Apparently the Blazers offer to Nate is $6 mil, not $8. That makes me feel more confident in a Nate return.

Seattle is still high on getting Ray back, apparently, so if they have to they'll add incentives to his deal that he originally asked for.

Ray's the key for a lot of returns---A.D. says he wants to come back to seattle, which I'm sure is more for Ray than anything else, even though he said he loved the city and fans; that might sway him to come back, who knows.

I've never even thought about the possibility of Ray going to the Clippers. That would be awesome, but they would have to pay a HUGE price for him. They have a chance though. I like the Clippers approach to FA. I just hope they don't come out empty handed like last year.

You're kidding right? Allen a Clipper? We have a better chance of winning the championship next season.

Which by all means is not out of reach.

For some reason, I could see Simmons doing great with the Cavs.... But we should be seeing him do something great in LA...

I have a bad feeling were not going to get him or Allen.... that would be at tragic offseason.

And a couple of seasons doesn't cover up a great many seasons of poor spending and cost cutting.

Sterling has a history of EXCELLENT spending, paying the right players, and not paying the undeserving players. But even THAT is irrelevent. What IS relevant, is what sterling has done the last few years, and what hes doing right now, because that is the only thing that players will be interested in, and that actually counts. A player like allen is not going to look if loy vaught was given a contract extension in 95 (thank goodness he wasnt), he is going to look at what path the clippers are on the last couple of years, and where does it seem they are going. 5 years ago, a player might have wondered if the clippers would ever shell out big bucks. Now, it shouldnt be a question.
