    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Apparently, Vladimir Radmanovic has fit in well.

    In 11 games with the Clippers, the 6-foot-10 forward is averaging 12.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and shooting 49.2% on three-pointers.

    A force off the bench, Radmanovic had 30 points, 11 rebounds and made seven of 15 three-point shots in consecutive road victories over the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks. He has had at least three three-pointers in seven games.

    "For us, the fit is a great one," Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "He was the exact kind of piece we've been looking for.

    "He's somebody who can play as a big [power forward], somebody who can play as a mobile [small forward], and be able to stretch the defense from the outside."

    Radmanovic scored 16 points in Saturday's 106-98 victory over the Bucks. His third three-pointer gave the Clippers a 101-92 lead with 45 seconds left, essentially sealing the victory.

    When Milwaukee called a timeout after the shot, Radmanovic was the center of attention on the Clipper bench.

    "I'm happy and I'm not going to hide it," said Radmanovic, acquired Feb. 14 from the Seattle SuperSonics for forward-center Chris Wilcox. "I'm really excited about everything that's happened to me the last few weeks with the trade. I'm just enjoying it, and I think everybody sees it.

    "This team has many weapons, and adding the three-point shot that I'm bringing in is opening up everything for everybody. We just have to keep taking advantage of what's coming to us."</div>

    This is good, I'm also happy with Radman, the team has needed a big SF, and also another shooter for a while, and he's perfect.

    ...and we're happy with Wilcox.

    I'm interested to see how much it would take for Vlad to resign with the Clippers this offseason. Remember he did turn down a 6 year 42 million dollar offer from the Supes last summer. The word dillusional has been a trademark signature with him for a while.

    It's all good, like I've said before, the trade fitted both parties, Wilcox wasn't doing much here, and wasn't going to re-sign, and Radman was whining over in Seattle.
