    As another poster stated, no way the Clippers let Thornton or Gordon go. Gordon nearly beat out Rose for Rookie of the Year, he is their future star.

    Kaman is possible, but he's overpaid. Camby would be a good addition if we don't have to give up Hill to get him. I'd part with Roger Mason at this point for him. His Playoff performance was very "Hedo-esque."
    You seem to be forgetting the reason that Gordon is playing so well is because the Clippers have an injury riddled team. The reason Gordon was able to become a starter in his rookie year was because of Ricky Davis' injury. , if Pop decided to play George Hill as a starter with the same amount of minutes gordon has, I'm sure George Hill will be able to produce as well. But even attempting to explain this, there is no possible way that the clippers will let go eric gordon, he's their next cuttino mobley; almost like the same exact player but stronger. I think who the spurs should REALLY set their eyes on is Steve Novak, he's the true shooter stud the spurs need.

    IMO Thorton is overrated, he's the typicall ballhog that isn't very efficient, he averages 16.8 pts in 14.8 fg attemps, not good at all. Gordon does look promising though.
    Thornton is not overrated, this guy is actually underrated and a very prolific scorer. The reason he's averaging 16.8 points in 14.8 fg attempts was because of the injuries that occured this whole season. At one point, with zach randolph, baron davis, kaman, and camby out, the two best scorers were gordon and thornton, which the clippers turned to thornton as the go-to guy. So even though those statistics are his average, there's a reason behind it. On top of that, thornton can create his own shot - something that the spurs desperately needed this post-season because bonner, bowen, udoka, all those guys can't. I would LOVE to have thornton on the spurs to give us that extra offensive kick.
