Fine then...the Lakers will offer their top draft pick last season in Hood-Schifino for my Ty. This guy is the next Magic Johnson in his passing abilities.Wammy Giveaway wrote:WentzerWuver wrote:I would hire Ty Lue!
Just take from the Clippers, they're just a farm franchise for every team to feast their hands on.
Seriously, just remember that Clippers may keep Lue not for long-term reasons, but for asset recuperation. Thanks to the precedent of Doc Rivers, coaches can now be traded, but only for draft picks and no players can be involved. To enforce this, a gag order will be placed. If Lakers trade picks for Lue, they are barred from signing, acquiring or trading for any Clipper player for the entire season.
Do you want Lue, or do you really want their superstars Leonard, George and/or Harden? You can't have both, but you can make one side of the franchise's coin be absolute weak. Taking a coach away forces the franchise to look for a replacement, leading them to retreat on a familiar face or promote an assistant coach, and they get a worse outcome. Taking their superstars away forces the franchise into a painful rebuild where the no. 1 picks will default to the Thunder, but having no. 2s from other teams may not be so bad... or good, see Sam Bowie for an example of a draft bust. And the Clippers have a history of busts and bungled picks. I call them the Cy Schneider* Clippers for a reason, clinging too much to the past.
* History lesson: Cy Schneider was president of the cable television network Nickelodeon from 1980 to 1984. Under his leadership the network failed for three reasons: failure of management, in marketing, and in looking towards the future. Until Geraldine Laybourne took over in 1984, the network was a loss leader and could have been shut down. Clippers are exactly like that, but more.
