    I don't know how much truth there is to this, but wouldn't it be funny to see Smush in a Clipper's uni? If they sign him, I'll probably actually watch a couple of Clipper games to how horrible Smush will be [​IMG]

    Have fun with him

    I could see it happening. I could also see him playing pretty motivated next year.

    i could see us doing better just because of the fact that we dont have smush parker on our team anymore, thats whats most important. who cares if smush comes into next season with another team and plays with a passion, he's still crap. whichever teams decides to sign him, thats if any team is that stupid, hey maybe the knicks will sign him, anyway i hope that the team that signs him wont have the trouble we've put up with from such a terrible player. hopefully they realise their mistake and drop him from the team, because this guy is not nba material.

    Well the Clippers have tried out a myriad of ex-Laker guards, Von Wafer and Will Bynum, so why not pursue Smush?

    I hope the Clippers do sign him so I can watch the Lakers light his ass up 4 times a year.

    I think it would be a good side-topic for the Clippers, especially if they aren't heading towards the playoffs, it would make Laker-Clipper games a little more juicier.

    What's Smush's value on the market? I mean all hating aside, what's he looking to pull? He did over-perform expectations his first year and while his numbers dropped this year- he still did decently well for a guy that had never gotten any serious playing time being thrown into a very high pressure situation in Los Angeles.

    He's probably going to ask for the entire Mid-level Exception (like any self respecting man would) but will obviously get no where near that. What are your guys' thoughts?

    I think he can potentially get $2.5M to $3M from a team. It's going to be tough for him though, because he's not a true point guard and very few offenses can accommodate his weaknesses at the position.

    Something tells me Smush Parker will end up in Atlanta.

    If he signed with the clippers that would be hilarious especially if kobe as guarding him, but really why would the Clippers sign him when they have other options this is mere speculation and has as much truth to it as KG going to LA.

    I think this is the kind of team Smush will play good for a crappy team of course. I think he will play good for them since Sam Cassell will probably or should give Parker some advice on playing the PG position.Seeing Parker playing for the Clippers will be funny to see!
