why we’re keeping him

at the rate people are being traded I think the only people who aren’t in danger of being traded are: Gordon,Kaman, and BD (although I don’t believe we will deal Hart or Camby because we just got them you never know) .

I doubt we will get a better player for him and if we did it would be a deal that goes until at least 2011. He’s a serviceable bench player and his contract is almost over.

He’s actually not such a nightmare as a backup, and he seems complementary to Kaman-Camby, and can also backup Thornton at SF. So he’s in a key spot. He’s a big guy who can hoist up the three, and without playing huge minutes his percentages might go up. Or they might go down, hard to say.

But now that GSW just matched Azubuike, the game might have changed a little bit. Thomas is attractive to teams because his contract expires in 2010, and he can put up some numbers while they hold the fort. All of a sudden the Clips need another backup wing, as well as the role played by TT. So they might look around to put him in a deal to solve the problem.

Bummer about Azu.

is with a draft pick or two and it can only be to Memphis or Atlanta. I don’t think it will happen

Is that GSW matching on Azu forces the Clippers back into activity.
