Clippers to trade Quentin Richardson to Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, M.Madsen

[FireMcFailPlease]

Why is Q.Rich worth that much? Telfair is even better than him...

telfairs a back up pg.

on the wolves hes a back up back up pg.

obviously this is a sign that kahns negotians with dvk juventud are going swell, so playing flynn and rubio is a good chance.

wolves save money for next years FA class.

we added a sg(only sg on the team was wayne ellington and tweener corey brewer).

Clippers are waiting until September to make the trade with Dallas.

Buckner (expirer) plus bull[COLOR="Black"]s[/COLOR]hit for Kaman

the issue I have with this trade is part of the issue I had with the Clipps last season.. there is going to be zero chemistry as they chop and change too much, and they end up with a weird group of players being coached by a moron, so they end up self destructing and missing the playoffs.

So far, all we've done, is get rid of one starter from last season (Randolph, who everyone says is bad for chemistry) and have just upgraded our bench and got the first overall pick, yet, no chemistry?

[oh the horror]

The problem isnt the talent. The Clippers are LOADED with talent. The problem is that coach. Dunleavy is HORRIBLE. The man has coached what? What winning season out of how many? And that wasnt even because of his coaching, but more so because of the players he happened to have on the team that year. When does this man step down, and they bring in a real coach?

Just saying it's a possibility.

You might want to check how much your team has changed over the last 15 months. http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/transactions.html
Its just a mish mash. No team can develop and win with that much instability under poor leadership.

Oh ok.


So is Dirk for Ricky Davis and Marcus Camby ;).

I get what you mean, but last summer, we changed all but 4 players when the season started (Kaman, Thornton, Mobley & Thomas), and Mobley/Thomas eventually were dealt. Paul Davis had a short return stint as well.

So far, this summer, all we've done is get rid of Randolph (who is labeled a headcase) and just increased depth. Don't think chemistry will be as big an issue.

[miller-time]

no sympathy?

I don't really understand the point of this trade, I mean it's an alright trade, but wasn't very necessary. Sure we get a back up sg, but why wouldn't we just resign Carney, who imo is much better than Q Rich. Hell the only player that we got rid of that ISNT better than Q is the mad dog.

Oh well, not a huge Telfair fan, but Smith was always a great role player.

Craig smith is a baller

im not sure about the contracts of the people gave up but Qrich is an expirer. also it is not like this trade made us any worse (ill miss you C. Smith )


edit: just found this

Kahn called the 6-6 Richardson's acquisition "less an acquisition at this point than an ability to create [roster] flexibility" and make additional trades, perhaps to target expensive Phoenix shooting guard Jason Richardson or disgruntled Portland shooting guard Rudy Fernandez, Rubio's former teammate with the DKV Joventut team from which Rubio is seeking his release.

looks like i was wrong and qrich may be traded again...

[KOBE24isdabest]

lol @ qrich getting traded three times in one summer!
