    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">? Looking for help in unusual places, the Clippers are expected to sign Vin Baker, the fallen four-time All-Star, out of retirement.

    The 6-foot-10 Baker made the All-Star game in his second, third and fourth seasons with Milwaukee from 1995 to 1997, and his first in Seattle in 1998, before his career went off a cliff.

    He finally acknowledged a drinking problem as he was shuffled to the Boston Celtics, then the New York Knicks and finally the Houston Rockets in his last three seasons, posting single-figure scoring averages in all of them.

    He played in 27 games last season with the Knicks and Rockets, averaging 1.3 points.</div>

    ^ he returned and played tonight, so my guess is that Baker will sit on the IL unless someone gets injured.
