    Bummer. Was hoping they'd keep him. Such a bad coach.

    Please hire Nate McMillan, Please hire Nate McMillan, Please hire Nate McMillan...

    A Crawford McMillan reunion would be epic!

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA - I should clarify: Del Negro wasn't fired as coach. He was informed that he won't be offered a new contract to return. His deal has expired.

    How sweet would that be? I hate the Clippers but I hate the L*kers worse and that would really mess with their heads.

    Then Kobe asks to be amnestied and signs with the Clips for the vet minimum.

    Well that sucks... Getting rid if Vinnie was the best way to keep CP3 IMHO. Now I think they will retain him (as they can pay him more than any other team) and we won't be able to trade for Deandre Jordan... Oh well..

    It would be funnier than shit to see all those Laker fan boys suddenly claim they've always been Clipper fans.

    They would start selling those half and half Laker/Clipper Jerseys! LOL! It would be awful and gleeful at the same time.

    I'd like to see them hire Brian Shaw if only because he was presumed to be Phil's heir with the LAL.

    Is it "assholish" to quote myself?

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS - Among the biggest reasons the Clippers let Vinny Del Negro go today, sources say: Chris Paul was not a fan.

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS - Though Del Negro played a role in acclimating Paul to L.A. and Clips, Paul did not back the coach to management after season ended.
