I’m not going to copy and paste all of his answers (the link is above on discuss…) but I wanted to put one for an example of the Del Negro way. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee/Image of Sport-US PRESSWIRE Blake Griffin is showing more emotion here than Vinny Del Negro showed all last season. If they can play, of course it is going a good situation because these guys are proven veterans who have the ability to guide younger players to the next level. What else was he suppose to say? If Hill or Odom can’t play anymore, of course it isn’t going to work out because the team spent money on players who didn’t perform. Guys are out a little bit but hopefully they will be back soon.” On paper it looks good but we still have to come together as a team and that’s going to take some time to build our chemistry and we still have some injuries right now. We’ve got a nice balance in terms of some younger guys in their prime and some veteran guys and some depth now. I think we have some great character guys, a lot of experience now and I think a good balance on our roster, our young guys are developing so I’m excited. This is what he said about the veteran additions integrating with last season’s young nucleus: The interview was rather boring–mid-level–but he said the right things. With that said, I think it’s safe to say, Del Negro will control the reigns for the foreseeable future.ĭel Negro was on ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas to discuss the team and what he thinks its ceiling truly is before the Clippers kicked off the preseason against the Denver Nuggets in Vegas Saturday. I have said countless times–the Clippers have the deepest team in the league after adding Grant Hill, Lamar Odom and Jamal Crawford. The Clippers have two of the top 10 most known faces in the basketball world in Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and have a list of productive role players surrounding them. Really, no reason to mess up a mediocre situation if it’s going to stay at the same level or digress.įor him, he’d be crazy to want to leave, which he doesn’t since he’s vying for a contract extension. Del Negro is in the bottom-half of the mid-level guys there are plenty of them looking for an NBA coaching job.īut, Del Negro has made some relationships and has been the only coach Blake Griffin has ever had. Unfortunately, I feel the Clips are in one of those tough positions where they can’t afford a better coach and would only bring in a lesser coach or a same level guy if LA did replace him. I seen what he did, or didn’t do, with the talent he was provided in Chicago and honestly don’t think he can/will push the Clippers to the lengths they have the possibility of going. I just wanted to share my opinion about the man if readers haven’t read it yet on other posts. If there is anything I wish the Los Angeles Clippers would change about the franchise, it would be to replace Vinny Del Negro as the team’s coach. Vinny Del Negro brought his blandness to ESPN radio.
