Who badmouthed Wilcox? Not anyone in this thread badmouthed him at all, Wilcox is a tremendous athlete who has potential to be a star, and I said he's a future starter.

But about the Clippers bandwagon, I liked them because they were fun to watch last season and the season before, but the moment they got rid of Darius Miles for Andre Miller, I knew the style of play was different and it wasn't going to be the running team that stayed competitive with everyone. At that same time people were getting on the Clips bandwagon like it was the Titanic, with the thoughts that it was unsinkable.

Yeah Odom's out, but Odom's always out. There's no excuse whatsoever, for Miller a guy who people were calling the best PG outside of the playoffs, isn't helping a team with talent achieve that next level of success.

You may not have bad-mouthed Wilcox, but clearly others in this thread did. Saying that his pick was a 'waste' and that someone has no idea why he was drafted isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

They aren't saying he is a bad player, they are saying that he doesn't fit in his current situation.

I really don't like either the Wilcox or Ely pick, assuming they can keep Brand and Kandi. If they lose one though they'll lose the other. I'm pretty sure they picked Wilcox expecting to trade him for Miller, it just didn't work out.

I really hope they find a way to keep that team together. They're finally starting to play well and they've got tons of talent, but Sterling probably won't pay them all. Then again, Sterling's rarely had players worth the money they've demanded. If he is able to resign Kandi after this season, then we'll know that he's serious. If he lets him go, then expect all the other guys to follow.

On a side note, did anyone notice that Dooling's been playing very well lately? I still think he's one of the best young points in the league, it's just that he was injured most of last season and didn't get much PT as a rookie. But he's shown a lot of improvement lately, especially from three point range. If I was a gm for another team I'd try real hard to get Dooling, because I would guess that he comes fairly cheap with Miller and Jaric on the team.

No doubt another may also think for me; but it is not therefore desirable that he should do so to the exclusion of my thinking for myself.

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?

He'd only come cheap if they kept Miller. Which I'm not sure whether or not it'll happen.
