What Clippers Fans Have To Say About the Baron Talk

by Baked Biedrins on Dec 30, 2008 3:31 PM PST Comment 54 comments

Hey everyone, I posted this fanpost over at Clips Nation, because it seems that us Warriors fans would be thrilled to get Baron back, but I was curious to see what Clippers fans had to say about it.

Here's the link to the post.

It was pretty interesting to see their opinions, but it seems that in any trade (either between two or three franchises) they would want at least an All-Star back in exchange for trading the Big Bad Beard, which is understandable.

There was also an interesting counter-trade in the comments, which involved sending Anthony Randolph, Marco Belinelli, and Corey Maggette away to get Baron and...Paul Davis haha.

Anyway, just an interesting read from another bad team's point of view.

This FanPost is a submission from a member of the mighty Golden State of Mind community. While we're all here to throw up that W, these words do not necessarily reflect the views of the GSoM Crew. Still, chances are the preceding post is Unstoppable Baby!

Maggette and Belinelli plus some contract filler for Baron seems to make sense. Randolph AND Belinelli just to re-swap Maggette for Baron seems a little steep.

Yeah for sure.

Monta! Montaye! Montae!

i wanna do

maggs + watson + williams for baron

think theyd go for it?

by DeepS on Dec 30, 2008 3:50 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

would you if you were a clipper fan?

No way. Belinelli, Williams, and Maggs for Baron makes some sense for both clubs though.

by sam23 on Dec 30, 2008 9:47 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

why...

would you give up belinelli

by GSW Fan on Jan 2, 2009 12:01 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Watson...

Why would we give up watson when his playing the best basketball on are team

by GSW Fan on Jan 2, 2009 12:00 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

the hell

The Clippers are in far worse shape than we are. Why should we be giving up more to get Baron back?

Hell no should we be giving up Randolph or Belinelli, or any of our young talent. The contract that Baron comes with is just plain uglier than Maggette’s, when you factor in Baron’s old man knees.

by YaHeard on Dec 30, 2008 4:27 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

they arent going to simply swap Baron for Maggette, for the same reasons you wouldnt have wanted the warriors to make that move last year. Baron>Maggette. You’d have to throw in at least one young piece and seeing as how the return of Monta and Baron would squeeze Beli completely out of the rotation I’m fine with giving him up to get it done.

by sam23 on Dec 30, 2008 9:49 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah but Sterling does value Maggette for some reason...

Maybe they’ll take it. We did get Harrington and Jackson for Dunleavy & Murphy

by Mr. Monday Night on Dec 31, 2008 4:45 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

nooooo

way would i give up AR, belinelli, and maggs for BD and freaking paul davis. i love you baron, but i would not do that exchange in a million years…

also...

why would we give them up for barons big contract, and baron is getting older and his contract has 5 years on it so we would potentially have him till he is 34

by GSW Fan on Jan 2, 2009 12:05 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Is there

an realestic chance that we could get Baron back?

by GSW9 on Dec 30, 2008 5:41 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

no

and no

by highflya on Dec 30, 2008 5:53 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I disagree

I think theres SOME chance. Not a great one, but certainly some chance.

they'll want more

It doesn’t matter the Warriors would never do anything to get Baron back, his contract would cripple them.

by T-Money on Dec 30, 2008 7:40 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

unlike Maggette’s which theyd be giving up which is so not crippling.

by sam23 on Dec 30, 2008 9:50 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

sounds good to me

except I want to give Maggette a chance to play here a little longer to show us if he is good for the team, meaning if he can stop being a ball hog most of the time and pass the ball and become part of the team instead of playing one on one.

by Ali luvs monta on Dec 31, 2008 1:36 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

or give him a little while longer to sit at the end of the bench and see his extensive wardrobe

the stop calling him "beans" movement

by pervisNeverNervous on Dec 31, 2008 10:27 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

no to AR

how would they feel bout

jamal+maggs+williams+ronnie

by gswfan1 on Dec 30, 2008 6:09 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

why would we trade ronnie?

we need ronnie, he is one of our best defenders that we desperately need!

Trade Marco

now that he is doing good for this team? you realize he is the point guard right now

I will always be your fan JRich. Good Luck

by chili01 on Dec 30, 2008 8:06 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

you realize Baron>>>>>Marco? This is the problem….everyone wants us to play guys to beef up their trade value, then they put up some decent stats and everyone assumes they are a star in the making and doesnt want to trade them for anything. Trade Belinelli while his value is on the uptick.

by sam23 on Dec 30, 2008 9:52 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

This year is Marco>>>Baron just look at the stats

All this damn baron talk. Leave him alone. We really need to move on. Im not will to part with our youth for baron. Dont get me wrong. I loved it when baron was here, but need to move on.

by Butt Secks on Dec 31, 2008 10:18 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

ummmm no

Beli is shooting a higher percentage thus far (Baron is shooting a career low FG%) but Baron’s production here was never based on his shooting a high percentage. Baron has a fairly substantial edge in points, 3’s, blocks, steals, rebounds and a massive advantage in assists. So when you say “just look at the stats” I dont exactly know what you mean. Also Baron is having a very poor half year and doesnt appear to fit the Clips system nearly as well as he fit here, having watched Baron a few times this year I dont see anything that makes me believe he couldnt fit right back in. I’d prefer him over Maggette more than enough to give up Belinelli who seems to have convinced the majority of our fan base he is the PG of the future based solely on 10 decent games.

For future reference, maybe YOU should look at the stats before saying “just look at the stats.”

by sam23 on Dec 31, 2008 11:38 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

alright

we should just face the truth now, theres no need in arguing if marco is better than baron or vice versa, because a trade for baron will never happen.

by gorillas on Dec 31, 2008 2:37 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Ummmm YES Who is killing his team Marco or Baron?

Just go to the Clips nation and you will have the answer. And yes YOU should look at the stats.

by gswfan13 on Dec 31, 2008 2:23 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

They get one of their old starters and one of our starters, in Brandon. Plus, they get a decent backup point guard.

CJ

That dude is raw, why would we trade him

by GSW Fan on Jan 2, 2009 12:10 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

uhh

naw. lol the clippers would never go for it, and we dont have room for another swingman,

we akeady got monta, jack, bukie, marco, jamal, maggs,

honestly we need to get rid of jamal, and i tihnk we keep mags til we get a real big man, or until randolph develpops into a good player

by gswfan1 on Dec 30, 2008 10:35 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

id rather

have wright play the 4 rather than mags…maggs is a big NONO…he might be able to play the 3, but we got jax for that…and nellie never sidelines jax

by DeepS on Dec 31, 2008 12:26 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

thats why im sticking with the proposed trade that brings wallace and davis in…we ship out crawford (who i really like by the way) and get back a SF/PF who is ideal for nellie and this system…he fits the mold of Jax only more athletic and a better defender…we have plenty of guards, need to get more big, athletic 4’s and 5’s, and of coarse, the baron

i’m not gonna stop replying with this until you start using it. it’s annoying to read something when it’s supposed to be a reply to something like six posts ago.

You can bring a 40 and smoke a cigarette and call me from the parking lot asking me what time the game is, and I'll tell you. You can even say 'F--- you, Steve!' Actually, don't say that, that wouldn't be very nice." -Steve Friend, Head Coach, Chabot College Gladiators Baseball

uhh

thats be cool, cept hes actually a 3, but sos maggs,

but really hes got 5 years left on his contract

well maggs does too..but we dont want a 4 with that much contract left, cause of anthony randolpg and brandan, and gerald wallace doesnt like to play the 4. so if he starts permanantly i can see him slowly getting angry and maby requesting a trade.
