they are looking for a back up point? they drafted 2 then traded them... what happened to house? do you think they would trade house for hart...
Getting a two-way guard would be better though, experienced, can play defense and at least solid on offense. Compliments Bibby, like how Bobby did.
Assuming Douby doesn't become the full-time back-up. Which is not clear right now. I think you just gotta have a PG with some time in the league somewhere on the bench.

This is what happens when a team signs 3-4 max contracts! Kind of sounds like us a few years ago. Of course I don't think we had anyone at Tim Thomas' talent level but still.

Another thing is the Suns look kind of dumb because they sold off their draft picks to re-sign Thomas. They gave away Sergio Rodriguez for squat! That guy could have been perfect for them. Their owner really wants to stay under the lux tax I guess.

Indeed. And if they never do quite make it over the top, he, along with a lot of fans, are going to have to look in the mirror and wonder what if?

Tim Thomas to Clippers........
Clippers Sign Tim Thomas
The Los Angeles Clippers today signed free agent forward Tim Thomas. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.
Thomas has averaged 10.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in nine NBA seasons with Philadelphia, Milwaukee, New York, Chicago and Phoenix.
“Tim is a multi-talented player who can play several positions for us,” said Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor. “He is very versatile offensively and is able to stretch the defense with his perimeter shooting as well as having a good post up game.”
Thomas was instrumental in Phoenix’s run to the Western Conference Finals last season, averaging 15.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game during the 2006 NBA Playoffs while shooting 44.4% from three-point range. In the Suns’ seven game series victory over the Clippers, Thomas tallied 14.7 points and 6.1 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game.
“We are extremely pleased with the signing of Tim Thomas,” stated Clippers Head Coach Mike Dunleavy. “We feel his ability to play as a big three and as a mobile four gives us the versatility that is a must for a team that wants to compete for an NBA championship.”
Thomas declared for the NBA Draft following his freshman year at Villanova, and was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the seventh overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. He enjoyed his most productive season in 2003-04, when he averaged a career-high 14.7 points per game with Milwaukee and New York.
He has averaged 13.7 points and 5.2 rebounds in 53 career postseason games. http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/thomassigns_060713.html
