I havent heard anything about Ross, but its probably nothing guaranteed.

It's probably a roster invite, and the money becomes guaranteed if he makes the final roster. Basically what Richie Frahm signed with Portland.

im hoping its true. He plays excellent defense. While his offense isnt great, this means that we can take mags out of the game, and still have a good defender out there.

Ross wont see much time even if he is on the roster.

Jaric and Simmons are both better perimeter defenders, and will get minutes before Ross. Jaric may have to get some time on the wing depending on exactly when Livingston is ready to play.

here you can see like a first statement concerning Quinton http://www.eurobasket.com/bel/bel.asp i could also give you a link to a belgian site but i doubt if anyone would understand it.
I sure hope he'll get a shot at it... i'll keep my fingers crossed for him

if barnes isnt brought back i see him getting lots of minutes at the beginning of the year...possibly 15-20 or so. Granted, if livingston toward the second half of the season all of a sudden becomes nba ready which most dont expect, yes, the clipps will have to find some minutes for jaric at other positions. I think ross is a better perimeter defender than simmons and jaric...the way he can stick even fast players surprised me in the summer pro leauge, and his anticipation for the passing lanes is uncanny. However is weaker and smaller frame as opposed to the rock simmons would make simmons the better defnder in the post

Anyways, in other clippers related news, portland seems to have offered Miles a 4 year contract for the MLE, while he is asking for a contract that starts out at 9 million a year. Granted, hes just saying that so that whever he ends up with will still be fairly high, but it definately looks as if he wont sign with portland for any long term deals unless portland matches....

FINALLY, an article on the clippers by one of the LA newspapers who seem to write about the lakers every day but not the clipps.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...adlines-sports


Says Q will be fine with going back to the clippers...even was his priority before the suns came knocking.

Clippers supposedly are researching trades for ray allen or kerry kittles. Dont know why theyd be interested in the 30 year old kittles whose numbers have progressively declined since 96-97.

Says they are giong to get a shooting guard, back up center, and depth at point guard. The last one doesnt make sense at all, when you have your starting point guard, and drafted two others. If 3 PG's isnt depth at PG, i dont know what is.
