Sterling v Dunleavy

[Reality]

I'm not sure I believe Dunleavy.  'Course the alternative is to believe Sterling.   Botching the '05 playoffs vs Phx might have been Dunleavys only chance gone bye.
I'd like to know exactly who vetod the AL Iverson for Shaun Livingston trade.
Along with Brent Barrdog for Corey MeGetty.

Dunleavy told the Los Angeles Times the Clippers' fortunes would be different "as long as basketball people around here make the basketball decisions," arguing that a couple of player deals he had proposed during the summer were negated by the front office -- deals, he says, that could have helped the team.

Well Dunleavy isn't necessarily the best judge of talent, and how mixing talent will impact a roster. 

It was Dunleavy who wanted the Blazers to bring in an old Rod Strickland when the team was rolling, to take PG minutes away from Damon and Anthony.  That one worked like a charm, I think we were like 3-14 with Strickland on the roster.

It was Dunleavy who pushed to take on Shawn Kemp to replace Brian Grant.  The brilliant decision to add the "coked up tub o goo" also worked like a charm.  That was SPAM (spending Paul Allen's money) at it's worst.  $50 million for a two year supply of the real spam.

It was also Dunleavy who chose to not play Jermaine O'Neal, forcing the Blazers to trade him for Dale "The Dud" Davis.  I think I am sensing a trend here.

Dunleavy is not a "brilliant" basketball mind, and he certainly wouldn't get a job with Guinness.

Wha-HUH!?!?!

You mean DONALD STERLING made a *FINANCIAL* decision, despite the protests of his *BASKETBALL* people???

Shocked.  That's what I am.

Only guys with dunce caps on believed that was a real trade.

I think you are the one that needs to get a clue wk.  Everyone knows that was a real trade, so was Tim Duncan for Kaman, KG for Mikkie Moore and Steve Nash/Marion for Cassell/Magette.  While for you and me hindsight is 20/20, I think Reality did go on record last year as saying those trades would hlep the Clippers.
