With the re-signings of Steve Novak and Brian Skinner the Clippers stand at 14 players under contract, one under the league maximum. Ramon Sessions is not one of those 14 having signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It turns out that after months of speculation Sessions was never actually offered a contract by the Clippers. The [...]
In 1996 Brent Barry proved to the world that white men could in fact jump. That year he won the NBA Slam Dunk contest with a Julius Erving-esque jump from the free-throw line.

Wafer was also being courted by the Clippers to the extent he actually had a sit down with Mike Dunleavy last Tuesday. I’m [...]
A week ago I was sure Ramon Sessions would end up a Knick.
