Jazz acquire DeMarre Carroll from Denver

I think your logic is based upon the 100 years of sucky Clippers history. Previously, they didn't give a damn about winning.

I think you're in error. This is not your typical Clippers. Your typical Clippers would not have gone out and signed Billips, Mo Williams, and surrounded their high draft picks with good players. Not would they have made the CP3 trade.

They would have used Blake for all he was worth, sold a few tickets and jerseys, and once his rookie deal was up, let him leave (and be right back into the lottery drafting another top guy).

Someway and somehow the whole Clippers' train of thought has been changed. I'm pretty sure their management is actually trying to win now. I think they see an opportunity with Kobe and the Lakers in decline and with the young core they have, to really put a dent into the Lakers' flagship and permanently convert their cheap *** bandwagon fans.

Right now in LAX you have stories selling BOTH Clippers and lakers jerseys. This never happened before.

I don't think the Clippers want to flush that away with a few stupid trades (like giving something of value for Raja Bell).

The question is not who we think we need, but who KOC thinks we need based on the future he sees.
And the only answer to that is getting Burks more minutes.
And the only answer to that is a wing being traded. I have a feeling Howard or Bell might be out.
I can't see them trading Harris unless a wing is also being packed with Harris.
 
This doesn't add up as a signing for the traditional, straightforward reasons. But what do I know? About as much as everyone else; nothing.

But I hope something is in the works. There is no way any of the six guys I care about are on the chopping block, and if they are, the Jazz have to be looking to get something really nice.

Either way, this is a no-risk move.

Sorry if this has been talked about, but what was he doing before the jazz signed him? Was he in the D-league, or what?

He last played for the Nuggets on Feb 2 (only his 4th game of the season for 19 minutes). Denver waived him on Feb 4, and it looks like the Jazz must have grabbed him just about as quickly as he cleared waivers.

I guess it could just be adding depth for the upcoming stretch of the season, but that doesn't seem quite right, given that Evans, Burks and Tinsley are already on the roster and not playing much.
 
I don't get this signing at all, unless like has been mentioned something is in the works. At the very least I guess it's a no risk, somewhat reward signing.
 
I wonder if KOC is mad that Burks isn't playing and is going to force Ty to play him by trading one of the wings, and then having Carroll take Burks spot on the bench. This is my hope. Trading CJ or Howard packaged with Harris or Al for something idk what to help this team. That is where I just hope KOC works some magic.
