The answer to this question, before you ask it another ten times, is
NO. Just for a moment, try to think from the perspective of someone on
the Clippers side of this. Would you trade two young prospects, one of
whom you've just drafted, for an expensive over-the-hill point guard
with one year left on his contract? What does that get them? One year
of Kenny Anderson; if they wanted more years, they can just wait until
the offseason when he's a free agent.

I'm sorry, but all of these trades based on the idea that the Clippers will
be monumental idiots (which is arguable) and furthermore idiots that
want to take on expensive, mediocre players while giving up cheap
young talent (which is completely implausible), are a waste of time.
