First I was reading the blog on ESPN about the potential Randolph trade and one person wrote -
"LA fans love the Grizzs' GM, he's like Santa Claus!"
That may be true.
However now that Randolph is out of here this will potentially free up around 7 million dollars in cap space. I doubt ClippVille is going to be looking at Ramon Sessions ( Which truly, truly makes me sad, he'd be the last piece of the puzzle to make our bench look like this - Sessions, Q Rich, Camby or Kaman, Jordan ) giving us a more well rounded and talented bench.
I think now, we keep Kaman. Kaman may have gotten us the best VALUE player wise, but the cap we would take on would have been equal. Randolph move would have been strictly a salary dump, which is what we got thank god.
But we gotta keep Kaman. Even if he gets hurt again. When he can play he gives us great minutes, and if he does get hurt we can see Jordan step in there and really progress. Anyways when Camby leaves and I know he will for a championship cntender in 2010 Kaman will be our C. I really felt that we needed to move one of these 3 and I think this may have been the right move.
Now onto 2010 - say we dont use this 7 mill we got, or maybe we sign someone to a 1 year deal at like 6 or 7 mill like Iverson ( Why not its a 1 year deal and he can play the 1 or the 2 ) and we have nearly 20 mill or more coming off the books in 2010. Who if anyone do the Clippers go after?
The logical choice is Lebron - however why would he want to come here? We'd really have to show we can WIN in 2010 and he'd probably have to take LESS to come here.
Wade is my 2nd choice - Why? He can run the Point for us and we wont have to worry about not trying to trade for Rubio or getting Sessions or passing up on multiple PG's in previous drafts. We could even run EG and Wade as PG's and let them each do some of the work themselves.
Steve Nash is out there but hes too old. Amare would be nice, however his youth would bring on a huge dollar salary that I wouldnt want to deal with. He needs to be somewhere where he is the #1 guy and not playing with Gordon and griffin who will be our main go to guys.
However who the hell really knows. We'll have nearly 20 mill now ( thank the friggin lord ) to go after some big names (* yes multiple players ) to fill in starting or bench slots to make us a big time cntender in the west and we now have room for Griffin who should have a terrific year. |

I don't think we need to be looking at one of the giants in free agency.... There will be a lot of guys out there and still only a handful of teams under the cap... There will be bargains to have... And by then we'll have a better sense of what out needs are? Is Griffin the real deal? Is Kaman going to get back to form? Is Thornton a keeper? Is Baron inspired? Is Jordan a potential starter? Will Taylor be more than energy off the bench? Because we haven't been successful, next season is about answering those questions and many of them could be answered.
We'll be in a very good spot next year to answer them...
Of course, if we hang onto our money until 2011, we can get Zach back. |

| With Jordan working his butt off in drills and exercises this offseason I'd be VERY happy if his game flourished to that of a good game!, If he could become a defensive wall in our 2nd unit I'd be happy, heck if he could outplay Kaman to a T, id be happier |

I say we keep our cap space for 2010.
Stay away from the MLE unless it's to a player for 1 year. I really like the Iverson idea if he's willing to be a third guard. He'd sure as hell put some extra butts in seats.
With the 7.3 million TPE I'd target someone like Korver or Ridnour, both are 2010 friendly. Utah could trade us a future 1st and Korver for the TPE and this would allow the Jazz to sign Milsap. Our team is now that much better this season and we are still ready for 2010.
Of course in 2010 we make courtesy calls to LeBron and Wade, but I think the more realistic shot could be Joe Johnson.
We could also go for broke this year and forget about 2010. We have a very valuable TPE and an expiring contract in Richardson. |

| The Mavs have supposedly agreed to terms with Gortat for the MLE, the Magic can match the offer however. |

Not so wild about Iverson... Over the last five years he's left his teams worse for the experience of having him. I also think him and Baron would be oil and water, both trying to dominate the game offensively, trying to outscore each other.
If it goes badly with him, and it could, we could go through all next season and still not know what players are keepers or not... For all his talent, he's not a guy I want... Particularly on a team that's trying to find its way... Maybe he'd be good on the Lakers or Spurs, who have secure leadership in place... But we don't need any more immature, me-first, veterans. |

Artest supposedly just signed with the Lakers. Should we throw a MLE offer at Ariza?
We could really go for broke this year and say screw 2010. Try to sign Ariza for the MLE.
Use the 7.3 million TPE to bring in more talent.
Trade Q-Rich's expiring contract for someone better.
We could wait for 2010, but we could also go all out this year to make the team a lot better. |

lets just sign Fred Jones back , since he can play the 1 and 2 position.
Save money for the 2010 F/A , and make some noise. |

haha that was my thought. didnt ron and kobe hate each other a few months ago during the playoffs? Ron is crazy.
Also, Id personally take Ariza over Artest. Not sure why the lakers are picking Artest first before re-signing guys who already won and championship and have chemistry with the roster they have in place.
Latest on Ariza is that he has been talking to Houston today. Im guessing Cleveland ends up with someone too besides Shaq but not sure who that might be yet.
For us, I feel the best thing to do is wait a year until the 2010 offseason and make a move. No FA this year is worth the money or young enough and we arent a contender yet anyways. Let our young guys continue to get better and get a ton of playing time and then after this upcoming season we evaluate the roster and look at the amazing 2010 free agent crop and go after 1 or 2 guys that really put our roster over the top. |

| Josh Childress? I would go beyond the MLE. He's worth a sign and trade. I'd give up a future draft pick and give him the Randolph exception (or swap him for and expiring contract). Why hold on to max space for the 2010 summer when Childress is the exact kind of glue guy this team needs. I think he could even be superior to Ariza if given the chance to start. |

There are only 3 guys that I noticed that I would sign to a max contract in 2010. LeBron, Wade, and Joe Johnson. Is there anyone else out there that would be a huge upgrade to what we have? |

I like Marvin Williams as well. We could offer one of the Hawks SF's a MLE deal, if the Hawks match we then offer the other SF the same deal. I don't think there's any way the Hawks match both.
If we wanted I bet we could trade Camby for Nate Robinson. The Knicks get Camby who could help compete while not hurting their 2010 cap number. We'd get a third guard that could play with both Gordon and Baron.
I'm starting to think screw 2010. What are the real chances that we sign someone anyways. |

Marvin isnt a bad option. He has greatly improved his three point shooting and is a solid overall player.
As for NRob, i dont think we need any more shoot first guys on this team. With EG, Baron, Kaman, Al and potentially BG, we got plenty of offensive firepower... |

So does pretty much everyone agree that we should use all assets available right now to try and build a team?
We could easily make the team much better and deep by signing Childress with our MLE and then trading the TPE for Ridnour. We'd still have about 13 million to spend in 2010. We could also choose to move the expiring contracts of Q and Camby to make the team better as well.
Baron, Ridnour, Taylor
Gordon, Collins
Childress, Thornton, Q, Ricky
Griffin, Novak
Kaman, Camby, Jordan |

I agree Hooch..I mean why not this snag a SF who can start and a good back-up in ridnour
Then we'd really get to see what we are in need of come next year and draft a 1st rounder accordingly to what we need next year. In addition, i believe Thorton has the potential of being a 6th man of the year type of player. |

Childress would be great, but we'd still need a backup PG unless your good to roll with only Taylor. Ridnour could be had for nothing more than the TPE and his contract is 2010 friendly.
If we're comfortable with Taylor we could sign someone like Bass to backup Griffin for a portion of the MLE and then try to work a sign and trade for Childress. Maybe a future 2nd and the TPE for Childress. This would also insure the Childress contract isn't matched. |

The Childress idea is getting better by the minute but doesn't he play the SG spot? |

| Oddly enough, I'm willing to leave this one to Dunleavy... In trading Zach he's undone one of the two really bad moves he made as GM (the other is drafting Korolev)... Everything else he's done has been rock solid. |

Eff it, I'm throwing it out there: LeBron as a 2010-11 Clip? Only Griffin/Baron/Kaman/Gordon under contract next summer. Hmmm. - Bill Simmons
Imagine marketing and publicity in LA. New headlines would be, "LeBron vs Kobe for LA." Lebron Jerseys and Kobe Jerseys seen walking side to die, it would be an amazing scene. But it's wishful thinking for now.. |

Childress came into the league as a shooting guard, but he plays both wing positions (in fact, I believe that was a necessity when he shared minutes with Williams/Smith.
Hooch, that is a great plan. Good chance of it working if Williams re-signs with the Hawks for a big deal. I still wouldn't mind handing over a future pick if it guaranteed Childress coming over (instead of waiting 2 weeks for them to possibly match). |

Yeah, I thought so. Must be getting old, cause I only remember him playing the SG spot. |

Childress plays PG, SG and SF, he is 6'8 with great ball handling skills, He is a pass first shoot second SG/SF more so, think more like Cedric Bozeman and Shaun Livingston point guard IQ, with a great offensive game
Hawks still have his rights, would need to trade for him. |

Josh Smith also came into the league as a SG. Since then, he's turned into more of a SF/PF combo. Just a fun fact, FWIW.

I would give up a pick for Childress. I think the Hawks would consider it. |

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I said, I don't see it happening.
It's nice to dream though  |

| The Clippers have been struggling to fill the PG postition for ever. Sam brought us our best years especially when Livingston wasn't hurt. Getting BD should have had a similar affect, but was a great disapointment. Hopefully he and the team can turn it around. We have seen so many other teams fill this critical postion. The Clips have to address the position long term. Short term they could go after Shannon Brown who showed pretty good skills and plenty of athleticsm. |

And we had a few good years when that guy, help me out - coach of the Celtics- was a pretty good PG. It was part of the Elgin Legacy that he couldn't pass over a big and the guards have been afterthoughts. |

| Ramon Session already signed back with the Bucks and Childress won't come back next year. Won't he have to wait a year like Rubio if he leaves. I thought Childress also left for the money, he'd be great to fill the gap at SG and SF I just don't see it happening. If he did play PF it wasn't long or for more than one game he's just as skinny as Livingston. He's looking to get paid. |

Childress got paid what like 7 mill in Europe? He was offered I think 5 to play here. We can get him for 6 or 7. He just wants the money to come back and play here, and frankly he's worth every penny. |
