Why is Reggie Evans being mentioned on this thread. What possible reason could the clippers have to but him out?

I just can't see any way he gets bought out.  He's in there rotation and they will be in the playoffs...

Due to KG being an amazing defensive player I'd rather JJJ got the start, any deficiencies he has would be lessened by playing with kg and starters. 
I wouldn't start JJJ. He needs to be protected matchup wise.

Doc needs to give JJJ as much playing time as possible against limited backup big men and avoid pitting him against talented starters (as much as possible). He needs to protect JJJ from those matchups where he is ill-equipped to compete.

I'd rather go small with Pietrus in the starting lineup and Pierce at PF than start JJJ should Bass be unavailable. Still put yourself in a vulnerable position defensively but at least you bring a lot more offense and jump-shooting onto the floor and create some matchup issues the other way.

I'm not sure why the C's are not being inked with JJ Hickson... I for one will be holding out hope on that one until I see an official signing. He may be flawed but he can rebound and score enough to help the bench, or start in a pinch. 13+ pts & 8.7 boards a game last year in 28 mins a game, he may not be a great defender, but neither was Bass when he showed up.
