New Mix- My farewell to Baron 

Post#1 » by clipper joe » Wed Jun 29, 2011 11:59 pm

Hey guys, I know it's a little late but I couldn't spare the time until now. I'll be making another 3-5 more mixes before the end of summer so for now, here is this one:

Nice, first time watching your videos.
This Baron one is amazing, I am a Warriors fan so I share same love about BD.

Thanks

Wow, that was a really nice mix. Why did we trade him again?
All I know is that the biggest loss from trading Davis is the sheer number of highlight plays between Davis and Blake we'll be missing (and the small chance of landing Irving).

This is your best mix yet.

It was impressive. At the same time, it was sad to watch. Whether a fan was a Baron supporter or not, I think that everyone can agree that it was a frustrating relationship. You have to ask what could have been had a combination of factors been different. What if Brand didn't leave for Philly and the team that Baron envisioned actually got to play in year 1? In year 2, what if Blake never got hurt or if he actually was able to return January 20th? What if Baron was as prepared this season as he was working under Lucas in 09-10? There are also other factors (health to other players, trades, etc.) at play that contributed to our results, but Baron is what most of our success hinged upon.

Watching these highlights, you remember the good and fun times. I love watching Baron when he is on as there is not really another player in the league that will give you exactly what he can give you. He reminded me of Teen Wolf (Michael J. Fox) at times and he could be so exciting. He could also be very very frustrating. He is hard not to root for and I wish him the best with the rest of his career. I just wish things would have worked out here.

completely agree mkwest, i always had a spot Baron that even when he was just plain frustrating, I was still glad we had him on our team but unfortunately it wasn't to be. That mix made me realise he did fit in and the good times/games that when he was on, he fitted our team perfectly. dissapointing...

Im interested to know what Baron felt about the trade, he seems to be a guy that doesnt matter where is he, he'll always try and lead and energise his teamates and crowd, I love that about him. so GL in Cleveland, he deserves to finally find another team he fits in well and has SOME success with, despite me not really thinking he'll get that success with Cavs but oh well, I would've liked to see him go to a championship team that needs even a veteran backup PG

Very nice, mix (could have done with you on a recent AE project :lol: ). Baron was certainly not great in LA but also not as bad as people make out in his 2nd year (1st year was a disgrace though). Still find it a shame he was traded. He was starting to play pretty well, not to mention his contract starts to become easier and easier to trade once it gets shorter (unless Mo Williams is the answer for PG for the future).

Love the hesitation crossover and the spin in the Pacers clip

Great work as always :)
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
