OFFICIAL 2014 LA CLIPPERS OFFSEASON THREAD -- Ballmer Sale Final!

He is not even from Seattle so why would he move them over there. Buying the kings and moving them to a bigger market makes sense. Moving the clips to a smaller market that makes no sense.

I agree. It doesn't make sense but Ballmer is persistent with trying to bring a NBA team back to Seattle.

So I hope he doesn't but he's been trying hard
 
I also believe it was in the agreement when they came to terms to sell not to move them. This offseason is gonna be exciting. :smokin
 
Can't even get caught up in the LeBron scenarios. Just don't see it happening. (But if it did, it would be crazy).
 
I thought so but Bills analysis makes sense. Obviously losing a big man and our hot handed 3 point 6th man would be rough but if Blake, Bron and the floor general extraordinaire CP3 get a vibe going dear lord.
 
We need this Sterling @#$% resolved so FAs don't have to worry about it. I think, in the end, we'll make mostly minor moves to improve in our weaker areas. I'd be really surprised if we're involved in any big trades.

Went in to draft day thinking there's plenty of great players that can fill our void...PG/Back up big. What do we get? Another shooter at the 2? Not sure what the plan is here. Pretty much drafted a guy that does exactly what Bullock does. :smh:

Wasted pick. While Wilcox is one of the best shooters in the draft and I would like the pick if we needed shooters, there were so many better players who better filled our needs available. We got our 5th string SG, who is damn near a clone of Bullock and is almost 24.

Doc's poor asset management, limitless love of 6'5 "shooters" and over the hill vets, and stubbornness against rookies will come back to bite the Clippers in a couple of yrs when CP3, Barnes and Crawford start to decline and we have nobody with upside to replace them.

Agreed. Was kind of mystified by the pick considering what our clear needs are. I hope there's some other moves in the works because, as things stand now, we have way too many guys who do the same thing and basically no front court depth.

Free agent guard Darren Collison agrees to 3 year, $16 milion deal with Sacramento, sources, leaving the Clippers.

Too bad. I was hoping to get DC back - he was big for us last year - but I'm not surprised. We should definitely be giving Jameer Nelson a call now.

Good for DC and us IMO. Saved Doc from giving him too much $ and playing him too much with that two PG lineup that was horrible defensively.

Solid backup PG are a dime a dozen. Would like to see the Clippers get bigger at that spot if they want to play a 1 next to CP3 for stretches.

Hopefully Pierce gets paid by some other team too. Praying we don't do a S&T giving up anything other than Dudley for him.
 
Brad Turner ‏@BA_Turner 26m
Clippers have had conversations with free agent point guard Jordan Farmar, per source. Farmar has 3-4 teams interested in him.

I think Farmar would be a nice replacement for DC. He's always been kind of a Clipper killer anyway, so why not have him join the squad.
 
I'm gonna have to agree with FlyBoi23 on this one.

None of our biggest gaps have been addressed. These should be our priorities in no particular order.

1. Back up big (either stretch or someone that can rebound and bang)
2. Back up PG
3. Defensive stopper (preferably at the 3)

Everything else shouldn't even matter.
 
I can't stand Farmar lol and him and Barnes on the same team again? Lol

Losing DC was tough but you can't be mad at what he got. We need to shed Dudley.
