The latest from a series of teams trying to entice LeBron away from Cleveland. Who would have guessed the Clippers? This is an excerpt from Bill Simmons’ hilarious Almost Famous blog on ESPN.
“To the Clippers, who have qualified for “It’s all happening!” status a few times over the past few decades, only this time, it might stick. If you didn’t notice, they turned Zach Randolph into Blake Griffin and three quality bench guys (including Mark Madsen, the first towel-waving chemistry guy they’ve had since … since … since … I mean, have they ever had a towel-waving chemistry guy?). Now they have a killer under-22 foundation (Griffin and Eric Gordon, headed for a leap in Year 2), a fun team for this season (especially if Baron Davis and Marcus Camby are healthy) and a super-intriguing cap situation next summer (they’re under $35 million). This remains the best combination basketball/big city situation for LeBron James. It’s true.”
