Stop With the Isiah Stuff Already

No way Thomas fits here. I do respect Thomas as a great drafter he always found solid players in the draft and they were able to show signs of improvement. He killed himself as a GM in free agency but Thomas is a hell of a draft guy in seeing young talent.

And its total anarchy.

sterling is a racist bastard, it won’t happen

All of it. ClipperSteve reverse mojo worries, John R anarchy, the rumor itself.

It’s an amusing subhead of the “It’s the Clippers” category. People out there just have a kneejerk assumption that the Clippers will do something truly stupid and self-destructive, even though they haven’t been that kind of team for years now. Yes, they’ve had plenty of misfortunes, injuries, and bumps along the road, but the days of abject bumbling, especially when it comes to personnel, seem to be over for good.

The Isiah rumor—which states nicely the idea of “what’s the absolute stupidest thing the Clippers could do”—is reminiscent of a lot of the reaction and speculation after the Clippers got the number one pick. It took a lot of people a while to accept that the Clips would do the completely obvious thing and draft Griffin. They just kept thinking that the Clippers would mess it up somehow.

Of course, since “It’s the Clippers,” it did get messed up, and Griffin hasn’t played an NBA game yet. But they didn’t do the stupidest thing imaginable, not by a long shot.

Another good example was the minor furor about bringing in Iverson. I even thought it was a good idea. But GM/CMDSr had specific requirements just to consider Iverson. It didn’t happen. it didn’t even come close to happening. Instead he went to go have fun with FElton.
