Re: Cassell Sounds Happy Now to Join Clippers

"I'll be starting at the one (point guard)," said Cassell, who will be 36 two weeks into the coming season. "Shaun's going to be good one day, but he's not ready for this right now. I can't come off the bench for this team. If this team had a certified All-Star in front of me, then I could understand that. But that's not the case. I realize that Shaun is the future point guard for this team, but what am I supposed to do, lay down? If that's the case, then I shouldn't be here."

Charles Tucker, Cassell's agent, said he talked with the Clippers about a contract extension, but the Clippers have not warmed to that idea. Cassell will make $6.875 million in this, the last year of his contract.
"It's something that we'll continue to talk about," Tucker said. "But I didn't want to hold up Sam taking his physical."
