Sam Cassell the Coach

Today, according to ESPN (as told by our own Lawler's Law) Sam Cassell was traded from the Celtics to the Kings in a deal to free up roster space and to take money off of the cap. The link also states that the Kings will most likely waive Sam I Am. This seems like a great opportunity to get him to join the coaching staff, as he said he wanted to do after teh 05-06 playoff run. Obviously, I don't know his intentions so this could make my whole point moot. But working under the assumption that he will retire, shouldn't the Clippers at least go out and try to get him? He's got the kind of attitude that this team desperately needs.
What say you, Clips Nation?

Personal coach to Baron Davis?
Would be very interesting.
But if I’m the Clippers I’m not too interested in putting any money in David Falk’s pockets right about now.
Get me BD and 75 and I'm in

Personal Coach?
I’d rather have him playing in front of Baron Davis on this team.
Bingo! Oh me oh my!

I think it was a lot of talk....
I don’t think MDsr would want Cassell on his staff. Just a hunch.

You're probably right.
But I think that it’s still worth making an offer. I mean, it’s clear that this team needs an infusion of…well, something. This franchise is such a mess.

i think cassell
and his personality might be grating on some players especially the young bucks…plus i’m still mad at him for lolly gagging across halfcourt and getting called for 8 sec in that playoff game against Phoenix…boo

I have a feeling
Sam is heading right back to Boston once he gets waived….to become a bench coach under Rivers. Just a hunch. He was a locker room glue guy on this Boston team, and I am sure they want him around some more just to keep the good mojo going.

who could hate sam I am?
i think he’s the only real reason we made the playoffs 05-06
when he’s numbers went down the next year, which was natural for an aging vetran, and when he was in the injured list for a month, brand suffered as well.
