on fit.

I would like to see what Amino would do with 35-40 minutes. His per 40 minute numbers are something like 14ppg/7rpg/1.5apg/1.5spg/1bpg. Also, I really like the idea of getting Irving in the draft. He is a true floor general. I like Bledsoe, but I'm not that impressed with his 28% 3 point field goal percentage And him only getting 5 assists per game playing with Griffin and Gordan.

I'd rather go for Perry Jones instead. Imagine playing a frontcourt of Jones (6-11 sf), Griffin and Deandre.

We could always move Kaman for an extra pick.

If there is a team in the league that badly needs a trade to shake things up, it's the Clippers!

Keep Gordon and Griffin, and possibly Jordan, but everyone else is disposable.

I mean, there is NO chemistry out there. Too many mediocre role players.
