Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 How about this trade? Orlando trades Moore, AA and Baby Minnesota trades Ridnour, Lee and Williams http://espn.go.com/n...tradeId=oosw2g2 We dump serious salaries and open up PT for the young guns. Plus, we get a still young Williams. MN goes to win now mode by adding a starting SG in AA and great back-up big in Baby. Doubt MN has the marbles to do it, but I think it's a win-win for both teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like it a lot, I'd even flip our picks (#2 and #9) if necessary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jagsfreak27 44 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 I like it a lot, I'd even flip our picks (#2 and #9) if necessary I wouldn't do all of that to get THAT trade. Williams will never live up to the #2 overall pick and the other two are marginal NBA players. I wouldn't trade down to make that happen. There are other ways to shed salary.

Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, I'm not super high on Williams, though he's an asset. I actually believe Harris is a better player. I wouldn't trade out picks with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,488 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Vinny Del Negro can't catch a break. Out as Clippers coach after winning 56 games this season. :svgsad:/> He deserved it. Terrible coach. The Clippers half court offense was "Chris Paul, you go make something happen" (or a Jamal Crawford iso). If you win 56 games in the season but get bumped from the playoffs in the 1st round your season means nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His a pretty bad coach but I actually think thats the teams best options, Chris Paul's pick and rolls and Crawford's iso, I actually don't think Blake Griffin's capable enough for an offense to be run through him.

They ran into a tough team in the playoffs and got bounced. It happens. I think that their expectations were to high coming into the season and he did the best he could with a flawed roster. Is he the best coach out there? No, but he isn't a bad option with the coaching market as dry as it is right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you win 56 games in the season but get bumped from the playoffs in the 1st round your season means nothing. I agree to an extent in that getting dump out of the play offs is not a good thing at all. However, the team progressed every year from 32-50, to 40-26, and to 56-26 and won their first division championship this year. So in regular season he did help take the team forwards and help them become competitive. The issue is in the play offs, so perhaps he is not the right man to lead them forwards not that he has got them to that level, but it is a somewhat harsh conclusion that he is a terrible head coach. I think a few teams would consider him. I wonder if the Clippers would tempt SVG to consider returning to coaching this season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
