![]() Billionaire entertainment mogul David Geffen has been trying for years to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers, and despite his best efforts and promises to raise the franchise to greatness, current owner and selective renter Donald Sterling will not sell. Sterling, widely regarded as one of the worst owners in professional sports history, has recently shed his cheapskate image to little success, but Geffen is promising Clippers fans and Sterling the ultimate prize – LeBron James. ![]() Would LeBron James be willing to play for the Los Angeles Clippers if Donald Sterling no longer owned the team? Billionaire entertainment mogul David Geffen wants to find out. A source close to the situation confirmed a New York Post report that Geffen is interested in purchasing a majority share of the Clippers -- and that the long-shot attempt to convince Sterling to cede operating control of the team is among the reasons James and close friend Maverick Carter were in Los Angeles over the weekend. ![]() The Clippers are considering holding off on hiring a coach until after July 1 to offer a superstar free agent a voice in the process, part of a recruiting pitch to lure him to Los Angeles, NBA.com has learned. The team is known to be preparing a bid for LeBron James, among others. The Clippers are declining comment on the search for a replacement for Mike Dunleavy, who resigned Feb. 4 to focus solely on front-office duties and then was fired as GM. The team decided not to offer the coaching job to Kim Hughes, who took over for Dunleavy and coached the Clippers through the rest of the season.
Ken BergerThe first name that came to mind after the Clippers' rude and unceremonious news release came out Tuesday night announcing Mike Dunleavy's firing was none other than Jerry West. The Logo had been long rumored to be a candidate to take over the Clippers' woebegone basketball operations if -- and, as it turned out, when -- they finally "severed ties" with Dunleavy. From West himself Tuesday night: Not gonna happen. ![]() What to do with Marcus Camby? The Clippers have maintained internally that Camby's $9,150,000 million expiring contract is the most attractive expiring contract in the league because the 35-year-old is still so effective and because so many contending teams -- such as Dallas, San Antonio, Denver and Portland -- have either chased him hard in the past or want another big man for the postseason. ![]() Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy declined to confirm Saturday a recent report that said various NBA teams have made trade offers for starting forward Marcus Camby. ![]() Ramona Shelburne The Clippers rumored interest in Milwaukee restricted free agent Ramon Sessions is real. The urgency of signing the former D-Leaguer has dimmed a bit after last weeks' trade for Sebastian Telfair. The New York Post is reporting that the Clippers have talked
to Isiah Thomas about a job in their organization. It is also noted that Thomas
will be in LA a lot next season because his daughter will be going to
university in that city.
Today the LA Clippers have waived goodbye to Jason Hart. Hart has only played in 28 games so far this season and it is noted that he was only obtained last July. |
