It’s been an interesting summer for the Los Angeles Clippers.  First they lost their general manager, Neil Olshey because owner Donald Sterling didn’t want to pay him.  That left head coach Vinny Del Negro, team president Andy Roeser and assistant general manager Gary Sacks to make personnel decisions.  On the surface, losing the guy who […]
