(REY-REY’S NOTE: We’d like to welcome Brandon Tomyoy to the blog as one of our part-time writers. Brandon’s quick wit and unending passion for the Clippers is a perfect fit for TNLP. Look for him to make posts once in a while in this joint.) I’ve been spending some vacation time at home in Los [...]

Ras-matazz!
Rasual ready to celebrate in a Clippers uni. GM Mike Dunleavy is at it again. A year after acquiring Marcus Camby for a bag of Funyuns(option to swap 2nd round picks), his latest deal has landed Rasual Butler AND cash for a conditional 2nd round pick in 2016 – a pick the Hornets will likely [...]
2009 Offseason Whirlwind (Part 4)
In case you’re wondering, yeah, the Starbury show is still going on. And, no, I’m not going to talk about Lamar Odom until he actually signs. All right. So a couple of big moves happened over the past week or so. ***ANDRE MILLER TO PORTLAND*** Why do I NOT like this move? He seems like [...]
Trading Places: Grading the Deal.C

2009 Offseason Whirlwind Continued
All right. The whirlwind offseason continues. These are just verbal deals and they can’t officially sign until July 8. People might still pull a Carlos Boozer. Anyway… ***Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva to Detroit*** The signing of Ben Gordon, I think, effectively ends Richard Hamilton’s stint as a Piston. I don’t know what to make [...]
2009 Offseason Whirlwind
Man, this week had been filled with some HUGE trades. Let’s talk about ‘em. For my thoughts on Richard Jefferson going to San Antonio, check out this entry. SHAQUILLE O’NEAL TO CLEVELAND and SASHA PAVLOVIC AND BEN WALLACE TO PHOENIX Okay, so this may possibly be the biggest trade of the offseason… and the people [...]
Spurs Reloaded
Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, and Kurt Thomas are going to Milwaukee. Who gets to go to San Antonio? RICHARD JEFFERSON. This is all according to Chad Ford from ESPN. I almost forgot that Jefferson was a Buck as I had associated him with Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and the rest of the New Jersey Nets. [...]
