The Clips should be a fun team to watch next year just to see if or how they will develop any chemistry with B. Davis, Ricky Davis, Tim Thomas, the oft-injured Camby, and quirky Kaman.  Sounds like a headache team for Dunleavy.  anybody think this team can make the playoffs out West?

Ricky is a good signing for those Clippers. They need someone else who's comfortable creating his shot off the dribble from the perimeter. They've really solidified their perimeter rotation now. They might be able to make a run for that 8th seed if Gordon/Thornton provide enough help next year.

Still need some big men off the bench to backup Camby and Kaman.

Interesting that the Celts could have had Davis for the basically the same money they gave TA.  Ricky signed for 2 yrs/4.7 mil.

They could have signed Ricky for cheap, but he's a head case, Tony's not. Tony can play is role perfectly as he did last year, but Ricky requires the ball to much to score. As soon as the ball hits his hands, its thrown up for a jumper that he can't hit. In LA he'll be a go-to-guy for offense. I can't say if they're playoff material until their bench is filled.

Baron Davis, Ricky, Cat Mobley and Tim Thomas on the same team?  Bombs away!

 :o. I can't believe it. I know the guy has his warts but > 2.5 mil a year is some serious value. The guy was almost 6th man of the year once and is still in his prime. I'm one of the few Pro-Ricky guys around here, and hope he can break the crummy team chain he's been dogged for so long with.

I'd rather have Ricky Davis than Tony Allen.  Both are headcases.   

While Ricky is a mediocre defender, IMO, he gives more overall than Tony Allen.

Couple things, don't all players require the ball to score? As soon as the ball hits his hands, it's thrown up for a jumper he can't hit? He shot 40% on 3's last year. That statement is flat out inaccurate.

Tony played his role perfectly last year? I think most posters will agree that Tony Allen was nothing short of awful last season which is why he was out of the rotation by the end of the year.

Got a point. He has always had impressive numbers. But then why so cheap. Maybe he is a bad as they say. Regardless was not going to be wearing green.

Clippers are looking good!

B Davis/J Hart/M Taylor
C. Mobley/E Gordon/Q Ross (?)
R Davis/A Thorton/M Williams
T Thomas/j Powell/N Frasekas
C Kaman/M Camby/DA Jordan/P Davis (?)

Davis could come off the bench like he did for the C's

Ricky Davis cannot really  guard SFs. Tim Thomas cannot really guard PFs. There's no way that Camby will be coming off the bench.

Either way, look for this team to break all sorts of records for points conceded per game.

2.5 million is a bargain for his abilities.

Clips got some players who can score, but they're going to be giving up a lot of points on the other end.  I can't see this team making it to the playoffs, not in the West, but they should be plenty fun to watch.
