Just read the Clipper game recap over on ESPN.  Check out this quote from Elton Brand:

"I hope they make it," Brand said of the Warriors. "I've got a lot of friends over there, so I'm rooting for them. I wasn't rooting for them tonight. I was trying to get a win, but now our game is done with, and I hope they make it."
Hmm.  A lot of friends over there?  Maybe getting this guy isn't such a pipe dream after all?  Somebody with smarts tell me how we could get him.  Would he have to opt out, can the Clippers match any offers, would we have to sign and trade, would we have cap room if we also expected to sign Baron, Beans and Monta?  Could Brand be the missing piece to this team?
