I don't see it happening. I simply don't. That's just ridiculous.


I would be almost disappointed if it did. I was hoping to see the Clippers become and remain the top LA basketball team :lol:

That said, I'd offer everything we had to have a core of Blake Griffin, Al Jefferson, Kemba Walker, and MKG.

Operation #BringBackCDR. He lead our team in points per 36 in the series. If Clifford was smart enough CDR could've been our 3rd scorer to relieve Big Al and Kemba. As much as the Heat are more talented than us we also got outcoached. We were playing checkers while they were playing chess. Clifford's next move wasn't always the best move but he did good compared to the previous coaches.

Blake is obviously not going to come here. Paul and/or Redick, maybe.

And yes to bringing back CDR.
Humble yourself.

Just saw this WT: Bobcats Plan To Target Arron Afflalo, Jameer Nelson In Trade

The Charlotte Bobcats will target Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson in a potential trade.

Steve Clifford is believed to be fond of Afflalo and Nelson.

Nelson, 32, is entering the final season of his contract at $8 million, but only $2 million of that is guaranteed if Nelson is waived by July 15.

Afflalo, 28, is due to earn $7.5 million next season and has a player option for 2015-16, also valued at $7.5 million.
Hornets Picks by Year
2021: Bouknight, Jones, Thor, Lewis

Protection on future 1st* (to NYK); 2nds
2022: 1-18; CHA (31-55), TOR 2 (55-60)
2023: 1-16; BOS (GH)
2024: 1-14; BOS (GH)
2025: 1-14; CHA (31-55)
*Becomes two 2nds if unconveyed

Would give us our starting SG and backup PG. I like it

Lance Stephenson fits the LOLcats mold, but I'm not so sure if he's Hornets material yet

Deng's pricetag came down a bit after his stint in Cleveland imo

So over the last couple days we've had Gay, Monroe, and now freaking Bargs come up as potential targets. Get it together fellas.

Yes please just STOP with the garbage ideas! I want a quality FA this off-season that can have a similar impact to Big Al. This guy must be a great shooter. Deng would be an interesting pursuit.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Damn I wish we would have drafted Thompson a couple years ago. Him and Kemba would be amazing together. He has the size to back his man down and if he cant he takes them outside to stroke the three effortlessly. Big time draft blunder.

Henderson was the future at SG at that time

Watching Memphis play and wondering if we could pull off a lineup like they have by signing Monroe. MKG is our Tony Allen and we could trade for / sign a perimeter shooter at the SG slot.

Not necessarily what I want to do, bit anyone want to make the argument that that's doable?

Augustin was our PG of the future as well. We drafted Kemba.
