How about Q-Rich and Ricky for Boozer.

Then our TPE for either Korver or Harpring.

Sure we get the better out of this deal, but this deal helps the Jazz stay away from luxury tax hell and makes it much easier for them to sign Milsap to a long term deal. The Jazz are already at 73 million and that with Milsap scheduled to make 1 million this year. Trading our TPE for Korver would save them 5.15 million and 10.3 million with the luxury tax. Harpring makes 6.5 million and that would be 13 million with the luxury tax.

This deal for us gives us a damn good post player in a contract year so I'm sure he would be busting his butt. This would take a lot of pressure off of Griffin and would give him one year to get his feet wet in the league.

Both of these deals are also 2010 cap friendly.

riky davis not b davis!!
but i think we should try to bring back shaun livingston!!
If he stay healty he can be a solid backup Pg,nice distributor,and as a clips fan i will like so much his come back!!!

i want to see livingston do well, but in a clips jersey is almost too much to ask. If the clips werent willing to hang tough with him the whole way through, they probably don't deserve to get him back once he is able to play well again

sometimes the best players dont always start clipperboy24. djones for the nugs is not better than jr smith, and the spurs always start someone worse than manu. sometimes coaches use something dumbleavy might not understand...um....STRATEGY! I agree with b_diddy that having al come off the bench as a way to be that unit's firepower is a great suggestion

yeah shaun would be great to have as our backup right now, but im not sure what the thunder would want in return. camby maybe? i think we can get more for camby though.

thanks for the in depth analysis and lesson SeanB. I really appreciate it... I had never heard of those players you mentioned or John Havlicek or Leandro Barbosa or Detleff Schrempf or Toni Kukoc or any other player that are whats it called again... "sixth man?"

If you have read any of my previous threads i said thornton could be a great 6th man but i think he can also start well and should not be relegated to 6th man unless there is a clearly superior player. He is not the classic 6th man mold IMO. JR smith plays exceptionally well off the bench and fits in well and Manu can do either. A player like Jamario Moon starting would be a downgrade only taking minutes from Thornton and wasting them...

The downside is that playing off the bench is an aquired talent. Not all players can do it and particularly, young players often struggle to do it. Given our current group of players, there is no one in my mind who would push Thornton to a sixth man role... Al will likely start the games and be around to finish them... Young players can look at it the wrong way and it can ruin them... Some guys get moved to the bench and never adjust to it.

Anyone can play off the bench SamMays, and we have never really seen Thorton come off the bench before he could be a Lamar Odom, Allen Iverson or Manu Ginobli in disguise. Im sure Al can adjust, but of course this will not happen unless we bring in someone which i am all for

I'm okay with Thornton being the starting SF for this season. If they can't bring in someone like Childress, so be it.

sorry clipperboy24 but you didnt understand me i guess, even tho i made a pretty clear statement. It doesnt matter if someone is or is not "clearly superior" to al. what matters is what helps the team the most, and his scoring is needed much more with the second unit rather than the first unit, as b_diddy also pointed out. Further, you must not watch basketball much, since i dont remember 6th men having to play less than starters. Ginobili plays 30+ mins a game, i dont see why Al cant do the same.

someone you are all for? so it has to meet your standards firemikesmith ? u must be gm dumbleavy in disguise

lern to read in context it was a complex sentence, not sure if you understand that but a complex sentence has two parts... the first part he states unless we bring in someone, second part states "which i am all for" you are the King of haters, always looking to rip ohers apart. He forgot a comma, you should have enough grammatical understanding and discretion to comprehend that...

actually clipperboy24 u seem too touchy. perhaps you dont understand the nature of sarcasm very well; perhaps me and firemikesmith understood this and you just had to get in the middle. Again, i dont see why it would bother you. Further, why would it matter if Moon is used to playing big minutes? obv he would be signing with the clips with the understanding that al is the future, and bc not many teams are lobbying for his (moons) services he would not have much leverage to demand a certain amount of playing time anyway. Ultimately, Dumbleavy gets to decide who plays and if Moon were a member of this team he would be wise to play him ahead of al, yet still give al 30-33 mins per game. i dont see why you are so over the top in your attacks, its rather alarming and i hope you can start to appreciate the facetious nature of some of my posts

as for the firemikesmith comment dont try to give some bs excuse. You misunderstood and looked like a raging fool, big deal.

As for Moon, what would make him want to come to the clipps and accept a smaller role if we have not even made the playoffs since 06 and before that 1997? Come on, you have to be realistic...

Actually, why would anyone want to sign with the Clippers? I forgot no one ever signs with the Clippers. Especially such high profile players such as Jamario Moon. Further, I was only seconding the suggestion made by b_diddy.

You're an obvious troll- banned!

Thank you.

clipperboy24 i will once again set you straight. First, it was OBVIOUS SARCASM when i replied to firemikesmith...further, you are right why would Moon want to be a Clipper? Actually, why would anyone want to sign with the Clippers? I forgot no one ever signs with the Clippers. Especially such high profile players such as Jamario Moon. Further, I was only seconding the suggestion made by b_diddy. Hopefully you picked up on some of my sarcasm in this post, if not I can explain it further.

I would trade Thornton. He is not very productive as a team player and he should have some trading value. Thornton for Rubio is a nice trade. Do it Dunleavy!

Honestly tho i agree Thornton is not that great, yet I highly doubt the Sota L-Wolves would trade such a gem for a mediocre Small Forward. Wishful Thinking, However

I love the idea of Al coming off the bench, as long as we hook him up with quality mins. I remember when I came off the bench my Senior Year for Downey High - at first I was mad, but then the coach assured me I would be getting great minutes and it was about Finishing the game. I think if Coach Dun took a similar approach to Al the Clips would only become more potent. Lastly, I saw lots of people are bashing the idea of Al as 6th man but the Clips have lots of scorers in the first group of guys, so....

Thorton is definitely a "me first" type of player. When the rock is dished to him everyone bettter start boxing out because you know he is gonna shoot a brick. But i doubt Dunleavy is even thinking about shopping Thorton. If we somehow brought another solid small forward it would be great for al to come off the bench and bring us some fire power

are these the same user? weird how all of the sudden after seanb gets booted these new users pop up and start bantering in the same thread...

anyways i like thornton a lot and think he will b a big par of the clippers success.
