If we do end up with the 6th or 7th pick, and lopez/mayo/beasley/rose all gone by then, how many here would be open to hoping that the clippers actually trade out of that pick, perhaps for a lower pick plus filler, or perhaps to say the nets who have 10 and 21?

I havent seen enough of danlio to have an opinion on him, but i must admit im scared by the fact that we havent had a 6'9" european league product who has really done much in a long time, despite all the ones that go through the draft.

Im not interested in eric gordon..getting a tweener SG/PG is always a huge risk. I say if we can pick up 2 picks, or perhaps a pick and a decent player we should do it.

The other option i suppose would be to trade our pick and another pick and move up, but im not sure anyone would be interested in that unless the deal somehow had us taking on extra salary which we probably cant do anyway.

if those guys are gone then yes we should trade down and hopefully get a decent sg or pg

have anyone in mind? For two years ive maintained that budinger fits into our system well. As far as PG goes, im not sure. Collision really got shown up in that last game....

I'll like to trade our pick for both of the Nets' picks if we could and take Augustine at 10 and Rush at 21. That kills two birds with one stone

Clippers would be in a position to get more quantity over quality. I like the Chase pick. I'm not sure any of the PG are an answer though. They're aren't going to be that big of a difference maker in this league. Potential 6th mans I'm thinking.

if we unload livingston then we do have to get a PG with one of the picks IMO. However, if we pick up the livingston option, then im not sure i want to invest a 1st rounder on a PG. Remember, we have knight signed for next year as well. maybe if we did pick up 2 picks, we could get a PG with the 2nd pick, but we dont exactly have great history with picking lower tier PGs (chalmers, ewing, jordan)

At this point, no way to i pick chase budinger up with 6, and it might even be a stretch at 10 depending on how workouts go. But, even if it were a stretch at 10 to do it, id be fine with promising him to keep him in the draft. yeah yeah , i know what yall think about promises, but i highly doubt rose or mayo is going to drop to 10.

I guess it depends a lot of who stays/goes. It could be a retool or a rebuild. Depending on the future of Shaun/Maggette/Brand. I can see the Clippers being close to the playoffs again. The PG position is still a pickle, but maybe Livingston will finally shine.

Livingston
Mobley
Magette/ Ross
Brand/ Thornton
Kaman

That's good enough!

Maybe a move with a team that wants to get into the top 10. Someone hot for Love/Randolph/etc. Swap the pick for the pick of a shooter and a role-player at PG.

with our injury problems involving those players that's definately not good enough

i doubt livy will ever be able to keep up with quick pgs ever again

I agree. Maybe in the east, but not in the west. I sure hope the clippers have the entire summer to decide what to do with livvy, or at least until after summer league, so we can see how much he has/has not recovered

I've been saying this for a while. I wonder if Orlando would be interested in our pick and our 2nd rounder for Jameer Nelson and there first, which we use on CDR.

Or we swap with the Nets like previously said, take Augustine at 10 and hope Budinger falls to 21[which I think is a possibility], if not, do what Paid said and take Rush.

I think we will have better ideas of who we want after the workouts start. From 5-20 there is a lot of parity...someone who is ranked at 7 now could very well go 20th come draft day and vice versa. The top 5 i think might be pretty much set.
