What Now?
So we got a good core of guys - but are we a little thin in a few spots?
Livingston - Cassell
Mobley - Ross
Maggette
Brand - Wilcox - Singleton
Kaman - Z
We also have our two rookies: Karloev - Ewing
That makes 12 guys - which it could be to start the year.
Should we get anyone else? and what and who?
Should we send Ewing to the NBDL or another rookie we bring in camp? I know most of these will have to be answered in camp - but is there any talk about signing Moore? or any other guys? I think a Matt Barnes type player wouldn't be a bad addition - but that could be Karelov's role(a passing long armed small forward).

Re: What Now?
Probably Ewing and Korolev will be added. I think a lot of time will be split between Livingston/Cassell/Mobley on PG/G so no need to get another G. Center is fine since Kaman, Z, Wilcox, and Brand can play it. Forward would probably be the best place to start. Though I am not sure who will fill the void.

Can brand at 6 8 really play center?
I think this team just needs to sit and develop chemistry.
Also, kaman needs to improve

Re: What Now?
i think more defense may be needed with the addition of cat and sam-i-am...how about trying for doug christie even tho he's supposedly headed to the mavs?...i'm confident with q-ross but losing marko depletes our defensive ability unless ewing can show he can play d at this level.

Re: What Now?
If were planning on bringing korolev over, apart from signing mikki moore, id just get some undrafted rookies, or journeyman mimimum guys to fill out the roster. If korolev isnt coming over, id go for someone who can backup SF.

I believe when facing a smaller lineup that Brand can play a little center. He is tough low post defender who can hold his own.

Re: What Now?
Some good free-agents left, what guys would you like to see on the Clippers? I think the Clippers have about 3 million left in cap room.

I have been told that ESPN insider says that for the forwards position these guys will be good: Gerald Wallace, Devin Brown, Glenn Robinson, Damien Wilkins, and Spree.

Re: What Now?
Well the Clippers don't have too much money left so it will be interesting to see how they use it.
