has nothing to do with pessimism, it has to do with realism. And you are pretty much saying the same thing as others that thornon is a decent player. No one is doubting that. He just doesnt fit into the team as is now. An undersized PF, unproven SF who cant play SG nor center is pretty much the worst possible scenario that we could have had.

Ive been to nick young private work outs, and saw nothing wrong with his work ethic nor attitude.

Kaman will never be traded unless were getting a true center, and a decent one at that in return, or at least a superstar PF such as a gasol. Something highly unlikely to ever happen.

Clippers havent proven they can make the moves necessary to move this team forward, lets hope they pull off another cassell like trade. But right now we can only expect busines as usual until the clippers prove otherwise. And i look at almost every team in the west improving, but the clippers just getting older, and not having any room for improvement, barring a trade that would be uncharacteristic for them.
