Around SBN: 21 Days Later, Wolves win. Bar-right-arrows



Clippers.com: What should Clippers fans look forward to in the long term as a result of your new responsibilities?

Coach Dunleavy: Like I said before, we certainly worked hard to solidify all of our needs from last season, but one big thing that has gone unnoticed for those not inside the organization is the unique position we worked to gain for the 2010 free agent market. In 2010 we will find ourselves with approximately $35 million worth of cap room in what is shaping up to be the biggest summer in the last decade in terms of free-agency.

And that’s the kind of foresight and planning that takes place behind the scenes. You know these moves aren't sporadic by any means. This team has a "win now" perspective, and you can see in the way we went out and picked up an All-Star in Camby after losing one in Brand. Coupled with Baron, that means we’re up two All-Stars and down one.

Even with our "win now" attitude in place, we still firmly believe in a "win later" perspective as well. With the year 2010 in mind, we will be looking at a team based in Los Angeles, practicing out of a $50 million Training Center a mile away from the beach, playing at STAPLES Center, filled with high-profile guys like Baron Davis and Chris Kaman, budding with rising stars like Al Thornton and Eric Gordon, and all that with our $35 million in cap space leverage for what is shaping up to be a huge free agent market.

Actually coach, it wasn't only the folks inside the front office who took note of 2010. It came up once or twice on Clips Nation.
