I knew it. Look at the aftermath. All the Clipper players are slowly tweeting "Bring back Clipper Darrell." Hes already bonded with the players and formed strong friendships with them, letting him keep the name is a very small price to keep all your star players happy.
Look at the trending topics in the LA area, #CLIPPERDARRELL and #FREECLIPPERDARRELL are on their way to becoming the top trending topics soon.
[QUOTE=TheBluest]Dude it's not like people don't know who he is after all this time. They've probably wanted to address this situation for some time now and who knows how often it's been discussed internally. Brand yourself how you want but tone it down some using the team branded name. Which belongs to the NBA btw.
The Clippers made the playoffs in 2005-2006 did Sterling tell him to knock it off then? Sterling was still greedy then right? Clippers aren't even locked into post-season yet right?[/QUOTE]
Then why not address the issue when the team isn't doing well? And while the Clips did make the playoff that year, they didn't have a Blake Griffin nor Chris Paul to generate any revenue. Besides hardcore fans, no one know of Elton Brand and Cassell was old. Livingston had hype, but not like Cp3/Blake.
Any way you want to spin it, this is a dick way to go about it. Plus, any interviews I've heard with Darrell have always mentioned "Biggest Clipper fan", it doesn't take a genius to connect that with not being a member of the organization.
I hope they fronted him enough cash to get his BMW repainted
Even Andrew Bogut is angry over this:oldlol:

You would think the Clippers would at least consult their star players before risking rubbing them the wrong way. Then again it is the Clippers. Not exactly an organization associated with class.[/QUOTE]
Maybe the players should grasp what exactly has been requested of this fan instead perpetuating the situation into a drama story.....

Its gotten out of hand? Do you even realize how long Clipper Darrell has been doing this? Why all of a sudden is it a big deal?:facepalm
If he really cares that much he needs to explain the actual situation before this gets really out of hand.
this is about him making a few bucks of off the name?
they risk bad publicity for pocket change, just stupid
If Clippers don't want to get Lebron'd.... they better wise up once the franchise player and core guys like DJ speak up.
and hes called Clipper Darrel, not Los Angeles Clippers Darrel.
Clippers made a big deal out of nothing
[QUOTE=FireDavidKahn]Its gotten out of hand? Do you even realize how long Clipper Darrell has been doing this? Why all of a sudden is it a big deal?:facepalm[/QUOTE]
Because the team is successful and they think Darrell's making millions as a result.

I already said the timing was poor/unprofessional but stop acting as if the request was unreasonable... which you are as are many others including the players
It's not like you as a fan would have said "good timing mgmt for handling this in the off-season"(although once again agreed... best time to do so)
We have no idea either what has been asked of him privately until now.
Clippers. :facepalm
They get Blake and CP, still find a way to f@ck it all up.
