Saw this on the ESPN board:
Hello Scott:
I know that there are tons of rumors out there, regarding the Clippers and their efforts to move up in the draft.
Unfortunately, I must tell you now, that I'm no longer the Clippers beatwriter for The Register. In fact, the newspaper has decided NOT to cover the team anymore.
It's part of a restructuring overhaul that you have to know that I'm very unhappy about.
I have prided myself the past 10 years on trying to provide Clipper fans with insight on the Clippers - both in season and during the off season.
But because of the paper's focus on being a web-first media outlet, I won't be covering the Clippers at training camp, on the road or at home, anymore.
Thank you very much for all of your interest and comments in the past. I really have appreciated all of my correspondence with Clipper devotees.
