    Clippers and Warriors.

    Both big time losers in the West.

    We're not hearing anything about them right now. But they both want to dump salary. Who wants to dump salary the worst?

    Golden State is trying to be sold. They want to dump salary....bad.

    It is being reported that if the Clippers could dump a salary, they could get far enough under the cap next season to offer a max contract. Don't know how important that is to them. But I would bet they would love to deal Kaaman. BDiddy is untouchable, next worse contract value to Elton Brand.

    These two teams could be a nice alternative to the Sixers/Wizards scenarios.

    If the Clippers were offering up Eric Gordon as the prize for a team to take back some of their salary, Telfair or Kamaan, that might be interesting.

    What would GS be willing to give up? Would they do Monte, Turiaf, an expiring, and Randolph?


    Hmmmm
    Brooks
    Monta
    Ariza
    Turiaf
    Scola

    with
    Lowry
    Budinger
    Battier
    Hayes
    Landry/Randolph

    on the bench.

    Monta would turn this team into warp speed offensively. Not to mention Randolph.

    Do we really need monta? and randolph? both out due to injury..... Only player i would love to have is Morrow, he is young and has a good size for shooting guard, in terms of size Kaman sounds pretty but Monta and Brooks is horrible both need ball to play the game. Turiaf sounds good, too. But i would love to get Morrow!!

    Randolph appears to be out for the season, Ellis just suffered a sprained knee yesterday. And you'd probably have to take back another "bad" contract from GS. As for LAC, they don't really have anyone I'd want that they'd be willing to move. Maybe Camby.

    GS is my darkhorse for TMAC...Morey still loves Randolph and Ellis wants out so something could be done there.

    Edit - I'd believe Morey would be willing to aquire Randolph even if he doesn't comeback till next season.

    Warriors, definitely. I think Golden State is desperate to make changes. I'm sure they're trying to attach those beefy contracts to Randolph. Hard to say on the Clippers.

    Rip Hamilton is intriguing to me. He's old and has a big contract through 35 but he's has the exact skill set we need at SG and despite his age he has always kept himself in fantastic shape.

    If we can't get Iguodala, Ellis is the next best player, in my opinion. He is who I wanted first actually. Only issues now are the injuries to him and Randolph.

    A front court of Randolph and Yao Ming would be sick, not to mention we would finally have size in the Front court!!!!....

    Ellis is an overrated chucker. I would like to get Maggette and Turiaf though. No doubt we'd have to take on Vlad's contract in that deal.

    Maggette has a horrible contract. They would have to give a team Curry and Randolph for someone to even consider taking Maggette. In other words, they are stuck with him.

    Don't necessarily agree with you BUT your opinion is shared by quite a few people.
