The Clippers informed Coach Vinny Del Negro Tuesday that the team will pick up his contract option for the 2012-13 season, said sources that were not authorized to publicly speak on the matter.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling, president Andy Roeser and vice president of basketball operations Neil Olshey came to the conclusion that Del Negro would at least finish his third year as coach of the Clippers.

Del Negro took the Clippers to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, where they were swept in four games by the San Antonio Spurs.

But it was just the second time in the 31 years Sterling has owned the team that the Clippers reached the semifinals of the playoffs.

Del Negro led the Clippers to a 40-26 record during the shortened, 66-game lockout season, the 60.6% winning percentage the highest in franchise history for a single season.

He came under intense scrutiny and his job became tenuous after the Clippers lost three consecutive games in March.

But Del Negro and the Clippers turned things around, winning 13 of their next 15 games.

The Clippers lost home-court advantage for the playoffs by losing three of their last four games.

But again, Del Negro got the team turned around in its first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Clippers came back from a 27-point deficit to win Game 1 of that series and then won Game 7 in Memphis, to win the series, 4-3.

In his two years as coach of the Clippers, Del Negro has a 72-76 record.

SMH terrible move to bring Vinny


If they really wanna be Lob City, they should have hired Mr. Pringles. Pringles is good with solid PG's and Blake Griffin could be CP3's Amare

Oh well

Wouldn't that be a product of their frontcourt personnel?

Vinny was a bad coach with the Bulls too

back to back seasons of 41 wins with that Bulls team led by Derrick Rose

Clips had more choices here.

Even Paul Silas, with that bad Charlotte team, would be a good choice.

Typical cheap ass Donald Sterling. They'll flame out in round 1 next year then CP3 will search for greener pastures. I knew when they traded for Paul that things would go awry. Same old Clippers.

Stupid move by a stupid team, but they were really weak at the at the two.

If I were gm of that team I would make these 3 moves:

1) Trade Blake Griffin, Mo williams, Gomes (Bass TE), and Butler for Howard, Richardson, and a 1st rounder.
2) Draft Terrence Jones with the 19th Orlando pick to replace Butler.
3) Trade Jordan to Houston for Scola, Budinger, and the 16th pick (Leonard).

Howard / Leonard / Evans
Scola / Tompkins
Budinger / Jones
Richardson / Young
Paul / Bledsoe

Maybe re-sign some of the other guys that came off the books like Billups, Foye and Martin...everybody wants to be gm of that team...too bad they will find a way to screw it up like always.

Not surprised to read that Del Negro's salary last year was paid mostly by the Bulls. He seems like a nice guy. Good for him for schmoozing his way to another head coaching gig when he's clearly over his head compared to many others.

Vinny is the future of Clips. No doubt they made the right move. This should put them in the playoffs for at least another 10 years.
