I know he's a terrible owner and all, but check out some recent quotes from this article:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-simers-20100817,0,6043016,full.column

A couple of months ago this was going to be the summer of all summers for the Clippers, a fresh start, a chance to hire a new coach, $17 million in cap space to go after LeBron or other big names like him and make a huge splash.

And so they signed Randy Foye and Ryan Gomes.

Or, as Sterling put it, "If I really called the shots we wouldn't have signed Gomes and what's the other guy's name?

"You know, they told me if we built a new practice facility we'd attract all the top players in the game," Sterling adds. "I guess I should have doubled the size of this place."

"I swear to you, I never heard of these guys," Sterling says, "but what if the coach says he wants them?"

The new coach is Vinny Del Negro, confident and cocky at first like all the other Clippers coaches who have come and gone, Del Negro saying he did a great job in Chicago and Sterling saying he's been told by the Bulls' owner that Del Negro was his favorite guy.

So how come the guy was fired after two years?

"I really like the coach," says Sterling, Del Negro standing across from him, "but then I guess I've said that every time I've hired a new coach."

Sterling says he can't understand why LeBron didn't listen more intently to the Clippers' overtures, which included $100 million and unstated things being done by Staples Center to enhance the L.A. invite.

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

5-10 years ago there was a log of chatter about how terrible Sterling was but rarely did I hear more incite than bad hiring. He really has been doing a great job the last couple of years of rectifying this lack of information.

It is one thing to say you don't even know what's going on. He takes to the next level by barely knowing what's going on but still saying the team is signing players he doesn't think they should. Ryan Gomes is going to help counteract Sterling's cancer more than anyone else on the FA market outside of the big 3.

Yeah, that's one of the most outlandish interviews I've seen given by an owner in quite some time. I mean, seriously? Why would he say ANY of that stuff, let alone all of it? What a huge fail, no wonder why the Clippers are perpetually cursed.

Gomes certainly has his work cut out for him to combat the cancer of Sterling, that's for sure...
