    If Clippers take Griffin, its poor Rubio!!!!!!!!

    For a guy who wanted to live and play in NY, an Italian guy, stuck in OKC or Memphis for 4 years!!!!!!


    It's like a bad sitcom.

    I think the Clippers will trade down. Honestly, if they remain healthy and add depth, they are a decent team so I don't see why not trade down for more picks and a role player ala New England Patriots.

    Clips need to go BPA.

    HUGE mistake.

    Forget the now. If you take Griffin, you've got Griffin, Thornton, and Gordon as a core going forward.

    Thorton isn't that good.

    If you start rebuilding right now then you've basically signed Baron Davis to that HUGE contract for no reason. The whole point of him coming to L.A. other than Elton Brand was so he could win at home. Also, the Clippers already have a log jam of big men. Where will Griffin get minutes between Randolph, Kaman and Camby? All three expect to get 30-35 minutes per.

    The bench is good for the Clippers if they move Ricky Davis and add a solid back up small forward and replace R. Davis with a shooting guard who doesn't need the ball to be effective.

    And I'll reiterate, the Clippers can not fully rebuild with Baron Davis' fat contract eating up their cap room.

    So they'll trade him. There are plenty of teams who need a PG of Davis' ability. Someone will give you cap space for him......

    Nah he has his Spanish National Team teammate Marc Gasol in Memphis.

    Gasol enjoyed Memphis when he was here.

    +1.

    Ricky Davis has no role on the Clippers.

    Baron's contract will be very hard to move, hes still due $12 Million + for the next 4 seasons.

    ZBO is impossible to move, hes lockerroom and on the court cancer.

    Kaman could get dealt, there are still a few GM's who know how effective he is when healthy.

    Camby will get dealt, good veteran big man expirer.

    Rubio never mentioned wanting to play in a huge market, I personally thought it would help better promote him to the masses.

    Rubio fits in Memphis, its not as high profile and he has his teammate Marc Gasol here to help him adjust to the NBA lifestyle.

    We'll see he's already been traded twice recently. And I highly doubt Camby will leave unless for a promising young player. Camby is needed to teach Deandre Jordan.

    It's a good day to be a Clipper fan (how often can you say that?).

    Landing the #1 pick was the only way out of tailspin and we did it.

    Gordon + Griffin might be a legit championship level core down the road if Griffin can achieve a young McDyess level.

    Thorton needs to be traded. Kaman needs to be traded.

    I'd love to have Kaman traded for Tayshaun Prince - we need a defender/facilitator at the 3 spot.
