MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
Forward Corey Maggette -- With the near season-long absence of forward Elton Brand, Maggette became the Clippers' primary offensive scoring source. He responded by posting 52 20-point scoring performances in the 70 games that he played.

MOST DISAPPOINTING PLAYER
Forward Tim Thomas -- It was hoped that Thomas could have stepped in for the injured Brand and provide the Clippers with a stable presence at power forward. However, after beginning the season shooting over 50 percent from the field, Thomas' performance took a nose dive.

FREE AGENT FOCUS
Unrestricted free agents: F/G Quinton Ross, G Smush Parker and G Dan Dickau. Out of that trio, the defensive-minded Ross still figures in the Clippers' plans. Dickau was a stop-gap, due to the season-long unavailability of Shaun Livingston. Parker was a late-season pickup who did nothing to pique interest into bringing him back next season.

Restricted free agents: G Shaun Livingston, F/C Paul Davis, F Nick Fazekas, G/F Marcus Williams. In all likelihood, the Clippers will tender a contract offer to Livingston, to retain his rights. There is a strong possibility that they will do likewise with Davis. Livingston missed the entire season, recovering from a left knee injury. Davis suffered a season-ending right knee injury in December. Fazekas likely will receive a non-guaranteed contract offer, after his impressive play down the stretch of the season. Williams might get an invitation to join the summer-league team.

PLAYER NOTES

--F Elton Brand plans to be in the best shape of his career next season, as he looks ahead to a stern summer training program. Brand is a member of the USA national basketball team but will skip the Summer Olympics in China to focus on preparing for the 2008-2009 season.

--F Corey Maggette has not changed his mind about opting out of the final year of his contract this summer. However, Maggette more than left the door open for the Clippers to negotiate a long-term contract extension with him. It is likely that the Clippers will explore sign-and-trade possibilities involving Maggette.

--G Cuttino Mobley will be back for his fourth season with the Clippers, unless they can package him in a trade. The stumbling block is the two years that Mobley still has remaining on his contract at more than $18 million.

Maggette and Brand

We have to keep these guys no matter what the cost.  They are the heart and soul of the franchise and without them, you may be looking at the worst NBA team ever next year.

sman1965
 I can see that sman1965 bothers almost every team on their message board. While trash talking is fun, just seeing this guys posts makes me fell like I am back in the 3rd grade.

Maybe he will start to talk smart sports conversation or maybe he will jus ...(more)
