First thanks CJ for the article...
Quote:
Clippers to trade Randolph for Quentin Richardson
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-cli ... 8192.story
First of all, hows Q's perimeter defense?
Now that we have Q, does this relegate Thornton to the bench?
If i had to guess, i would say that it does, because Q is at least a 3pt threat, although i suspect his defense isn't quite as good as Thornton.
Next, now that we know the two PF's are Camby and Griffin... how do you think that rotation will go? I suspect Camby starts but Griffin plays more minutes. |

If Q is a solid enough defender, I suppose we could do this. Especially since that might be a better fit in our starting lineup with his 3 point ability.
I still think we need to let Al try and prove his worth and show how he has improved since last year. Certainly though, as several of us have been saying for a few weeks now, this gives Al some good competition that should hopefully push him to be an even better player. |

all this can do is motivate thornton to step up
Our line up will look like this if we dont use the money we saved this year on another key player or two
BDiddy/mike taylor
EG/RDavis
Thornton/Q!!!!/yNovak
Blake/Camby
Kaman/Camby/DJ
Another bull dog off the bench pf would be a nice addition |

Looks like mardy gonna be a third stringer
Second units gonna look like:
Mike Taylor
Ricky Davis
Either Q Rich or Al Thornton
Novak
Whoever Dunleavy feels like playing Kaman, Camby, Jordan
this is awesome |

We also have Mardy Collins who was a decent defender. I recently watched the Clips vs Boston game and he was really doing a good job on Pierce. |

| Q can probably play the 2 spot as well, then you have Mardy who can play 1, 2, or 3. Man, If memphis backs out of this deal....game over |

| I hope coming back to the Clippers will help Richardson revitalize his game. He had his best years with the Clippers. Al coming off the bench will be great he is instant offense and energy. |

| No offense to AT but I say let Q or AT earn the starting position in practice, training camp, and preseason. Let the player that performs better start. We can now be a big player in free agency next year. About 17 mil to play with. We are young and rebuilding. We need to keep the young core of guys together. |

| I just heard that also. He sounded pissed that the Lakers only offered the midlevel exception. They said he would be willing to take less to leave because of feeling burned by them. Cleveland looks like they are the favorite. |

If the Lakers dont get him I think he would come over here. He's from LA, his son lives in LA, him & Baron both own part of the Conga Room across from Staples Center, and him and Baron are both from UCLA. I think there's a good chance. |

| Ariza was awesome in the playoffs and looks like a really good young player who's been upping his value... Hopefully, he doesn't break the bank, because there have been lots of guys who had a really good stretch, got a big contract and then never lived up to it... Austin Croshere comes to mind... If he comes in, I suspect Al or Q would go... Probably Al who could bring us a solid PG. |

| Yup, there was a recent article about Ariza & players that got huge contracts that never amounted to much. Not sure where I read it but it was very recent. We need to make sure if we are serious about him, we don't make a mistake and throw the bank at him. |

Welcome back to Q, I say let keep him around at least til the trade deadline like Camby. This looks like a great deal for our cap flexibility.
I would say have Thorton and Q compete for the starting spot. The same goes for Blake and Camby at PF, and Kaman, Camby, and DJ at center.
Now with our the extra from getting rid of Zack we can definitely sign a solid FA this offseason or make some serious offers in 2010. |

agree. al i think will be the most productive off the bench since he's the guy that needs the ball to dominate in the offensive end.
with this line up davis, gordon, blake, and kaman.... thorton is relegated to a spot up shooter which he isnt very good at
but with the bench he can be the go to guy at the post |

| I always liked Q Rich Dun will probably have them conpete for the starting spot but if it was me and I had to choose it would be Q. I think he had his best year with the suns when he was in the three point contest. I missed this too good post my nap was a little longer than expected. |

I agree- let there be competition. I think Al will win the starting job, however. |

| i think Q has a bad back, thats why his numbers have steadily dropped the last few years. i dont think anyone should expect to see the Q we remember from his previous time with us this time around. and i highly doubt we'll see him in the starting line up to start next year, if at anytime at all. but you never know. heres hoping he can stay healthy and contribute.... |

| I'm pretty sure that Q will be coming off the bench. I remember when he still played for us, and his 3s were beautiful. If Novak can come back, and if we can make one more sign--we have a nice bench. |

| I love Q's ability to dominate smaller defenders in the post. he was so good at that in LA. Hopefully he can get back to having more of a complete game rather than flinging up 3's. However I am very excited to have Q back and I hope dunleavy incorporates him into the offense. I think he can be a very valuable asset this year!! |

Seriously, we need another all star calibre player. We have BD (maybe) EG, Blake and What's his name. Al has a cheap contract, great upside potential. We need a monster SF. Al and Ricky (or maybe Q) are expendable. If Q beats out Al, Al needs to go. Q's a bench guy.
But again to add to my total confusion if BD can set up Al better so he can slash.--- We now have three 3 pt shooters. A combination of Novak (please come back), Q, and Eric (2 of the 3 on the floor )should really open things up for him. If Novak hits the gym and he plays PF and draws a big out of the paint and Cakeman finally gets that jumper he should be able to draw out their #5. He could shoot or since his footwork is semi great, he should be able to spin and beat their #5 to the rack and hit the Dunk (?). Think about it. Al will shine a lot better. He can't create for himself but maybe some coaching will help especially since DTS let him know he's expendable. |

| well, q's play has noticabley declined since his clipper years. since he left the clips, his number have dropped from by half. i wouldnt expect the old Q rich to be back. but i do beleive that he's a good defender and i think of him as a physical defender that can rough someone up a bit and get them frustrated. BIG AL'S starting. |

How old is Q?
How many years has Q played in the NBA?
I'm wondering if we can add him to our talented nucleus. Personally i think Q's an awesome player and we're lucky to have got him for Z to the Bo. |

Bobby Simmons also comes to mind... A few great months, a big contract and then nothing. If we're going to spend a lot of money, better on a completely known commodity. |

| I absolutely LOVE this trade, and only for the reason that we got rid of Randolph. I had posted in my other thread, that even though he might be the most talented on our team, we needed to get rid of him to develop our new winning attitude with our new young nucleus. Ricky Davis would be the next step, but that's not as pressing as Zach was. Bringing in Q Rich is pretty much irrelevant to me given how overjoyed I am that we now have a young nucleus that can start developing chemistry together and that ever so intangible, yet important, winning attitude. As far as Q-Rich goes, I hate to break it Clipper Nation, but he isn't that same young high flyer, head pumping, player he was way back when he was with us (man, I really liked that team though). He's now 29 years old, and an old 29 at that. He's been bothered by a lot of injuries, especially a recurring bad back. So to think he should start over Thornton is a bit outlandish. Now, he is still a very serviceable bench guy who can come in and provide some scoring in the form of the 3-point shot and some limited attacking. But mainly, all I'm trying to say is he is not the same Q-Rich he once was back in the day so let's forget about him starting, and leave Thornton out there to get his on fast breaks. Maybe Q-Rich will even help Al further develop a 3-point shot. So great trade, but Thornton is still starter. |

| Thornton should start ahead of Q Rich hands down. This year we should really focus on developing our core nucleus of EG, BG, and Al and get some overall good chemistry going with our team. I love this trade. If we can stay healthy and have a decent season this year we will be MAJOR players in 2010. LEBRON 2010!!!!!!! please |

Al needs to start. In 2010 we'll have money, but what will really draw players here is if they feel that our young core is legit. If they see Gordon, Thornton and Griffin with huge numbers, all-stars might want to come here. We need to inflate Thornton's stats as if he were corey maggette  |

| Al will definitely get the starting nod. Q will help us but Al is the SF of the future (unless we pick up Artest). He has earned more minutes and needs them (contrary to what many here think) |

| al will start. q has a bad back and is in on the decline. this team looks a lot more like the 2006 team, except we need a point guard who can shoot like cassell and a good perimeter defender like ross. |

| Lets try to get Rudy Fernandez if Portland signs Turkgolu. He can solidify our bench just incase Sticky and Q aren't healthy all season. |

When Elton left, there was a void which was it was hoped would be filled by Zach. Since clips lucked out and got Griffin, who can really replace Elton, dumping Zach for anything is a plus. Q Rich - who knows, at worst it's an expiring contract, at best he'll fit in and help the clippers get back to decent. There was a comment somewhere that the Clips wanted to get up tempo last year to properly use BD and Q Rich has had a lot of experience in those type of system including his last year with us.
My biggest concern is Blake's learning curve. The coach was quoted as saying he would start with pick and roll and then post up, mid range jumper, and finally a bank shot. Sounds like he's got a long way to go. And how big is he? Dominating the depleted college ranks doesn't impress me, although his physical talents do. But is he 6'10 or is he 6'8''? |

its not just you, but i keep reading people saying we need another big guy... we have 4... why the heck do you guys think we got rid of Randolph after drafting a PF? 5=too many
if it comes down to needing both frontcourt starters to sub out at the same time, camby is capable at playing 4 DJ can play 5. |

Agree totally, the better teams all seem to develop players like DJ like the Celtics w/ Perkins and Davis or Utah w/ Millsap and Miles. DJ looks to me like someone in that mold - second round pick with lots of potential. Dumping Randolph should help his development. 4-5, its not that much difference. He's another big in the mix. |
