Radmanovic traded to Clippers for Wilcox

[JamStone]

He turned down a five year/$42M deal plus incentives this summer.

He wants to get paid.

He's had a pretty subpar season so far.

Reality will hit.

That's amazing. I didn't realize he was considered to be that good.

That's amazing. I didn't realize he was considered to be that good.

The Sonics were trying to build a core and he was part of that. He scoffed at the offer. He said at first that he was looking for upwards of $60M. No one offered him anything in free agency (he was restricted), so he stayed in Seattle for the one-year qualifying offer (~$3M).

Then when Bob Weiss was coaching, he wasn't playing much so he demanded a trade within 3 weeks if he wasn't getting more than 20 minutes per game

Anyway, after Bob Hill took over, he put him in the starting lineup at the PF spot.

Now Reggie Evans, Danny Fortson and Vitaly Potapenko asked for trades. They are also trying to get rid of Flip Murray.

The spurs should have tried to get Wilcox. Wilcox and Rebraca(to match contracts) for Rasho. Rebraca has 2 more years on his contract while Rasho has 3.

Anyone else make this move?

Obviously, ElPimpo is his agent.

Rasho > Wilcox, easily.

Kori, "over time" just means over the rest of this year. That's all you can look at in this deal -- the Clippers weren't going to keep Wilcox anyway.

[timvp]

It sounds like the Clippers wanted a three-point threat. Radman, for all his faults, can hit'em from downtown.

It'll be interesting to see how much time he gets.

Cool. If over time means this season, then he'll probably help because he can knock down 3's for them. I wish the Clippers would win their division instead of the Suns.

[T Park]

if the Clippers won the division.

Wouldn't that like, tear a whole in the space time somethin er other.

Like using an easy button to find an easy button.


Cats and dogs, living together......

I like the trade. Wilcox was getting no time on the Clippers and it's obvious they have no space for him when they have two young frontcourt studs in Brand and Kamen. I'm no Radmanovic fan, but he brings more to the table for the Clippers than Wilcox does. Conversely, there's nowhere for Radman in Seattle when they already have two incredible three-point shooters in Lewis and Allen, and Wilcox will have a chance to live up to his potential there. Neither player was being used by his previous team, but each fits in pretty well with his new team. I think it's a win-win, although I like this trade more for Seattle.

That's how I read it, too.

Wilcox wasn't getting much PT, and the Clips are thinking about making their best shot at the playoffs now. Can't say I blame them.

They're in trouble, though, if either Brand or Kaman has foul problems or minor injuries. I don't see the Clippers having anyone other than those two (and the always-iffy Rebraca) to defend in the paint and rebound. I guess they're going to up the pace and try to score their way in. It's worked before.

[leemajors]

doesn't collison get most of the minutes at the 4?
