December 15, 201114 yr He'll play quite a bit IMO. I see them playing Billups and Paul together a lot. He'll be the next in line IMO. Any chance they cut ties with Mo? Do you think Bledsoe will play mostly at the point or at SG?
December 15, 201114 yr Author I don't see why Chauncey would want to leave. Playing with Blake, Caron, and CP3 is going to extend his career, and make him a deadly offensive weapon IMO. I would think he would want to be the starter. Maybe he will be OK with it. I don't see anyway they keep Mo on the team. It wouldn't really make sense. Billups is getting pretty old I don't see him as that big of an asset anymore. This the the Clippers we are talking about so I fully expect Pauls knee to shatter in the 2nd game of the year. :lol: I'm kidding I hope that doesn't happen.
December 15, 201114 yr Author ^Billups will be a starter....:confused: Yeah, I'm not sure who I was thinking about starting over him. :lol:
December 15, 201114 yr PG - CP3 SG - Chauncey SF - Butler PF - Griffin C - Jordan That's a really good, super athletic starting 5...Just saw that for the first time in franchise history, there is a season ticket waiting list for the Clip. They're really in it to win it right now. I love it!
December 15, 201114 yr The players aren't better currently but Gordon is young and that is going to be a top 5 pick and that is huge in this draft. Especially considering the Hornets are likely to have a high lottery of their own. I couldn't imagine the team in a couple of years if they could put a combo of Andre Drummond, Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, MKG, Perry Jones III, Sullinger, Q Miller, Rivers, etc. and pair them with Eric Gordon. Especially if guys like Aminu develop and pan out, and guys like Ariza and Okafor are still around.

I don't think they will have an extremely high pick.
December 15, 201114 yr That team will contend for the last playoff spot I don't think they will have an extremely high pick. You think they will after losing West and Paul? All they really have left is Ariza and Okafor (who's not giving you anything on the offensive end) and now I guess you can add Kaman and Gordon. Don't see Aminu being a factor, they lost Thornton to the Kings last year for Landry. I could easily see them missing the playoffs this year. Even if they do make it, the 15-18th picks in this years draft will be like picking in the top 10 of a normal draft.

Gordon will do his thing and Ariza is OK. Jarrett Jack is OK too. I think that will be good enough to keep them in the hunt.

Yeah the Caveman is pretty solid I have always liked him but not sure if he still has enough left in the tank to make the difference he once did. Especially on a team void of outside talent.

Especially on a team void of outside talent. He averaged 18 and 9 on the Clippers in 2010, I think he could duplicate those numbers on the Hornets.
