Do they need him to that? The Clippers are perfectly capable of doing that on their own, after all. < Good. >
Lebron to Clips would be VERY intriguing... LA cities fight it out with stacked lineups headed by Kobe and Lebron.
If DTS would sell the Clippers, I predict they will become a very successful franchise and would be high on the radar for free agents.
You can't blame the Clippers for shaking things up a bit in the front office. They have a HUGE offseason ahead of them. The ability to offer a key free agent a max deal is a luxury that not many teams have. Of course, they're still the Clippers so the moment they pony up and sign somebody you can pretty much rest assured that player's career will immediately nosedive.
the Clippers have always been a success financially, revenue-wise. its translating that into winning success by actually spending the money he makes...thats the problem with Sterling... and I agree with your point.
