And no, not like the other thread in favor of Q Rich.
As much talent as Thornton does have, I think we can forget about last year where he was the least efficient player in the NBA (just check the stats, it's seriously a fact). But I'm not in the least bit giving up on the guy. But what Dunleavy hasn't necessarily been great at in the past is putting his players in the best opportunity for them to succeed in full, something all great coaches are superb at. And Dunleavy has the perfect opportunity here.
I think we all can agree here that Thornton's weaknesses are his help and on-ball defense, while his strenghts are explosive scoring. So why not acquire a defensive minded small forward to go along with our potent scoring starting lineup? I think we should go after a guy, Jamario Moon (don't laugh at me), who would come relatively cheap, is long and lanky, has an improving 3-point shot, a good slasher, and a very solid athletic defender. Not to mention he's a restricted FA. And that means we could bring Thornton off the bench where he can do exactly what he thrives at: score. He would be playing against other teams' second units where he could really lift our, let's face it, weak second unit.
And personally, I would start Camby to bring the defense against the opposing starters and bring in Kaman and Thornton to lift our second unit offensively. I honestly think this would be our ideal situation, similar to how the Lakers used Odom last year or how the Spurs use Ginobili. It may sound a bit odd at first, but I truly believe it would be the best for our team.
What do you think? |

| I think Moon would be a good addition for all the reasons you've stated. I'd also throw Anthony Parker into the mix, though he's more of a SG than SF. I also think they should consider starting Collins at the 3. |

I don't think Collins is what we need at the 3, he doesn't have the size as a Moon or even Parker. And personally, I just don't think Mardy Collins is very talented, but that's just my opinion. But I really think Moon would be a great fit, a Trevor Ariza mold for cheaper. He's a long and lanky 6'8" and a very hard working athletic defender, bouncing from team to team and league to league before finding a home in the NBA at 27. Those kind of blue collar players are exactly what makes great defenders, that will to defend. That's really what defense is, effort. And he is also very athletic, extremely athletic on the break, so there is no drop off there. He is a great slasher as well, so I can see him getting some alley-oops off some Baron-Griffin pick and rolls off a slash to the hoop. The only thing he's real lacking in is his 3-point shooting, but also like Ariza, could improve that over the offseason and course of the season. Not to mention the fact he's 29 years old, but I really think this would be a good fit.
And as far as Parker goes, he's not quite the defender or athlete Moon is, which is why I'd prefer Moon for our situation or for any of my teams for that matter. Although Parker is a much better 3-point shooter. |

| On-ball defending and defensive help. Collins gives you these, at least better than Al does, and some passing to boot. I remember he did a particularly pretty good job on Paul Pierce at Staples. I really don't think Collins at the 3 is a long-term answer, but if the shots are going to Gordon/Blake/Baron, then having a willing passer/defender like Collins might at least be a possibility. |

| Yea sorry Journeyman, I always respect your views and your reasoning on here, but I have to agree with miquel on this.. I just don't think Collins belongs anywhere near the starting lineup. He should be closer to the end of the bench than the starting lineup. But I completely agree with you on the things that we need that position to bring, even if I dont agree that Collins would bring that. But I do like your innovative thinking, since we at least have Collins on roster and Moon is a restricted FA. So in that sense, at least its more reasonable.. |

I think Collins did an admirable job when he got minutes.
Miguel and b_diddy, I agree: if everything goes great, then we won't have to worry about our 3rd and 4th string guys like Collins.
What I want most of all is a talented up and comer complete player like Childress (or a superstar like Joe Johnson) to push Thornton to the bench.
If we don't get such a player, I want the team to stay healthy and not be forced to start Collins.
But I'm not expecting too much from Q and Ricky, which is why Collins at least deserves to be considered. |

| Thornton is not a horirible player physically its' mentally, his decision making to many bad shots if he worked on that I would be happy. Playiing more team defense like Boston does and the 04 Clippers Thornton wouldn'nt get exposed as much. |

| Yeah definitely journey, I think we're all on the same page here. And honestly, for right now at least, I think we have enough star power. I want the FO to put some solid role players who fit well with what the team needs into the mix, and I believe of the available ones on the market right now Jamario brings what we need, in my opinion. Because since we can all agree that our bench is very weak, not to mention unpredictable, acquiring a defensive guy for our already offensively potent starting lineup would push some more much needed offense into our second unit, stengthening our team overall immensely. |

B_diddy, is there a list of NBA players along with their efficiency ratings? I have Thornton at +14.04.
I also Q Rich @ +9.94. I think Q has him beat, no? Mind you, this was my first comparison.

Yeah sorry I didn't have the stat on hand to back it up, but it may not be PER or anything like that. It was just one of those things you recall reading at one point in time but can't remember where you read it at. |

Actually Joe, I think I read that on an ESPN article that was about the least valuable players, and Thornton was the least valuable player. So my bad, I thought it was a stat but I think it was just opinion. I'll try to find it and see if there was some kind of formula for the list, and if not, we all know how ESPN feels about us so no need to look into it too much.
But what did you think of acquiring a guy like Moon? For all the aformentioned reasons. |

| why would the clips need moon? they already have pretty ricky and al thor, plus q rich now. that seems like a waste of money b_diddy. the clips would be better of snagging shannon brown for 3 mil and prying him away from the hated/loved lakers. he is a much better backup then mike taylor, regardless of what some fools think in clipperville |

To tell you the truth, I've never really thought much of him. I've also really never payed too much attention to the Raps to give an opinion. To give one without actually knowing enough of him other than his stats would serve no justice. |

Sean, I suggest you stop with those taunts. Those types of comments tend to stifle any type of intelligent conversation. If you disagree, disagree, but don't do that. It's seems you have a gripe with the discussions here based on your last few posts. If you do, don't try and start flaming others to get a reaction, please.
Thanks... |

Anyways you really have some absurd ideas about player talent and i think Shannon Brown is one of them. The guy is a backup and barely a serviceable backup at that. Within the Clipps system he would suck just like on the Cavs and the Bobcats. Phil has a way of make mediocre players look a lot better than they are. Just wait, if he signs somewhere else he will get garbage time only. Wont even be near worth $3 million... |

| thanks for calling me a "sucker" clipperboy24. i dont see how my ideas are absurd, when did i ever say he should be more than barons backup? i clearly said he would be a better fall-back option compared to mike taylor. Also, the "Clipps system" doesnt really exist, they have one isolation play and thats about it. further, brown played very well in the last month of the season plus the playoffs. maybe you didnt watch the playoffs bc the clips didnt make it again, but he actually was a contributor to a CHAMPIONSHIP team. |

If you actually read my post you would have seen its not about the clipps system but getting out of the Lakers system.
And sorry i was totally joking when i said sucker, i always say that to my friends. Definitely poor taste, and I apologize.
I was thinking of a few other posts that you made though regarding JR Smith and Rudy Fernandez and a few other players that i dont agree with from my view. |

@ clip joe.. Moon is actually a member of El Heat now but he's a real athletic three, great on the break, and a real tough defender. Along with his length and quickness, he could be real asset to us, at a fairly reasonable price I'd like to think along the lines of 3 mil.
@ seanb.. Obviously reading your posts, I can tell you watch the Lakers quite a bit. And I tend to agree a lot with what you're saying. You seem to watch a lot of NBA basketball, and your posts reflect that, and I respect it. However, as far as my proposed Moon to LA deal, I think you're a little out of your element here. First off, I think we can both agree that Q Rich was brought in here more for his contract than what he provides on the court. He is a shell of his former self, and that's what injuries and repeated back problems will do to you. He is basically a non factor for us, most likely gone after this year, a year in which he'll play relatively sparing minutes and provide some opportune 3-point shooting and a bit more. So we don't need to worry about his minutes getting cut too much. As far as Thornton goes, it seems you and I feel the same about him for the most part. We're not too high on him, but we know he has talent. We both seem to be defensive minded, so we both know he doesn't fit that description. He's an explosive scorer who has some shortcomings on defense. What does that sound like you ask? To me, it screams explosive 6th man. A guy who can come in and immediately lift your starters and the bench around him against second unit players. Especially to build his confidence, with the right words from Dunleavy, could be great for his development.
And as you obviously know your Lakers, I don't need to go into detail of the importance of a guy like Trevor Ariza on our championship team last year. Already loaded with offensive talent in the lineup, Phil decided to bring Ariza into the starting lineup. Ariza, being a long and lanky defensive minded small forward who was great in the open floor, really worked on his 3-point game to space the floor. That allowed Odom, who still played starter minutes, to be the game changer off the bench. And we all know how it worked out for them, they won a championship and Ariza got a raise, whether it was for a different team is irrelevant. Just look back at past championship teams; all of them had someone at the 2 or 3, usually the 3, that could be labeled their defensive stopper. Along with that, these teams had a type of game changer off the bench. The Spurs with Bowen and Ginobili, Lakers Ariza and Odom, Pistons Prince and Lindsey Hunter would come in and energize them all, and even the Celtics with Pierce and the rest of the team doing a masterful job on Kobe (yes, Kobe still got his points but very unefficiently and in losing effort) while still getting the championship and Finals MVP. I guess Leon Powe could be considered the game changer off the bench for them, he was great in that series. But I could see Thornton having a similar effect. He has the ability to be a game changer, and given the opportunity to, I think he could. Actually, I think he would thrive. And Moon I think fits what we want to do in terms of defense, get up and down the floor, and he doesn't expect too much money or minutes. Which means Thornton would still get "starter minutes". I am really starting to like this idea more and more. Although it seems unlikely, I would be very welcome to it. |

| nice points b_diddy except i think u give too much praise to a junior college dude who was a 28 year old rookie (moon). further, lets not get ahead of ourselves - the clips are not even close to lakers/championship level, atleast for the time being. You are absolutely correct about the need for a defensive stopper, yet the clips dont really have that in the wing rotation. i would say, for this year atleast, stop worrying about the clips being championship contenders, and lets just hope they grow and give us an exciting up-tempo game (hopefully dumbleavy realizes that fits baron air gordon and red griffin best), which will hopefully lead to a playoff birth. baby steps. first get to the playoffs, then we will go from there. |

| seanb, yes definitely. Couldn't have said it better. That's what I've been saying in my other posts, that their championship window is in the near future I'd estimate in 4-5 years. Which is very exciting. But to say they're far from championship contention is a bit harsh, true, but they are on the right track. And it wouldn't hurt to start putting the pieces to the puzzle around our nucleus for a championship team, so that when the time comes for us to truly compete for a championship, we can just interchange similar players into our set roles as fitting. You should check out my "my dream of zach randolph gone comes true!" thread and maybe you'll agree with that too. I'll rename it "for seanb and others" so you can access it easier. It goes over our championship window and needs so I think we're on the same page, but if you agree with that which is more in depth then we definitely are.. |

| i agree with the 4 to 5 year window bc for the time being the forecast is Purple Rain, as the hated/loved lakers will most likely win the next 2-3 championships. |

| ehh we'll see.. Cleveland is improving more and San Antonio is a factor again. Not to mention, my greatest fear, the Celtics especially if Sheed jumps on board. Don't jump the gun here seanb, there are many other threats. Let's not forget orlando, or even Portland who just acquired king of turkey, or mj of turkey, hedo turk-UH-...GLOO (as announced my magic pa) |

| san anton has no bench. cleveland still isnt at the lakers level, especially when lebron leaves after they lose in this years finals. hedo does same thing as b roy, only now they have to share the ball. the boston leprachauns getting sheed is not going to stop the lakers either, odom (great former clip) just tamed rashard lewis, who is a younger version of sheed, in that they both kind of hover around the 3. orlando is not an issue either, they added vc but lost 4 guys from last years team. sorry, but its lakers-gold champagne for now |

| the dif between sheed and shard, although very similar names, is sheed is a great post defender. that means they have three to match up with the lakers three post threats. they can play one one one against those guys and with the triangle predicated on post play, it could cause problems for lakers. especially if pierce does another solid job on kobe. but dont get me wrong, i think theyre the favorites, as defending champs always are, but i cant say so matter of factly as you are that they'll repeat and win 2-3 more times. theres just too much competition for me to do so. and im not saying all these teams will win, but they are very viable threats, dangerous at that. what im more intrigued about is when these current teams championship windows close, ours should open which is in 4-5 years. then we can really see what happens. |

Keep it up Sean, this crap is getting old. If trolling on other teams boards just to get a reaction is your thing, might want to go somewhere else. If you can't help yourself and act like an adult, go somewhere else. I am sure you can ruffle a few feathers in some of them Houston boards since they got your guy, not here.
Oh, and you might want to think real hard about your next response. |

| come on seanb, let clipjoe provide insight on clips instead of reprimanding you on your posts. i dont think its too big a deal but i could see how others get tired of it. why cant we just focus on clips on a clips forum? in the past when they have had little optimicsm, i could see talking about other teams a bit more. but not now, why now? we have a lot of promise next year and a lot of excitement so lets just talk about that. |

| yes, i was thinking like a ginobili or lo, but JR is a more valid comparison. both explosive scorers, except relatively unpredictable. and they are very different scorers at that, but scorers indeed. |

Not to be a heretic but after a bit of thinking, unless Al improves "A Lot" he needs to go. If we've punted this season and it's all rebuilding, keep him and hope he gets better. We've lost our top scorer with EB then Zbo. Kaman is a crap shoot (pun intended). Blake is a gamble.If we want to be competetive we need a second proven monster. (EG +???) Prince would be the man but he's as gettable as the real Purple One. Al is streaky, has too many flaws in his game and his D has oft been decried. Q doesn't have it anymore. This otherwise is a rebuilding year for 2010. Problem is no good FA is coming here if 2009 sucks. We're in a double bind. Even the PO's are in unkikely unless every player play to their Max. And MDSr goes. Q or Al off the bench or even a HEALTY Ricky (I Know maybe it's the weed  |

How many games until Artest is suspended for attacking Vujacic? I say 20. By the way, you still don't have anyone on your team that can guard Pierce. all hail los celtics |
