The Clippers don't know how to win and won't figure out in time for the Lakers to right their ship. The Clippers will always be the left handed, freckled stubby orphan.

The Bill Walton story was the first sign that things would never be right for LA's second basketball team.

Bill Simmons writes an open letter to Blake Griffin on the eve of the NBA draft - ESPN

Levin signs free-agent center Bill Walton to a lavish six-year deal, giving up Kunnert, Washington and his 1980 No. 1 pick (eventually No. 7 overall: Mike Gminski) as compensation. Was Levin worried Walton had missed 203 games over his first five seasons because of repeated stress fractures in his feet? Of course not! Walton ends up playing 14 games over the next three seasons and just 169 games in six seasons as a Clipper. That could be you, Blake. Sign with Italy for a year. I'm telling you.
