I actually thought the Clippers would be doing something special.

Until they made a preemptive strike by bidding against themselves offering DeAndre Jordan $8M per when he had no offers on the table yet.

The only thing Caron could possibly be doing is upping his value by showing interest there. If he signs with them...I'll be floored.

T-Mac looks like he's going to the Hawks.

For the vet's minimum though? Wow.

Not that I'm saying LA was a choice, but Jason Kapono got the same deal for two years... or at least that's what's supposed to happen.

Oh no doubt, when it comes to Sterling money will always be the motivation and probably only motivation.

But at the sametime, I'm pretty sure players know their history and know that they may catch teams off guard one year and they'll have everyone start to believe in them and then eventually they'll go back to just being the same, old Clippers.

I guess what I need to see from them before calling a team on the rise is consistency.

RJ is getting the boot in Texas?.... I thought he came off one of his best shooting seasons there.
