The 12-year veteran reported as scheduled for his physical, and Cassell's opening session with Dunleavy set a positive tone, allaying the Clippers' concerns that their unwillingness to offer him a contract extension might dampen things. Cassell liked what he heard about his role on the team, and he's eager to prove that the Clippers got the right guy.

"My meeting with Mike was cool, real cool," he said. "Mike Dunleavy and I are on the same page, which is what I wanted to hear, because our major goal is to win.
"That's what he wants and that's what I want, so it was … the way you want to get it started. I know what I can do, I know the talent they have on this team, and I know what I can do as a part of this team. It's going to be good, real good."

Baylor, however, shut the door on extension talks, and Cassell apparently has moved on.
"That never came up in the conversation with him," Baylor said.
Said Tucker: "With Mike Dunleavy here, Sam is coming. He wants to win."

But Cassell said it would be a mistake to underestimate him.
