    To the minimum. Meh, okay depth signing I suppose.

    Glad we now have Lance, Wesley & Dawson, Athletic guys that can guard multiple positions

    I think it's a start. We needed a defensive SF that will start. Plus it's for the minumum, so that isn't bad.

    I like it for what's left.

    Nice kid, hated his game. This is like throwing away something particularly nasty in your neighbor's trash can just because you don't want it to stink around your house.

    First Barnes, then Farmar, now Wes. Some guys just don't wanna leave LA, easier to move locker rooms. Glad to see him go, hope he costs them a few games with clutch turnovers.

    It would appear that way. I'm not even sure what their rotation is right now.

    Paul/Crawford
    Reddick/Stephenson
    Pierce/Wes Johnson
    Griffin/???
    ???/???

    Who else is on that team right now? Did they bring back Davis?

    edit-added Stephenson

    Forgot Stephenson. Unless you figure something out during what's left of free agency, they'll be playing small ball with Blake at C and PP at PF.

    Rivers isn't re-signed, so I forgot Lance.

    And rumor has it they're going after Josh Smith in FA too. So their best bet is convincing McGee to sign for nothing, right? If they can get Smith and McGee for vet min contracts, then their roster doesn't look totally awful but... it doesn't look very good either. Especially if those vet mins don't work out and Stephenson doesn't have some sort of resurgence.

    Russell........Paul
    Clarkson......Reddick
    Kobe...........Pierce
    Randle........Griffin
    Hibbert.......McGee

    Williams......Crawford
    J. Brown......Stephenson
    Young(?)......Wes Johnson
    Bass...........Josh Smith
    Black..........???

    I actually think they end up dumping Crawford and re-signing Rivers again to free up Stephenson for more playmaking duties. After that they get a bargain bin guy like Ryan Hollins. I mean without knowing how Russell and Randle look against pros, they've obviously got an edge this season but any season moving forward?... Hm...

    This was what I was thinking of, even though pre-mature in the Lakers v Clippers tale of the tape thread.

    But like you said, we don't know the final lineups. Wow on this new Clippers bulls***

    We gotta keep Hibbert and Upshaw away from Cuban. Man he's going to scream bloody murder if the Clips steal DJ back from him. Is this a little like our 2nd meeting with LA? Guess we can't scream too loud but definitely sucks the proverbial big one if it happens.

    I still won't fear them and look forward to the games. Who's not up for Julius bumping bodies out there with Biff?

    Wonder if Ballmer melted down on the FO for letting this happen? Would mean bye bye franchise. Had to.... Rivers' a** is probably still bleeding.
