The Clippers, who made an offer to Abdur-Rahim exceeding the midlevel exception, are expected to turn their attention to veteran guard Bonzi Wells. The Memphis Grizzlies hold an $8-million contract option on Wells for next season and are expected to waive him if they are unable to trade him before Friday.

Lets all hope that the Grizzlies are not able to trade Bonzi before the 22nd.

Whatever, we're not trading them for a guy we can just sign, just start the countdown, he'll be a Clipper by Monday.

Re: Clippers confident they will get either SAR or Bonzi
what the news reports havent been clear on is the details of a sign and trade for bonzi. Would any sign and trade have to be for that 1 year 8 million option they have on bonzi, or could they renounce those rights, yet still resign him to a long term deal, THEN trade him.
1 year and 8 million would be a big hit to the clippers payroll, HOWEVER, might almost be preferable. Why? It would really only be about a 5.5 million dollar addition to the payroll, with a trade of wilcox, which would almost have to be traded in any sign and trade with the grizz....then, the clippers would have a very valuable kittles like contract that will be expiring next year so that they can play again in the market, or possibly use for an unprecedented mid season trade. If they sign bonzi straight out, they still would be paying about 5-6 million a year, still would have wilcox contract, and would be stuck capped out for a few years to come. Thats the only reason i could see the clippers wanting to do a sign and trade, when they could probably just sign him straight out.... It might work better for their long term plans.

Re: Clippers confident they will get either SAR or Bonzi
I am not sure trading Wilcox is wise anymore. Especially in this situation for Bonzi. Wilcox is the only backup for the Clippers in both the Center and PF position.

Re: Clippers confident they will get either SAR or Bonzi
The only other thing possibly happening is the clippers are trying to do a bigger trade of wilcox/jaric for like bonzi and williams, but jaric hasnt even been rumored to the grizz which is surprising as he would get a lot of PG minutes there. I wouldnt mind a trade like that happening inasmuch as it would get us a good backup swing man and PG. The only thing after that we would need to do is resign rebraca and moore, and wed have a team of:
Kaman Rebraca
Brand Moore
Maggette Bonzi
Mobley Ross
Livingston Williams Ewing
bring sofo over, sign a minimum front court guy and wed be set.

Re: Clippers confident they will get either SAR or Bonzi
yes, we wouldnt trade wilcox unless we had a good idea that we were getting rebraca or another big guy back, as it does seem that we will get mikki back.

Re: Clippers confident they will get either SAR or Bonzi
The Kings are trying to work out a deal to get Bonzi before he becomes a free-agent.

The Clippers now have turned their attention to swing man Bonzi Wells, who has an $8 million team option that Memphis has until Friday to exercise. The Grizzlies are exploring a sign and trade.
"It's still open," said William Phillips, Wells' representative. "But (Wells) coming to the West Coast is a good possibility and the possibility of him coming to the Clippers is good, as well. I've spoken with representatives of both the Clippers and the Grizzlies. I expect the process to go smoothly and quickly."
