... say, 1987. So that's about two decades of reprieves. Citizen Zhiv turns that over and says that Elgin should have quit every year since 1987. That's more apropos. But here's the point of what I was trying to say. Baylor took over the GM responsibilities (if not the title) in 1986. That season they won 12 games. The next season they won 17.

With Elgin Baylor now out as Clippers GM, there's been a lot of reflection on his work as an executive (not very good, though constrained by near impossible conditions for most of his tenure) and how even if the Clippers were smart to officially hand Mike Dunleavy the management job he's been doing unofficially for years, Donald Sterling and Co. completely botched his exit and dishonored his...
