update Brand and Magette are staying. Olowokandi and Piatkowski have left. Miller and Odom want out, but are restricted free agents. Not as bad as it could have been, but that's still a big loss to a team that wasn't great to begin with. They still have no point guard and a rookie at center.

update ESPN's Chad Ford has an article on The Great Clippers Exodus if you're a paid subscriber (I'm not). They also seem to have removed the backdoor I mentioned earlier.

The LA Clippers, that is.

According to recent reports, Mike Olowokandi (12.3 ppg) is going to Minnesota, Elton Brand (18.5) to Miami, Corey Magette (16.8) is headed to Utah and Andre Miller will depart for Denver (13.6). That represents 2/3 of the team's scoring, 3/4 of its rebounding and 2/3 of its assists. Assuming their other free agents don't depart (including Odom, Rooks and Eric Piatkowski), and they don't make any big additions, their starting lineup for next year will look something like:

C Chris Kaman
F Sean Rooks
F Lamar Odom
G Marko Jaric
G Quentin Richardson

Ouch.
