re: So are the Clippers retarded or just don't have enough/right assets for us?

A bad return is worse than no return, especially if it means strengthening a Western Conference competitor.

I’m at the point to where I would rather risk sitting on AD for the season than send him to the Lake Show UNLESS they pay a backbreaking price.

And the reason I think it works is that LeBron and their other issues will ramp up pressure to where they desperately make a deal, sign someone else, or move LeBron, all of which improve our options either for a Davis trade or for playoff positioning.
