    Kaman/Camby/Jordan
    Griffin/Smith/Skinner
    Thornton/Butler/Novak
    Gordon/R.Davis
    B.Davis/Telfair/Collins

    Clippers have a pretty solid 14th man rotation...

    That must be one crappy option for someone like Skinner to not exercise it. :)

    How come Brian Skinner is still in the league while someone like Olowakandi is out of it?

    Don't know why the Rockets never tried to sign Skinner as a backup. He's a Texas (Baylor) native and has proven to be somewhat adequate at center.

    But their coach is pathetic and something seems to always go wrong.

    Or maybe this season will be a magic carpet ride like a few years ago. If Blake Griffin plays like a stud, it could be an interesting season.

    gotta credit the dudes hustle. Managed to stay in the league for 12 seasons despite having little to no talent.
