With the loss of this past year?s most pleasant surprise, Bobby Simmons, Clippers? fan(s) should be, once again, disappointed. This is just one more poor choice in years of frugal decision making.

For only five million dollars cheaper (over five years), the Clippers landed a comparable replacement in Cuttino Mobley. Although Mobley gives the team a sharp-shooter from downtown (which it direly needed), I?m sure Los Angeles?s best basketball team will miss the NBA?s Most Improved player for a multitude of reasons.
