15th SPOT ON ROSTER TAKEN BY KAREEM RUSH

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/10/nba-clippers-kareen-rush.html

And the last Clippers' roster spot goes to ... Kareem Rush.

Rush, who came to camp as a free agent, said on Tuesday before the exhibition against Maccabi Tel Aviv that Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy told him he would be sticking around.

The Clippers have been deciding whether to carry 14 or 15 players on the roster.

"I've put myself in position to make this team," Rush said. "I think I've done a great job of establishing myself and showing what I'm capable of doing. It's up to the front office.

"Coach [Dunleavy] told me I was going to start the season with the team. I'm happy with what I've done this preseason and hope I can continue to play well and be a guy who can contribute."

The Clippers like the depth Rush gives them on the perimeter and his ability to hit the open shot.

"It's just what I do. I've been a shooter all my career," he said. "My job is to come down here and knock down open shots. It's my job to take 'em and make 'em. I've been shooting the ball pretty well. All due to the hard work I've been putting in this summer."

man losin to the Grizz? come on rofl

Yeah they were on a roll, there record is now 6-1 which is among the best right now

Your doing pretty well with Sebastian Telfair. Nice job with Gordon.

Telfairs been a great backup, Gordon was the only one doing anything on offence for a while, i cant get his 3's to drop though, frustrating

g/l vs the Hornets.

thanks

Some Quick Trades Being Made In The Last Week

<=>

- The Pacers have traded Troy Murphy to Golden State for Corey Maggette

<=>

- The Pacers have acquired sharpshooter Jason Terry from the Mavs in exchange for T.J Ford.

Memphis Grizzlies have signed Brevin Knight.

There is a rumor around L.A that the Clippers are very close to finalizing a deal that will send Brian Skinner to Pheonix.

jason terry+corey maggette+Danny granger

:jizz:

 

[mike3]

jason terry+corey maggette+Danny granger

:jizz:

Yeh there teams going to be pretty impressive

 

[mfbmike]

Indiana getting better!

Who's going to run point for them though? Earl Watson? :jonesy:

Danny Granger should see more time at the 4.

 

[SuperNova854]

Ok mike, this is what you do. Change Terry to PG. Rush starts at the 2. Corey at 3. Then change Granger to a PF. Or leave Granger at SF, and put Corey at SG

 

[mike3]

Yeh maybe theyll move Terry to point, if so this teams going to be pretty hard to beat. Especially if they still have Hibbert at Center. thats going to be a nice lineup

CLIPPERS SIGN LOUIS AMUNDSON IN TRADE WITH PHEONIX

The Los Angeles Clippers have made there first trade of the season to bring a bit if hustle and more defense into there lineup. Louis Admundson is a fantastic hustle player for his side, Admundson wont be getting a great deal of minutes like a starter will but he will be used mainly to stop post players and to do the little things like rebounding. Admundson will bring to the Clippers court:
- Hustle
- Energy
- Rebounds
- Defense

And this is exactly what the Clippers have been lacking, especially the Hustle and Defence which showed up majorly against Memphis.


Overview of Trade

<=>

​

​

 

[LC AAU]

Basically getting a younger Skinner with more hustle and can score a lil more on offense.

 

[James2Stapleton]

amundson can slam it down pretty good aswell

 

[mike3]

Basically getting a younger Skinner with more hustle and can score a lil more on offense.

Yeh i like how hes an all hustle type of player and figured if i could get him, then i should go for it. Skinner probably wasn't going to get minutes anyway

James2Stapleton yeh i like that about him aswell
