Should Ballmer blow up the team? My gut says yes. They had their chance for five or six years. Another first round exit doesn't cut it. At the least the g.m., Rivers, and pretty boy Paul need to be heavily scrutinized.

I don't really follow the NBA much though. What say the NBA junkies?

    He'll live in the 45-50 win range for a while ... never being good enough to win but just good enough to not suck.

    Sounds like Windows Vista.

    They should, but even though I think Paul is loser, your team is worse when he's gone.

    I'm way in the minority on this, but I don't think Paul's a loser. I think he's been surrounded by losers his entire career. If David Stern didn't block the trade to the Lakers we'd view him completely differently.

    The Clips should blow it up and Paul should go somewhere with a real star he can play alongside, not somebody who just makes pretty dunks.

    Paul is a loser but "blowing up" the Clippers is going to mean instead of losing in the first round you don't make the playoffs.

    Not sure why this is always the alleged answer. Paul has had plenty of good team mates and he still sucks and he still threw away the best chance for the Finals all by himself with the Clips

    And the NO team was a GOOD basketball team as well

    Ballmer should see if Paul wants to play on his son's AAU team and then Paul shoud transfer to Lakeside to make them randomly good at basketball for a year.

    Phil Jackson needs to move Carmello to the Lakers. In exchange the Knicks get the Lakers first round pick next year and Phil gets to rub Jeannie's fabulous ta-tas as frequently as he likes going forward.

    Then Chris Paul needs to jump across to the Laker purple and gold and then somehow convince Olynyk, Dedmon or Noel to come to LA and rebound/defend.

    Mostly I'd just like to see Phil get the ta-ta deal done. Well, mostly I'd like to see Jeannie ta-tas but I've got no trade bait myself.

    What part of #ripcity did you not understand?

    Being in the lottery is infinitely better than being in first round exit hell
