Early Sunday intrigue.
Draft Express link
Luke Jackson has been called up by the Los Angeles Clippers for a 10-day contract.
Also: they declined to sign their 2nd round draft pick Guillermo Diaz after he declined to rejoin his Czech team after Xmas.
Don't know what any of this means.

They're probably checking to see if they can get a Brent Barry type without parting with Maggette.
Jackson has been shooting lights out in the D-League. He didn't miss a shot against the Toros (White didn't guard him, in case you were wondering). Might still be a little slow for the NBA though. Looks healthy enough, doesn't seem to be bothered by his back or knee.
Possibly, but that doesn't jibe with Maggette being held out from the Atlanta game. Apparently he wasn't even on the bench in street clothes. Some are marking Maggette as already traded.
Could it be Barry+Udrih+(?) for Maggette+Guillermo Diaz?
I'm guessing they just called him up to have another body since Maggette, Mobley and Cassell are all out.
That's interesting.
Really?
Link?

LinkYou may have noticed that I didn't post a preview about this game. That's because, as I was looking at the Hawks, I realized that there was simply no way the Clippers should lose to them. Losers of 8 in a row and 12 of 13, with no discernible home court advantage (the Hawks did not win in Atlanta in the month of December), this is simply not a good team. So of course, I figured if I wrote a preview saying all that, the Clippers would definitely lose the game. By not writing the preview, I could avoid jinxing the team. It didn't work though.
19 turnovers. 40% shooting. Livingston 2-11. Mobley 1-6. Kaman 6 turnovers. Brand 6 turnovers. The Clippers played this game as if they were completely distracted. As if they had other things on their mind. As if they had lost a close friend.
And perhaps they had. Not in uniform tonight, and not in the building that I could tell, was one Corey Maggette. Corey suffered a minor ankle injury in Orlando, but played against Miami and Washington, and is listed on the Clippers web site as healthy. The only mention of Corey during the game was when Ralph said simply that he was on the inactive list prior to the tip. No reason given. No explanation. No shots of Corey on the bench. If Corey had turned an ankle in the shootaround, or cut himself shaving, or whatever, Ralph and Mike would have told us about it. The fact that they said nothing spoke volumes.
Let me clear about this. I have no inside information. I don't know anything. But I think a deal is imminent.
For what it's worth.
Well a 2 for 1 trade now makes no sense.
I read on another board (ESPN) that he wasn't on the bench too. The game recaps say he was inactive because of a sore left foot.
Nice find.
Clippers acutally do need to make a move pretty fast. They are last in their division and I'm not sure if they can wait another month to add a shooter to their team. It's a distraction to have a player on your team who knows they are a lame duck.
For the Clippers to make the playoffs, they need to add shooters ASAP. Hopefully it's Barry and Beno for Maggette.
We needed shooting (2004), now we don't (2007) Interesting
oh gosh no, the Spurs will be crazy with Maggette
Shooting - you know in basketball you throw a ball (the round thing) into a hole hanging above you.
Good point. Luke Jackson is their 15th player.
Barry + Beno or Bonner for Maggette + Ewing still works.
However, if you are preparing to add Barry and Beno/Bonner to your team, would you go out and sign Luke Jackson to a ten-day contract?
Doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah I get it smart ass, but what makes you say that we don't need it in 2007??Shooting - you know in basketball you throw a ball (the round thing) into a hole hanging above you.
Trade with the Clippers?

(Brand, Cassell, Davis, Ewing)
How healthy are the other guards?
Can't hurt to try out a former lotto pick who is 7-12 from the arc and 27-51 overall in six games, I guess.
A trade might not be imminent, but close enough to put Maggette on ice for a week or so to get fully healed.

Cool, we are getting their whole team
Hehe - Kori calm down
I have no bad intentions, all I say is that we need someone who will hit the outside shots. That's it.
2004 - lakers, hedo, parker closed
Well they aren't trading all their shooters.Hehe - Kori calm down

Actually, a throw in I'd actually like is James Singleton. He's a 6-foot-8, 230 pound small forward who can jump out of the gym. He can rebound and defend. Doesn't have much of a jumper but he's a hustle guy who can fly.
Barry and Beno for Maggette and Singleton would be the trade of the decade. The Spurs would go from an aging team to a highly athletic team in one trade.
And if you want to pull out your tin hats, Singleton didn't play against the Hawks despite playing in 5 of their last 6 games. And that was with Maggette and Cassell out of the lineup.
Interesting.
