If they don’t do anything to improve this roster or stay on the right direction, I am through with this team. I hope it didn’t have to end this way but it looks it will. I’m just hanging on barely by the side of the boat & I’m not the only one that is in this situation.

There’s a quote from laclipperfan42 from another thread:
And this guy is a Clipper fan to the heart but not this time. I seriously feel bad for Elton Brand & Corey Maggette. These are some good guys that are finishing last. They don’t deserve to be on a losing team, not making the all-star team & getting laughed at by 29 other teams in the NBA. If I had the chance to trade Brand & Maggette, I’ll do it just for them.

Unless the front office has a plan that will work in the long run, they’re the cheapest, cold-hearted b*st*rds that I had ever seen in my ****ing life. They don’t give an ****ing **** about us one bit. They’re going to say that Bobby Simmons is there #1 priority but looking Cuttino Mobley, Ray Allen, Michael Redd, Joe Johnson & Larry Hughes before him. They lied to us & lied to Bobby; I just only hope the best for you Bobby on the most unknown states in the United States of America. After all the verbal abuse I have had to take from the fans of the 29 other NBA teams (especially Laker fans) for 365 days per year in the 4 years I had been a fan of this team, I just can’t take it anymore, especially that I don’t have the heart for the Clippers anymore.

When they pick that Russian kid, I was seriously pissed off at first because we passed up Antoine Wright, Danny Granger & Gerald Green. Then later I thought they didn’t pick them because they would re-sign Bobby Simmons & bring others to fill in the SF/SG position but I was wrong once again about the Clips mindset. I lost Bobby Simmons to the bucks & it looks like they will lose Marko Jaric to the Nuggets. What it looks like is that the Clips will be dead last in the Western Conference again. And potentially that Korolev may had been the worst pick we had ever had since the "Kandi ****" & the worst thing about it is, that he may not even play for the Clippers.

If you want to rip me for this, fine but this is just from a broken hearted Clipper fan that has said “enough is enough.”

Just to let you know, I'm still a Clipper fan. I just had to get all that negatively out of my system at the time with losing Simmons & etc.

This will continue to eat me alive until we get a cuttino mobley or whoever. Bobby was my second favorite player (next to elton of course) I just hope that they are able to salvage this offseason somehow, but i doesnt look good right now.

I went from liking to disliking Bobby. He's lucky enough to be in the NBA, hell any player who is in the NBA is lucky, and then now he demands 9 million?

All he has to do is put the ball through the hoop, that's it! And he demands money... what the hell? Money shouldn't be demanded.

You have to go back to the draft...if we would have taken Gerald Green or Granger, at the very least we would have someone who could contribute now, instead of later...or never. Gotta love that according to another thread, the highlight of one of the Summer Largue games was Green thunder dunking on 2 Clippers.

I'm not saying that our wack draft had something to do with our inability to sign anybody as yet, but I think it might have been in the back of player's minds.

Now it looks like we are stuck with Mobley (IF we get him), doing something with Jaric (Sign or sign and trade), and hoping we don't get banged up like last year. I'm still going to root for my boys, but its begining to feel like rooting for the Cubs..at least they came close to winning something!

What have the Clips done to make any player believe they are gonna win anything at all?

When you pay somebody in the ten million range, he is supposed to take you somewhere. You have two players at this level yet, you still hit the lottery. Fans talk about Simmons, you had him last year and still the lottery! Then, they say, go get R.Allen, where would he play ?? You can only have 5 on the court at a time. Simmons off of the bench at 9 mil?

Brand is a Ben Wallace who can shoot a bit better. Too small to take over, he is no Barkley. Maggette could be as good as Kobe tomorrow but, his head won't allow it. He drives, gets to the line all game....then the fourth quarter comes and it's 20footers!! You have hitched your wagon to the wrong horses. Livingston and Kaman are fantastic but,their bodies are not ready.

Notice how Kobe himself volunteered to work with Bynum?? I don't hear Maggette offering to workout with Kaman. He has been there for years and still has not bulked up! Plays so hard in the summer league. Why is he there??? Then he has shin splins all the REAL season. What other top center does this ??

LA68

How do you choose Livingston and not Green ?? They will mature at the same time, play together in the backcourt. That could have been the future of the league right there.The Hawks are doing it, the Celtics are doing it!!

One year,you want the youngster, the next year you don't ?? Green would have been a great excuse to let Simmons go but, they get neither.

Get these Laker fans outta here! Laker fans are the biggest bandwagoners in all of pro sports. Clips front office is making us clips fans look bad but dont give up. I said from the beginning to sign Bobby FIRST and then help improve the rest of the team. Oh frippin well! We still have a good nucleus and we can still get some good role players. Lets get over it now and sign Jaric or Mobley and some shooters(Kareem Rush or Kyle Korver). Hey Laker fans where are those gay flags hanging out of ur cars. You guys shouldnt be talking, look how u destroyed ur dynasty a year ago and then u picked Bynum. Kupchak is almost as bad of a gm than ELGIN. Clippers will still have a better record than the Lakers just like last year.

LA68

Well since you share our arena, you should not mind me. Good Nuclei do not finish in lotteries. Sterling has conned you once again. He could not care less about winning as long as he makes his profits. You can't even hang on to Jaric ?? Who is your SF again ??

You fans have got to stand up against this. Vote with your pocketbook!

My Lakers may never win again, but,at least they do try! We win 33 games and call it a disaster. You call it "good nucleus" and "good role players" You whole team is role players!! Those are not stars! Sterling will not pay for that. Manning,C Smith, D. Smith,...I have been through it all before.

Drafted Jaric as this foreigner who would do all these things. He finally came and now he is gone. This new guy will take his place. Wait a few years ,come to L.A. then leave. Schortsanitis anyone ???

What is the plan here?? Wear out your center in summer league? Depend on a mediocre Pf who can't guard anyone and disappears in the fourth?? Livingston will be injured his whole Clipper career, all stars are.

They do not take care of their players, or their fans.
