LOL That's just funny. They already have Zach, is signing Marbury next?

The Clippers are like Isiah's Knicks of last year. Dunleavy is the white Isiah.

Who knew he was really their inspiration!
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

put isiah in charge of the draft or possibly just scouting, and don't let him have any input on trades.

We can talk about Isiah taking Frye over Bynum, but lots of teams passed on Bynum.

As a coach? That is kinda not the direction I would go with Isiah. He was ok his first season on the bench, but I don't think he showed anything spectacular.

why are people suprised? Isiah is a good fit there. We wouldnt have any money to spend, so he would fill that roster with athletic guys. If he wasnt allowed to make stupid big money trades the team would be Ariza, Frye, Nate, Lee, Crawford, etc etc... they would win about 30 games a year, have some exciting games, put some fans in the seats and Sterling would be thrilled.

you're forgetting to add in the 2 first rounders for Curry - Aldridge and Noah, and then the picks that went for Marbury.

I suspect if he had been told no trades giving up picks, we'd be winning more than 30 games- that squad would probably be in the 40 win category eventually.

I used to make fun of the Nets by calling the the "Clippers East".

Sometimes though I wonder if the Knicks would be the better fit for that shameful title.

Now we know who to trade with!

just hold on until the draft Isiah!

Maybe he'll get hired before the draft and we can trade him Lee and Nate. Both of them in resigned deals for Camby and their 2010 pick would work out nicely.

if isiah's not allowed to spend $$$ and just use the draft, he might not be pure evil.

He's still pure evil.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Agreed...As an Isiah defender over the years...Let me say this, his mandate to win at all cost was not a good choice...I would have loved to see his mandate be what this current has..Get under the cap and rebuild through the draft...We might be all singing a different tune right now...That said, he did a horrible job here...

If Isiah goes to the Clippers maybe we can trade Curry for two first round lottery unprotected picks.

This is funny because the Clippers have sucked for the last 40 years and IT has sucked for the last 17. So it's only natural that they merge. Imagine Dumbleavy, Isiah, and whoever the hell owns that pile of crap. I hope Clippers fans are ready for another 79 years of epic fail.

Yea, supreme. Your country is curious at best. I am sure you can find employment somewhere.

Have you heard of the New Hampshire top-less coffee shop? This is how you must think. They are making a killing.
