Re: And why the Clippers

John:

Even if what you say is true, that doesn't mean that we should trade
either Walker, Mercer or Pierce for anyone.  Patience is a virtue.  And
we need to hold on.  If we could trade Anderson and someone else, then
maybe yes, but not one of these three.  And we need a 5.  The real deal,
not just someone with potential.  If we can't get the real deal, then we
are better off to wait for draft or free agency later.

But truthfully, who besides Shaq, Hakeem and Duncan are really worth
trading any of these three for.  Those are the only ones I would
consider and really not even for Hakeem as he is too old.  The fact is,
we can't trade for any of those three so to talk about trading one of
the 3 is not good basketball or other sense.

If these guys were that good and we needed them to become a championship
team, the Clippers would have won at least as many games as the Celtics
by now.
