It's the first night of free agency. Everyone's interested in everyone, but these are the names the Clippers have been tied to so far:

I'm not going to do a ton of in-depth analysis on these rumors because they don't really mean anything at this time, but so far I approve of everyone on their list. I don't really like Hawes but it sounds like he wants too much money anyway.
I'm not-so-secretly hoping for the Clippers to acquire both Ed Davis and Glen Davis, not only because that would be a solid pair of reserve bigs, but because it would be almost as good as the Paul Davis, Ricky Davis, Baron Davis trio of Clippers past. Where is Paul Davis? Can he be the Clippers third big? I'll stop now.
