I was about to make this thread too. I also hear that there was alot of tension with Dunleavy and P Diddy. I really don't know what is going on. It seems like the Clippers are a mess.
Collins should be waived, not Jones. bleh. Also, I hope that the clippers does not trade away Camby. Camby, Gordon, and maybe Jordan(his journal)are the only bright spots in this franchise.

Let's hope whatever this trade is that it is a good one, the only good thing about Dunleavy is he makes good trades and never bad ones while in the Clippers. Everything else he sucks at.
After a little bit of checking, I think I can shed a little more light on the events of today.
Basically, today's moves were made to create a bit of flexibility before cut-down day on Jan. 7.
Quote:
Also, it gives the Clippers a chance to see who else around the NBA gets cut today and tommorrow and see if the best direction to go. That said, it now sounds unlikely the team will sign a new point guard from the group I mentioned earlier (Eddie Gill, Damon Stoudemire, Walker Russell and Troy Hudson) this afternoon.
Still doesn't make a whole lot of sense if this is true.
Something else I was thinking was maybe this "trade" will happen after the Dallas game since the Clippers wouldn't have enough players on the active roster if it happened today. I still think something is up as this still doesn't make sense to me and right now I am not buying the idea that it was to create roster flexibility.
finally got rid of davis. Makes sense, especially since contract was about to be guaranteed. Jones makes sense too so that we can pick him back up when he is healthy with a 10 day contract.
Camby for qrich is ridiculous.
Id welcome something to get baron davis out of here though and get us something decent in return.

08-09 Clippers - Where injuries happen
As coach and GM Mike Dunleavy said, while laughing, when we asked about the veracity of reports out of New York linking the Clippers to a strange three-way deal with Portland and the Knicks, ``Oh yeah, I'm looking to trade 20 rebound (a night) guys every day.''
Really as great as Camby has been for us... whats the point of keeping him? We have no playoff prospect, he's 34, two younger big men who aren't exactly crappy players...
Trade him while his value is high, he's always been pretty injury prone, and even if he stays completely healthy, how long is he valuable to us? Just for this already worthless season?
Clippers about to make a trade???
