    I guess now they will make a strong run at Amar'e, if bought out.

    Rockets are missing one of their star players, now the Clippers will be without one of their star players. Let's see which coach can keep their team afloat.

    Maybe Griffen won't miss much time.

    David Lee had a staph infection a few years ago and missed a ton of games.

    Clips Schedule next few weeks:

    They could drop to #7 easily. Or worse.

    If truly out 4-6 weeks, I expect they'll be the new frontrunners for Amare assuming he's bought out, in which case I doubt they suffer much.

    Anybody but Dallas, please!

    When Chris Paul was out last year for several weeks, Griffin put the team on his shoulders and kept them afloat. It was different though when CP3 was without Griffin; Clippers are much worse without Griffin than without CP3. So I agree with lots of posters above me.

    Cursed. Every year they're on the 'verge' and get taken out somehow. At least, for them, it's not his legs.

    So you think replacing Blake with Amare will keep them afloat? That's a huge drop off. Amare is a role player at this point in his career.

    So how negatively does this effect the value of the NOP pick?

    This probably means the Rockets will end up playing them in the first round. ****!

    This is potentially huge news for the Rockets. We play them 3 times in the next month.

    Could this mean KG is bought out from Brooklyn and heads west to LA?
