Re: Clippers Blow It Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in freaking credible. I didnt think they could blow it once nick fell into their laps when almost all figured hed go to new orleans. They SG for the next 5-10 years, and a local hero they could have had, but no they go for grandpa al. Isnt this guy like 25 years old already? im more upset now than i was when korolev was picked, because we all knew about the promise then.

Re: Clippers Blow It Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely terrible. I still cant believe i had so much hope for this draft. Yup, maybe we should have made the playoffs just to get swept...then perhaps at least we would have been in a draft slot that had thornton off of the board, and thus we had to take young.
Players i would have taken over Thronton still available:
Nick Young
Stuckey
Sean Williams
Rudy Fernandez
Jason Smith
Heck i would have even taken crittenton over thornton.
Thornton does NOT fit into this team at all at all at all, and its not even as if he has upside.
Watch nick young go to the lakers now...

Re: Clippers Blow It Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone *****ing about the pick is not going to help with anything. Al is athletic could rebound and is a freak of nature. So take it how it is we picked him and now he's a clipper

Re: Clippers Blow It Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree 100%. I cant believe this crap. We need backcourt help immediately. Our backcourt will be the worst not to say oldest in the entire league.

Of course he's gonna be a monster offensive rebounder, why? Because we won't make any god damn outside shots!!

like i said above, i hope he makes all of us eat crow, and the best of luck to him as a clipper...just that we all kinda thought he wasn't the best pick at that particular position in the draft...we probably should've traded down...
at least we didn't get one of those soft euros...

Yeah and so is Singleton and Wilcox. Dumbleavy just stashes these athletic guys on the bench.

Re: Clippers Blow It Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, why in the world would baylor pick an athletic forward when dunleavvy has a history of not liking to play such guys. Everything that needed to happen, happened, for the clippers to get young. Or stuckey, or any of those other guys i mentioned which would have filled a need on the team.
Honestly i think singleton is better than thornton. Singleton has been out of college for years and is probably the same age as this guy. This guy is old enough to be korolevs father. of COURSE i hope were all wrong, but this could go as one of the worst clipper picks ever. (based on who was on the board at the time). Of course im sure there will be 2nd rounders who become superstars a la arenas or ellis, but AT THE TIME there were plenty of other guys who fit the team better.
Also lets not forget that boston got ray allen for the #5 pick and wally's contract and west. With our first round pick, our future ones, maggette, and others im sure we could have come up with something more attractive than jeff green, wallyworld, and west. Not to mention the fact that maggette's contract is expiring.

The Clippers have been saying for than a month they were going to take a F, so it isn't really surprise to me.
