In my this morning's perusal of HoopsHype, I came across a nugget from the Nets Blast Blog (also, check out the guy's Soup-Nazi-esque photo): And [the Clippers] would undoubtedly play hardball, because [the] are so paranoid they always try to kill you in a deal, and everyone hates talking to them. Then I thought to myself, "Hmmm, he's right. The Clippers don't make a lot of trades." In fact, other than trading Jared Jordan's rights to the Knicks for cash, the only deal the Clippers have made since July 2004 (when they traded for Kerry Kittles, for those scoring at home) was dealing Marko Jaric to us.
