So, you all know may or may not know that I am huge Gilbert Arenas fan. Before all the uncertainty over his future before the injury, I was certain that he would opt out and leave the Wiz. Gil is a loyal guy, and has come to love Caron Butler and Deshawn Stephenson....but...if you get a chance to play at home...it's something that you just have to look at. So, in my fantasy world, Gilbert should would look good in a Clippers uniform, and would instantly make the west even more competitive, if that's possible.
Kaman (healthy) Brand (healthy) Maggette (if he stays) need a two guard Gilbert
with Thornton and Josh Powell in the mix, that's a decent team. What made me start thinking about this remote possibility was this:
"The Clippers have to address Shaun Livingston's physical condition by
July 1, when they would need to give him at least a $5.8 million
qualifying offer to keep his rights. LA can sign him to a multi-year contract, but that seems unlikely given the gruesome injury that cost him the last 14 months."
I know that no one would want to pay $5.8 for nothing, but I have seen these sign and trades go into a million different directions. Three teamers, etc. Just fodder for thought.
Under...I didn't even want to go there...that's like waking up on XMAS morning and Christina Millian is under your tree!!! The was trying to look at it more realistically, as that could happen before an extreme Laker move...the Lakers should have to give up Lamar, at the least, to make it work...too complicated.
Should I start a campaign? My Man Love for Agent Zero? How, before I die, I can have a chance to see that long awaited Laker-Clipper Western Conference Final? Only he can make an old man's dream come true? Come Home, Agent Zero, come home!!
I wouldn't be dissapointed to see him come home to the Clippers (no room for him on the Lakers)
I get tons of free Clip tix through work, so that would be pretty tight.
Dude can flat ball.
I'm feeling jiggy for some reason today...I just sent this to letter to the Times..
OK, I am starting it now. And let's be real. The Western Conference, for the next 5
years, on paper, will be very competitive. The Clippers cannot afford to get good enough
to fight for the eighth spot every year. Donald MUST do something big. Something
Shaq-Like. And that is: Go get Gilbert Arenas. Buy him the best restructured knee and
shrinks in the business, and bring him home. Keep Brand, Kaman, Thornton (beast!),
Maggette, Thornton, Powell, Ross, and Thomas. Bring Gilbert in without digging into this
core, and the Clippers are instantly in the mix. It's that simple. Bring one player here
to make eight better, and who probably will want to stick around. Hey, Corey, imagine
playing FOR SOMETHING?!?!? Make it happen, or anything else you trot out there will be a
charade. Unless you can do better.
OK folks...no, that's not me. It's my granddad, RIP. I look nothing like him, except for the nose, which EVERY member of my family has the same one....
