* What a devastating summer for the Clippers The Clippers' entire offseason plan revolved around Jordan's return. Now that he's gone, they have no obvious avenues to replace him with an NBA-quality center, much less one that even approaches his talent. Years of roster mismanagement on the margins has finally caught up to Doc Rivers' team. Because of that, the roster is woefully unbalanced. The tallest player the Clippers have under contract is Griffin. Let's repeat this sentence: The tallest player the Clippers have under contract is Blake Griffin. First that loss, and now this. And what mismanagement of the relationship with Jordan too. But an interesting summer for the Mavs, Bucks, and either the Suns or the Spurs. I'm not an NBA big man, but if I was, and I'm talking Aldridge here, I think I would want to play for Pops, and with Duncan and company. I'd love to know more about his thought process. What an interesting off-season.
I'm not sure where the Clips go from here, but i really like both Blake Griffin's and Chris Paul's commercials.
David West signs with the spurs too. Gave up 12 mil for the veterans minimum. Duncans only gonna have to play 15 minutes a game next season.
I was just on a Houston forum, and while complaints are expected, there was some legit grousing that taking an 11 million dollar haircut destroys the competitive balance the CBA was designed to promote.
