Phil loves nothing better than getting a loaded roster that can win right away and I'm sure nothing would make him happier than screwing over the Lakers after they passed on him for D'Antoni. You heard it here first.

If I knew for a fact that Phil Jackson comes to the Clips I would take tanking game 6 in a heart-beat
5 on 5 scrimmage in May? Lionel Hollins is the best dressed coach in the league.

I should clarify: Del Negro wasn't fired as coach. He was informed that he won't be offered a new contract to return. His deal has expired.
I'd be fine with taking Mike Malone away from the Dubs
Phil?

I still see this as a real possibility.

Bledsoe, Jordan, & two 1st Round picks for KG & Rivers. Yikes.

I certainly hope that a big part of this is hoping to appeal to CP3, because otherwise this is a terrible trade.

Old man Pierce is assumed to be coming for free when Ainge buys him out.

Then the Clips are gonna make a run at Iguodala after all this goes down


Sources told ESPN.com the Clippers are concurrently weighing the prospect of offering star forward Blake Griffin in tandem with prized young guard Eric Bledsoe to the Los Angeles Lakers in a sign-and-trade pitch to land Dwight Howard after July 1

The Clippers, sources said, are willing to surrender cash and multiple draft picks to secure Rivers' services and offer young centerDeAndre Jordan as the primary piece in a deal in exchange for Garnett.

Am I reading this right?
The Clippers want to trade Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe for Dwight Howard, then Deandre Jordan, cash, and draft picks for Kevin Garnett?

How does this make them better
Answer: it doesn't. If any of this pans out those will go down as the dumbest trades in recent memory.
