CB and RD:

I don't think one can essentially state that "player A" will be better than "player B", or vice versa. I say this because one of the players could have a career-ending injury next season.

There's always that chance. The future is not set in stone.

No, Odom is not going to be gone for a year if he messes up again. Get your facts straight. It is not a mandatory year suspension. That is for harder drugs than marijuana. For every offense here on out, it's only a minimum 5 game suspension. The league gets to determine how long he is out, but it's not a year long suspension.

As for Miller - He's going to be better than Odom? I love Andre Miller. I would love to see him in a Clipper uni for the right price. But, he's not going to get any better. He is a fantastic player, and he's going to be at this current level for a long time coming cuz he is young, but he doesn't have the ability level to continue to get better. He's going to be pushing double digit assists for probably another 10 years and that is fine. That makes him one of the elite PG's in the league. But he isn't the type of player that is going to get drastically better as he improves. He's kind of like an Elton Brand. Excellent player, but doesn't have the physical skills to really take his production up anymore.
Odom is a different type of player than Miller, and I would take Odom right now over Miller. And Odom is the type of player that is going to get better with time. He has the ability to be one of the Top 5 players in the league when all is said and done. Does Andre Miller have that type of ability? Certainly not.
Odom's value is driven down a bit right now cuz of his suspension, BUT, it has not dropped low enough that you would have to include pick #8 to get Andre Miller. And I wouldn't even trade them straight up cuz once Odom gets back on the floor next year, he'll command WAY more than Andre Miller in return.

Don't need Dre

They don't need another PG, they already have Jaric, McGinnis, Dooling, and Boykins. They are one of the deepest teams in the league at the PG position.

Clippers PG Problems...

The Clippers may have the most Point Guards in the league but one of them has proved nothing(Dooling), One who they have said they won't resign(McInnis), a good but short backup(Boykins), and one that hasn't even came over from Europe yet(Jaric). I think Jaric and Dooling will eventually be good PG's. Jaric has great size, 6-7, and is being compared to Jason Kidd but again hasn't came over yet and proved that he isn't just hype. Dooling has great athleticism and has a ton of potential but has been injured. McInnis is a good scoring point guard but isn't really they play-maker that the Clippers really need. Boykins is a good play-maker but his size really hurts the Clipps on the defensive end. They all probably have the most potential but it comes down to quality over quantity.

..

They don't need another PG, they already have Jaric, McGinnis, Dooling, and Boykins. They are one of the deepest teams in the league at the PG position.
