    I can't believe I am saying that the Clippers actually have a brain, but...

    If they indeed refuse to grant Mo Taylor a sign-and-trade, I will be one guy that will applaud them.

    Sure, they lost a free agent without compensation, but that happens to them all the time. Their chances at landing a good player for Taylor were slim anyway and they would've probably just gotten a bunch of dead weight salary that would restrict their movement over the next couple of years.

    No, denying Taylor (and Falk who is the NBA's version of Satan) is a very important move because it forces Taylor to play for a contract rather than just get what he wants. Falk and Taylor wanted to stick it to the Clippers by leaving and giving them nothing in return. Well, the Clips called their bluff and I'm sure they are in panic mode about now.

    Good for Elgin Baylor, Donald Sterling and the rest of the freaks at LA's red-headed stepchild franchise. At least they got this one right.

    Falk and Moe dogged the Clippers and its sad because both are suppose to be adults. They could have atleast shown a little more respect for the people putting money in their pockets. There is no need to kick someone when they're down and in the Clippers case, dead...

    To tell you the truth, as much as I want Moe, I am more than a little bit hesitant of the possibility of dealing with Falk. I don't know, he just always struck me as the type of guy who would cut your nuts off on Christmas Eve.

    However, I imagine all agents are like that [​IMG]

    An Admin putting the wood to Mo and Falk has my blessing to do it anywhere they please.

    I dont thin Mo is the problem, the falk "employee" should never be at fault. Jeff is write, Falk is satan. He is should change his name to Greed.

    Satan is Hell's version of David Falk.

    I still am glad Maurice may get screwed, but there's no doubt he'll eventually land a big contract. All these people clammoring to sign him and then get pissed at Pippen for doing what he did need to stop and think. Mo blasted his own teammates in public and acted like a spoiled brat as well. I don't want that no-reboundin' goon on this team and it looks like we may not land him after all.


    Of course if we get him and he ends up taking us to the playoffs, I'll delete this post and act like you're crazy if you happen to call me on it...

    I think they are panicking big time right about now. Hats off to Detroit throwing egg on Satan's face by saying, "Thanks, but we really don't want all those scrubs!!!"
