And it seems to me that most NBA fans think that just because the Clippers suck they should be happy to get anything back in return for Baron and Kaman (or any Clipper traded).

I think what most fans of other teams don’t realize is that many Clipper fans like Baron and Kaman and would like to see them playing together. Many Clipper fans would rather see the coach go than to make some trade that would be better for other teams but worse for the Clippers.

I don’t think any fans of any team would think a bad trade is “ok” just because the team has a bad record.

I think trading away a young 20/10 center with an all star caliber point guard for a couple of average bobcats, marcus williams and “Hell No” Maggette-O (injured on top of that) is a BAD BAD trade for the Clips.

Unless there is something seriously wrong with Kaman, like a heart condition that would force him to retire, I would not trade him yet, and not for those guys.

Unless Baron has sustained some career ending injury, I don’t think the Clippers should give up on him either.

I think Corey was loved while he was here but after his remarks about Dunleavy I doubt he would be welcomed back, much less pursued in trade talks.

Plus, I think SJax wants to play WITH Baron. I don’t think he wants to be part of trade that gets Baron there with him going to the Bobcats!

yeah why not ? i mean since we suck so much we should trade down 2 of our best players for 4 scrubs.

GS gets Baron and Paul Davis, we get JET and Randolph, Dallas gets Bellinelli and Maggette

I like the Ellis trade above but I don’t see how the Warriors would trade Ellis when they pretty much let Davis and Pietrus walk so they could resign him and Biedrins.

I’m guessing this is just something for talk shows to talk about when our teams are a combined 25 games under .500

His field goal % is heading to below 25. I thought 30 was bad…right now, Brevin Knight and Dickau is looking pretty good. Heck, bring back Rick Brunson or coax Gary Grant out of the retirement home.

I think there is one thing that goes unnoticed in the trade involving kaman and baron…its not really about who the clippers get back, its the contracts they get back. Instead of owing baron and kaman a combined $100+million over the next 4-5 years, you can instead owe maggette half of that over the same amount of time. If you notice, the contracts of williams, may and felton all expire after this year. The clips would have quite a few bucks to spend, especially in the derby of 2010, where maybe they would find a suitor for the dunleavy system that just doesnt work for baron…at all. It gets the clips out of bad contracts, give the warriors players perfect for there system, and gives the bobcats players to help build under the larry brown regime. The warriors are not going to give up too much youn talent to bring him back, but at least under this scenario, the clips get a do-over card. Plus, in a year or two, maggette and his contract will be moveable as the length of time shortents…dont write this trade off on its face clip nation, there is a big benefit for the clips. Remember, the warriors got baron for speedy claxton and dale davis because he made himself worthless during his unhappy tenure in new orleans/charlotte…the same thing can happen under dunleavy with the clippers if their 8-22 record turns into a 50-114 record over the next season and a half
