Hey ya'll! I have been off the grid for the last couple weeks but I have not forgotten that the Clippers are clamoring for an efficient Small Forward, with veteran experience, in order to fill  the black hole that the Small Forward position is for the Clippers. The 2011 Small Forward free agent names that keep coming up are Tayshaun Prince, Andrei Kirilenko, and Shane Battier! With the vast talent that our team has, I would be satisfied with any of those three, but extremely happy if we could possible land Danny Granger and Andre Iguodala.

So looking at the 2011 Small Forward free agent market I came up with six (6) possible Small Forward free agents the Clippers can target, of course, from my perspective. They are as follows: (1) Tayshaun Prince; (2) Andrei Kirilenko; (3) Shane Battier; (4) Caron Butler; (5) Tracy McGrady; and  (6)Peja Stojakovic.

The following is a short presentation of the six possible candidates, in a simple compare and contrast form!
