Re: ELTON BRAND: With, or without?

Man, what the hell are you talkin about? Stop twist my words to fit your wack ***, novel-sized arguements. And I don't give a **** if you have an issue with people like me. What because I think the Clippers can be a very good team if they keep Brand and try to bring in someone else to play with him either through the draft, FA or trade?

And it DOESN'T matter if we almost signed someone. What did we get a consolation prize or something that I don't know of for ALMOST signing Kobe or Arenas? And I'm not saying that nobody would sign with us, I'm goin off your arguement about how you look at history and how we haven't do this or we haven't done that. And we haven't been good in signing high quality FAs. We have been decent in completing trades that get us good players. And most of the times when teams get lots a cap space they just end up overspending on players that aren't that great.

Basically, the point I'm trying to get through to you is that without Brand, the Clippers aren't that desirable of a destination for a player like Arenas who says he wants to play for a contender. So whats the point of hoping Brand leaves and we have lots of cap space if it isn't guaranteed that we can land someone that is his caliber or better? The reason we ALMOST signed Kobe was because he liked the talent that was already on the team and he felt that with him they could be very good and better than the Lakers. If we don't get Arenas and Brand opts out then we will be screwed. We will have a serious lack of talent or we will end up signing mediocre players to undesirable contracts.
