There is no seating for the public to watch the All-Star game, but then who would pay to see Theo Ratliff run up and down a 90-foot wooden rectangle?

If Odom becomes disenchanted and leaves the city, the youngsters will follow like dominoes out the door, in the order their contracts run out. With very promising players, including Darius Miles, Quentin Richardson, Keyon Dooling and Corey Maggette in the fold for the next few years, the Clippers will be one composed veteran and a starting center away from making the playoffs. | |
