Interesting LA Clippers tidbits from 'ESPN The Magazine'

DeShawn Stevenson would be a nice addition to the clippers if they could get him. Give that team time to develop and they'll be good some day.

Maybe Piatkowski is an ex-convict, and he simply has bad memories of standing in a shower next to 7 foot black guys named "Lamar"

If they keep the players...

Sometimes you gotta do the next best thing!

 

I really hope for that team's sake they can keep the talent they have for a change. The franchise has suffered long enough.

The only reason the franchise has been terrible for this many years is because of their horrible owner. I think his name is Sterling.

It's not like the fans suffer either. We're talking about LA fans, the biggest group of bandwagoners in the history of sports.

I enjoy seeing players jump ship from that team and going off to a better situation, and ANY situation is better then playing for the clippers. Also it gives these young guys perspective and realize that no matter how much money they get paid it still sucks to lose. So whenever they go to a new team they'll be that much more hungry to win.

Of course the main reason I'm all for the clippers losing players left and right is so that the rockets can get ahold of those young stars in the making.

BRYANT DEMANDS TRADE TO CLIPPERS
Lakers management shrugs off aging star's complaints

LOS ANGELES Lakers guard Kobe Bryant insisted today that a deal be made to send him to the Clippers. The announcement follows yesterday's loss against the defending champion Rockets. The loss marked the Lakers' twentieth straight, a new franchise low.
Bryant, who said he's tired of being on a lottery team, has long expressed interest in playing for the Clippers franchise. The Clippers advanced to the Western Conference finals for the second consecutive time in last year's playoffs before being eliminated in six games by Houston.
Lakers management would love to rid itself of Bryant, whose contract pays him an average of $20 million over the next two years, but has been unsuccessful in finding teams interested in the washed-up star.
"I even offered Shaquille [O'Neal, Clippers General Manager] our 1st rounder with Kobe for Joel Pryzbilla and Jake Vokshul, but he just laughed," said General Manager Michael Jordan.
Bryant reflected on the Lakers' fall into mediocrity over the past ten years.
"I remember when me and Shaq won the title back in 2000. The Clips were the team everyone laughed at then. Now we're the ones getting booed at home, while the Clippers contend for the championship," Bryant said.
"Well, I'm through putting up with this [excrement]. I don't give a [flying] [excrement] about this [flying] team no more. I don't need this kind of [excrement.] I'm Kobe Bryant. I'm the greatest. And I'm going to get out if I have to kick Jordan's {rear]. Where is that [flying] [excrement]head."
Lakers game attendance is at an all-time low this year.

I would love to see that happen.
Kobe deserves to be on a losing team with the way he's been acting all year.

It's a pretty good article, if any of y'all have chance, take a gander at it.

The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
