L.A Times reports:
So, the Clippers, who are about $12 million under the salary cap, are mulling their options at the power-forward slot with few unrestricted free agents left in the market.
Dunleavy had dinner with Atlanta Hawks restricted free agent Josh Smith on Wednesday. Charlotte Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor, also a restricted free agent, is among their primary targets.
However, no offer sheet for either player is imminent. Also, the Hawks and Bobcats are expected to be eager to match any offers to retain their services. The Clippers can dissuade them from that by front-loading any offer and including hefty bonuses.
"We are going to take a step back and evaluate everything," Clippers President Andy Roeser said.
Andris Biedrins, a restricted free agent with the Warriors, is also expected to draw interest, as are possible trades for the Miami Heat's Shawn Marion and the New York Knicks' Zach Randolph.
Lastly, the Clippers are expected to attempt to re-sign recuperating point guard Shaun Livingston, who became an unrestricted free agent. But as Dunleavy said, this is now "the Baron Davis era."
When asked if he was ready to concede that Davis was the team's most significant free-agent signing in franchise history, Roeser said, "It is today, but you never know what the summer holds."
THE INTERESTING NAME IS SHAWN MARION
LET'S TRADE FOR HIM>>> |

| The Heat want a PG or center. If the Clippers have $12M, they would still need to send close to $5M to Miami to get Marion. They probably don't want Thomas unless he comes with D. Jordan. So one year of Marion to lose Thomas a year sooner, but it would cost Jordan (who could be the next Howard/Bynum or the next Jerome James). I like the idea of Marion with Kaman and Baron. It might be worth a shot. |
