One.

They’re grooming Lou Williams to be the heir to Andre Miller, but I just can’t see him evolving to become that unselfish. He’s more Ben Gordon than Kirk Hinrich. I wanted them to grab a shooter in the draft or make a move for Mike Miller, but it can’t rain all the time. The best part is having Mareese Speights develop under Brand the next 4-5 years–I envision it like how KG molded Perk and Leon Powe this year.

Fresh:
The Clippers should never be pitied–futility starts at the top. However…in this case, I really feel for them. They let Maggette walk specifically to sign Baron and Brand, which Elton knew. They’re actively trying to change their culture…and everyone leaves!

BTW next year’s draft is gonna be really weak. I don’t blame the Sixers for giving away the pick. Their last few picks have been solid (Iggy, Lou, Thaddeus), and they needed the cap space to win now, forget waiting. Normally I’d agree with you but I can see why Stefanski dumped the pick for cash.

Doc:
Boozer was the first guy I thought of when Brand bounced. He was a jerkoff–there was no reason to walk away from playing with LeBron back then except for cold hard cash.

It’s also becoming increasingly clear that the Carlos Boozer incident was the moment we officially lost Lebron James to New York. This game is fucking rigged, man. I feel like throwing up.

As for the Sixers, it’s obviously a great signing for them but I never like it when a team gives away a first round draft pick and gets nothing but cap space in return.

And say what you want about Gilliam, but that Gumby he used to rock was one of the illest haircuts in the league. Dude couldn’t play defense to save his life, but you could pencil him in for 16 points every night, all of them coming from the exact same hook shot every time.
