Didn't see this when it was posted.

It's like he's in some sort of cosmic contest to be the biggest dick to have ever lived. Fucking die already, shit. I mean, as a Clippers fan and a hopefully decent human being, I have always backed off wanting to see the guy pass on, because that's fucked up. But seriously, at this point, what does this guy bring to this planet that it needs? Unbelievable.

BTW, I already liked the other players, but big thumbs up to Brand, whom I have shit on since he left the Clips. I know he's always deserved better and was very good (when healthy) for the Clips, but the way he left the club still leaves a bad taste... Still, very nice to see he was involved in this.

FTR, Kim Hughes was always an assistant with the Clips before his brief tenure as interim head coach last year, and he was certainly just an assistant seven years ago when this happened. While I am sure by normal standards, he was making a comfortable living at the time, it probably wasn't anywhere near so much you would think he could just run off 70 grand.

By all accounts, Hughes is one of the really good guys in basketball, BTW. Never heard a bad thing about him. When he was let go last season at the end of the year, in typical Sterling fashion, the Clips more or less notified him of his firing with a form letter and a press release; not sure which he saw first. And DTS probably "Al Davis'd" him, like he did Dunleavy and Elgin Baylor, refusing to pay out their remaining contracts. Hughes deserved tons better.

The Shit Donald serves no purpose here anymore. I wish the NBA would step in.
