Ot: Clippers reaching out to Isiah Thomas?

No doubt! Damn you KPEE! We could have had a shot at John Wall!

Wait a minute...Sterling is crazy all right...Crazy like a fox. Last year he drafted Blake Griffin; this year he'll get John Wall. Hard to do better than that.

KPee gets aced out again!!

And what kind of name is 'Isiah' anyway. I can never spell it. Shouldn't it be 'Izayah' or something.

 

The traditional spelling is Isaiah. Evidently, Isiah's mom preferred a more economical usage of vowels.

That's what makes the Clippers the perfect organization for him.

"I want to sign these players to huge deals."
"No."
<disastrous signings averted>

 

If that's the case, we need to make an offer for Eric Gordon and Al Thornton as soon as he takes office.

KP: Isiah, I'll trade you Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, AND Patty Mills for Eric Gordon and Al Thornton.

Isiah: Hold on... I need to look at my "GM for Dummies" book............... It's a deal!

 

Failure is expected.

 

Couldn't even afford to buy a vowel? That's a heartwarming success story. I hope he bought her a nice house.

 

I agree with the speculation I heard earlier that it might be Isiah himself that's stirring up these rumors... He is a man with incredible self-confidence.

 

As a player, he was very religious. He's in some conservative religion. I don't know which one, it was Christian, but not one of the more pacifistic loving ones. Some teammates didn't like how he pushed religion onto them.

 

Not necessarily. You remember that thing called the lottery?

 

Just the opposite.

Donald "Midas" Sterling, who cares nothing about sports, is merely following the same formula that has made his "team" one of the most financially stable and lucrative investments in his portfolio.

His method of competitive insanity has assured him a nearly constant supply of free national advertising and fan optimism by starting each and nearly every season with a highly-touted lottery pick who also brings in a refresher group of fans to the team. If his team seems on the verge of being good, he simply trades away talent or switches coaches.

Unfortunately, KP has publicly stated he admires Sterling's financial approach and is attempting to emulate him.

 

Link, or it didn't happen.

Interesting contrast.

Dunleavy:

As a player: hard working over-achiever.

As a coach: quickly wears out welcome.

As a GM: almost adequate.

Thomas:

As a player: over-rated egotist.

As a coach: almost adequate.

As a GM: train wreck.


It's like they set out to find 2 guys who are polar opposites!

 

You know what they say... Opposites attract.

Still, if I owned an NBA basketball team, I wouldn't want Isiah Thomas anywhere near it.

But only as a sign and trade with Joel getting a 5-year deal starting at $10 million.

Just when you think the Clippers might do something good when they land Blake Griffin, they quickly remind you why they are the Clippers. Perfect.
