The Los Angeles Clippers today waived forward Paul Davis and guard Fred Jones it was announced by General Manager and Head Coach Mike Dunleavy. Drafted by the Clippers in the second round of the 2006 NBA Draft (34th overall) out of Michigan State, Davis appeared in 80 games for the Clippers from 2006-2008, making two starts and averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in his career. This season, Davis played in 27 games, averaging 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game. Jones appeared in five games with the Clippers this season after signing with Los Angeles as a free agent on Dec. 28. Jones averaged 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 19.6 minutes with the Clippers.

Is something in the works here? What's going on?

Confusing

What the?? Now I understand Davis being waived, I mean for the long term future of the team, the minutes are probably better going to Jordan. You can see the difference in potential. David would be pissed about it though, considering his career high last wek against the Kings, and what he thought may have been a lucrative off-season for him.

But why waive Fred Jones? Is his injury “long long term”? He would be a good rotation player for us if and when we get healthy.

Hopefully Dunleavy has something in the works to justify this culling. I haven’t seen something this drastic since kangaroo culling was introduced in Australia!

wth...

talk about head scratchers.

I guess we’re really just throwing in the towel. I can’t wait til they come back from the road trip and I get to see how my hard earned money went to watching that cast of idiots…
