Some of our topic titles are getting confusing (3:00 pm tomorrow was written yesterday) and the premature matching (the article was about the qualifying offer) are going to drive people crazy. Granted, the distance isn't far, but still... :cool:

As far as I can tell, the Clippers really did schedule a press conference and then delayed it. There are several posibilities but it suggests that there is a major deal in the works. A simple matching would not require this much messing around.

The most logical conclusion would be that there is a possible trade of Kittles to the Clippers. It would appear that the Clippers COULD re-sign Q and still take Kittles, but it is extremely unlikely. Kittles has one year left on his contract at $9.8 million so the Clippers may think they can re-sign him for a much lower salary next season (he just turned 30) or just start over. It's hard to tell.

Considering that this deal could simply fall through, this does not mean the Clippers won't match.

Hey George how do you know that there was a press conference and that it was delayed? Was there something on their website?

It could just be the report that Ryan gave was from people who screwed up on the date (not blaming Ryan). This is entirely possible due to other reports that the decision would be made at 3 PM on Thursday.

I expect their decision to be leaked out tonight though

In any case, I wanted to start a thread that said that nothing has been announced for whatever reason.

Good thing. Had there simply been no announcement, the ambiguity might have been confusing.

When you take a #2, maybe you should start a new thread.

I think we should know something about what his cat did to deserve getting boogers flicked at him.

And if Devilalum isn't ready to tell us, he should start a new thread announcing that he hasn't announced anything, and will be announcing something soon, which, of course, will be placed in a new, different thread.

This is all contingent on the status of his #2, and whether there will be an announcement regarding announcing, or not announcing, its completion.

There is still nothing to announce at this time.








I may need to medicate.
