What's up, people. There have been some trying
times in Clipperland recently, with the team being 0-2
on a current 6-game Eastern road trip. The Clippers
have four more on the four, and they could be
winniable. They play at New Jersey on Thursday, two
stuggling teams--the Charlotte (soon-to-be New Orleans)
Hornets on Friday and the Toronto Raptors on Sunday
afternoon, and will end in Minneapolis versus the Wolves on
Tuesday. Good luck!<br><br>Also, there have been reports
that idiot owner Donald Sterling is considering
breaking-up this great young team, that's only getting
better. The names mentioned have been Lamar Odom, who had
contract extended last season and will be a free agent at
the end of next season, Jeff McInnis, and Michael
Olowokandi whom are eligible to leave at the end of this
season.<br><br>Some say that McInnis wants to leave, basically
because he thinks he's being low-balled on his contract.
He's making only nearly $600,000, which is the 2nd
lowest salary on the team, ahead of Obinna Ekezie.
Olowokandi is the highest paid player on the team, making
$4.7 million.<br><br>Personally, if the Clips get
something better for Olowokandi and McInnis by trading
them, I'll all for it. McInnis is a steady player, but
he doesn't consistently make the players around him
better, in other words, he's a "me-first" player.
Olowokandi, although he's gotten better defensively, has been
a total bust as a 1st overall pick in the NBA
Draft. But, trading Lamar Odom, despite his troubles, to
me is not an option. When Odom's on his game, he
makes this whole team a hell of lot more
better.<br><br>By getting rid of Odom, it tells us long-suffering
Clipper fans, as well as Elton Brand, Darius Miles and
the rest of the team, that the Donald is still not
committed to winning. Trust me, if this happens, the fan
support will vanish almost completely, and it will ruin
the franchise even more. Hell, if that happens you
might as well move the team out of Los Angeles, because
no one will come to the games.<br><br>I hope and
pray to God that the Donald, even in his own infinite
wisdom, would be dumb and stupid enough to break the
nucleus and heart of this franchise. That's what I had to
say, so see you soon, peace!
