    The Wizards have just traded Cherokee Parks and Obinna Ekezie to the Clippers for Tyrone Nesby

    Advantage Wizards I think. But is Nesby a tweener ?

    The tightwad Clips now have 15 players under contract plus the suspended Keith Closs. Wouldn't surprise me if they weren't done dealing. They still have a log jam around the SF position.

    Maggette is next to go.

    Nesby is a SF

    Yeah, but ESPN plays a lot of those Nelliesque small-ball lineups.

    In the system NBA.com runs, they like to take advantage of the low-post matchups with him at SG.

    I hear Fox Sports is thinking of experimenting with him at the point. [​IMG]

    Nesby plays the 2 and 3 spots.

    An added note to this trade, the Clippers waived Ekezie. So, they traded Nesby for Parks, basically. I am confused at this move. Nesby is a pretty good, young player.

    I don't get it.

    I wonder if Ekezie is in the cards....Rockets need a banger, Francis and Ekezie are likely buds (Maryland). Is it a match?

    Was he going to be a free agent at the end of the season or are they just trying to get rid of all the players with that old Clips mentality? Some one explain this trade. Maybe they havent changed, maybe this was just another Clip Classic move.

    I think it boils down to the clips felt they needed a power forward,I think they could have got more for Nesby though.It does help the log jam at SG/SF,maybe they plan on keeping Maggette?
