So the Clippers feel that their franchise just cant sink any lower...

Thomas is a great coach, as long as he is not doing 2 jobs.

 

That would be awesome. Blake Griffin for Elton Brand would probably be the first move.

 

Well, at least the black Daryl Morey knows how to draft guys... and Clips will be doing a lot of that.

 

One final plea from a Western Conference exec. on reported Clips contact of Isiah Thomas to run operation: "Please God, let it be true."

Front office responses on Isiah-to-Clips: "Initial reaction is that it's not true, but it's the Clippers so I'll have to reserve judgment."

Getting some fantastic texts/emails from league front office executives on Fox Sports story on Clipps contacting Isiah. Should I post a few?

This would be like a tug of war with the worst owner and the worst GM ever on one side. What force could possibly oppose them?

 

Goodness. Just this 1 move will turn them back to the Benoit Benjamin days.

 

Will never happen.

 

I don't know why Sterling isn't going after a Morey-type of a GM. It's perfect for a cheap owner: GM gets paid less, his statheads are cheaper than flying scouts everywhere, more likely to hit on high draft picks, produce some wins without having to pay anyone... I see no downside.

 

It requires high initial investment, and a high amount of faith. Statheads abound aplenty, how do you know which one to hire? Plus like I said after you hired the stathead you have to invest in technological babble, and hire personnel to help the said stathead out. He can't compute raw data with his head, he has to have high tech equipment to do it.

 

This would be hilarious.

We should then immediately offer this:

Doesn't surprise me, Zeke has got a perverse Midas touch like Larry Brown, doesn't matter how much he's screwed up in the past, he'll always find someone to pay him 5M a year. I heard NY Knicks owner Dolan still has dinner with the guy.
