<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sam Cassell just hasn't been doing much for the Clippers of late. His defense never has been his strong suit, and on Sunday, he scored a mere two points for the second time in two games. In both of his two-point performances, Cassell has had ample playing time, averaging 22 minutes. And to explain what's going on with him, he let out a doozy of a statement. "To play the game of basketball, you have to enjoy it," Cassell said. "Right now, I'm just not enjoying it. You have to enjoy it to have success in this game. It's just that simple." When asked why he's not enjoying the game, he responded, "We're 10-21, and that doesn't make it fun to enjoy it. But I'm still optimistic of how we can turn things around and see what we can do." Cassell, 38, is in the final year of a two-year deal, and realistically, the Clippers do not have a chance at making the playoffs. He is in the twilight of his career, so wouldn't he prefer to be traded to a contender for the rest of this season? "We'll see," he said. "It's not to that point right now. We'll see. I started this thing, and we'll see how it pans out."</div> Source: LA Daily News The Clipper organization should show some class and trade Cassell to a contender.
