Should Doc be fired? Or should he just be made to coach the terrible roster he built?

Rondo's new team is going to take down Chris Paul's...

BTW who does Sacramento have at PF on the bench now that Landry and Thompson are gone?  They need Bass (another Rondo buddy)...

  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
Miroslav Raduljica would have been helpful. Not a lot, but would have been helpful if they didn't waive him. Big body, can atleast rebound.

Now the Clippers are stuck. If I'm Doc, I'll look at Greg Oden. At this point, why not. I'd also look at the best Center in the D-League.

Or just sign Fab Melo...

Man, the Clippers are in big trouble.

They're also spent from having so little depth.  Might be good for them to chill out for a year and get a pick around 18 (do they have one?).  If they had traded Chris Paul for quality depth as I recommended they could have signed Rondo and DJ wouldn't have left...Rondo would have done fine feeding Blake and Jordan and they still could have signed Paul Pierce....

looks like you could be a better GM for them.

Firing Doc right now would be doing him a favor.

Biyombo would be a good fit there

At the same age Deandre Jordan had per-36 numbers of 10 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks  ... Biyombo has per-36 numbers of 8.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 blocks

Biyombo is basically a poor man's DeAndre Jordan.   If Clips need a cheap defensive center who isn't going to demand the ball on offense, that's a good bandaid.

Biyombo is a poor man's Jordan in the same way that I am a poor man's Einstein.

Before you argue with me, know that I crushed him on the SATs, bro. He didn't even show up.

Koufos S&T for Crawford makes sense if it works under the CBA. Koufos says yes, since he'd start, get a raise and gets a chance to show enough to get a good payday in free agency down the line. Memphis gets instant offense off the bench.

A nice center like Amir Johnson could've helped the Clips.......oh wait :)

But after reading that link, I don't think they could've even signed Amir, due to their roster and salary constrictions.

The link makes no mention of this "Chris Paul vs DJ" rumbling that I've been seeing from time to time. Hard to believe that CP3 or Blake did not try to convince him to stay....or did they?

Oh well.

I'm not sure that DAL will be much better, but the Clips just got a little worse. Sorry to see PP34 go there and now have to deal with the flux.

Koufos is the guy they need. They get him and they win 50+ games again.

Doc should stick to coaching and stay out of the GM part as he is obviously overmatched. My guess is he gets Perkins and perhaps Bass in a sign and trade. Why any conference competitor would help them is ridiculous.

That terrible and mediocre roster still has two of the best players in basketball on it -- we'd trade any three players on our roster for Paul or Griffin.
