Bo Kimble, Michael Olowakandi, Danny Ferry, Joe Wolf, Benoit Benjamin, LeRon Ellis, Terry Dehere, Brian Skinner, are some of the bad mistakes Elgin Baylor has made in his tenure as the GM of the Clippers. I mean they have been cellar dwellers since he became GM, and really haven't made an effort to be good until the brass at the Staples Center told the Clippers management that if they dont start doing something about their ways they won't renew their lease because they feel they can throw 5 concerts and make the same as the Clippers do in one season. So since 03-04 the Clippers have been trying, and only having one good season in 05-06 and then it was back to the doldrums. Albeit injuries hurt them after that great playoff run, still they have been terrible for years and years prior. Elgin needed to step down because the game had passed him by in all facets. He enjoyed sitting courtside and eating popcorn and getting his face on the jumbotron every now and then. Elgin go out quietly and honorable because you are a legend and you dont want your image tarnished by the Clippers, you are a H.O.F.er and you are 74, chill out and spend some of that money the Clippers were giving you for losing. Your resume is not a good one and you lost 1135 games to be exact while you were the GM so you really have no argument and you don't want them airing out your dirty laundry, so take it like a man and realize the game has passed you by.
