There are a lot of things I thought wouldn't happen. They were basically impossible. I didn't think you'd be able to find a GM worse than Elgin Baylor. I didn't think anyone would trade for Zach Randolph. I didn't think...

Elton Brand enjoyed the L.A. lifestyle and the bright lights of Hollywood, fancying himself a would-be movie mogul. Brand also loved playing for the Clippers. He was the face of the long-suffering franchise and called his relationship with Coach Mike Dunleavy "as good as player and coach could be."

Elton Brand loved L.A., even playing for the Clippers. He was the face of the long-suffering franchise and called his relationship with coach Mike Dunleavy “as good as player and coach could be. That makes Dunleavy all the more perplexed how his split with Brand has turned out more like McCartney and Mills than Bruce and Demi.

As odd as it sounds, the much maligned Elgin Baylor might actually have been the guy who has been saving the Clippers these last few year. Ever since Mike Dunleavy Sr. essentially took over the personnel moves of the Clippers,...

The coach calls it 'a great talk,' and the point guard says, 'In large part, it's my frustration of wanting to get us off on a winning track and reality setting in.' Call it the Peace Treaty at Playa Vista.

by Tom Ziller Filed under: Clippers Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times dove into the bad start the Clippers have offered. As the columnist tells it, the problem's a struggle between improvisationist Baron Davis and choreographer Mike Dunleavy . Baron wants to make it up as he goes; Dunleavy wants to call every play. But this was a predictable problem, yes? The age-old spat between Dunleavy and...

by Marcel Mutoni When Baron Davis was in Oakland, he was the ring leader of a loose, at times wild hoops team. And his coach loved him for it. Don Nelson put the ball in Diddy’s hands, and more or less let him do his thing. It was madness, a sort of controlled chaos if you will, but it produced wins and a memorable Playoff trip in 2007.

Mike Dunleavy's rigid approach meets up with Baron Davis' rogue style - Los Angeles Times So, when Bill Plaschke writes a Clippers column two weeks into the season, is it a good thing or a bad thing? The inclusion of lines like "all that glitters is cold" would seem to indicate the latter, but that may just be my own preference for writing that doesn't suck. Conflicts between Baron Davis and Mike...

The Clippers' biggest issue is not with other teams, but between their two most high-profile employees, Davis and Dunleavy trying desperately to figure each other out. At stake is everything. The Clippers wanted Hollywood, they've got Hollywood.

Kevin Love, Still Booed in Portland: “You cheer for Damon Stoudamire, who ditched the state’s college teams for the University of Arizona. Brent Barry, who turned down a free-agent offer from the Blazers in the summer of 2004, still gets cheers. So does Mike Dunleavy Jr., whose father coaches a Western Conference rival. Love’s been [...]
