MIke Dunleavy Still Coming To The Clippers

ALERT - ESPN REPORTS THAT COACH DUNLEAVY IS STILL LOBBYING FOR A TRADE TO BRING HIS SON TO THE CLIPPERS, OTHER REPORTS CONFIRM.

ALERT- REPORTS CONFIRM THAT CLIPPERS MANAGEMENT ARE RESISTING A STRAGHT ACCROSS TRADE OF MAGGETTE FOR DUNLEAVY.

Coach Dunleavy, who is supposed to be the great talent evaluator, has been exposed in TopBuzz as being the great pretender when it comes to evaluating talent. But his eyes could not be any more blind than when it comes to his own son, Mike Dunleavy.

Drafted early in the first round 4 years ago by Golden State, and after being traded yesterday to Indiana, there were all kinds of GM's and other talent evaluators who declared Mike a bust for Golden State. The scouting report is that he is very inconsistant and can't shoot straight. The skinny is that most NBA players miss more often by shooting short or long. Mike misses by shooting left or right. He is the shooter who literally can't shoot straight. Proof is that he only shoots 34% from the 3, and in his last 3 games scored 4 pts, 2 pts, and 18 pts.

Since he had worn out his welcome in Golden State and finally traded to Indiana, he wore out his welcome in Indiana in only one day. The Pacers are already on the phone trying to trade Mike Dunleavy to the Clippers for Corey Maggette. Based on his Dad's comments yesterday after Mike's trade to Indiana, that basically said that he was disappointed because he had hoped to trade for his son because of his high basketball IQ and great shooting ability. But unike Mike Dunleavy, Corey Maggette consistantly produces every night. And everyone knows that if you were to move Maggette, the Clippers glaring need is a dead eye 3 point shooter, which Mike Dunleavy is not.

All this will not keep Dumleavy from making another talent evaluating mistake. Since he was so disappointed yesterday, he is probably elated today because the Pacers already want to move Mike Dunleavy over to the Clippers. They are looking for a sucker, and the only one they can find is his Dad. They seem to have no interest in Mike's inabilities, and see Corey Maggette as a major upgrade.

We can only hope that Elgin Baylot stops all this insanity, and either keeps Corey Maggette or waits for a better deal, like Ray Allen. If you had the rights to Ray Allen, would you trade him for Mike Dunleavy? Not unless you had just drank two bottle of Tequila. But Coach Dunleavy is drunk with his admiration of his own son. Let's hope that wiser and more stable minds prevail and this deal does not go through.
