Re: comparing benches in LA
I'm not too worried about the Clips bench this season with the exception of one glaring omission: the lack of a veteran guard/shooter. The team brought in Cassell who will likely split time with Livingston at the point and can even play some SG when Livi is in the game, but who will they go to off the bench for any clutch shooting? We have Ross who will play solid minutes at that position, but he's more defensive-oriented and doesn't have very much range as of yet. Though he isn't a SG, signing Kapono would seem to take care of that problem. I'm assuming Singleton can play some SF, but Kapono would be nice to have as a deep threat when we need it. Another guy who also still available that I really like is Fred Hoiberg. He would definitely bring depth and reliable offense. Another big man might be nice as well, someone like maybe Tony Massenburg? Nothing sexy, just another vet who will come cheaply and can give you a little toughness off the bench.

Re: comparing benches in LA
I believe Kapono is RFA. Who do u want to trade for him? Hoiberg has heart issues so he might not even play this year. From what I heard the Lakers are trading for Kapono.

Re: comparing benches in LA
At this point I would be thrilled to see Pike back in a Clippers uniform. Nobody has the kind of range #52 has.  |

Good old Pike, how I miss his days as a Clipper.

Re: comparing benches in LA
I loved Pike. I wish he would come back. Is he still in Chicago?

Re: comparing benches in LA
What would you guys think about someone like Wesley Person?

Re: comparing benches in LA
Wesley Person would be a great addition... but his price is too steep for Baylor, Roeser and Dunleavy.
Kapono is the right price.
If JK is a RFA then i don't know what other options are available.
Clips have no trade value or bodies to even think about trading...
unless they trade a starter for more bodies and a starter.
Clips will go with what they have on paper. I think Korolev is coming. That will get the lineup to 12 players and then they'll fill 2 more spots with minimum wage guys that will participate in the NBDL for the Clips. It looks like the Clips and Lakes will share a NBDL team...maybe a Pacific Team that may include Sacto and GSW.
Massenburg would be a nice addition.. but i really believe the Clips will only add 2 more players that will make no more than $1.8M combined to keep their salary to the league mandated minimum spending range. Remember, the Sal Cap is or the luxury tax line is at $61M. Clips are currently at $49M.
Let's swing Kapono (sign and trade) for a draft choice, 2nd rounder in 2007.
Can't wait till October when camp opens.

Re: comparing benches in LA
I don't know, Person made just a little over 1 mil last season and he didn't really do anything to up his value. But, I would probably take Kapono over him if a deal were possible.

Person is an old player but he still have some stuff left. One thing I noticed though with Person is that he didn't like the Clipper players. I recall he was always talking smack and acting like a ***** against the Clipper players.
