    I disagree. No offense and ball movement. His rotations were awful too. Same thing every game.

    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.

    Imagine if they had gotten Jerry Sloan. Would have been scary.

    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.
