Los Angeles Clippers NBA Cheerleader Girls

After a disappointing 2007–08 season, the Clippers obtained the 7th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, and selected Eric Gordon. The team also selected DeAndre Jordan(35th overall pick). Mike Taylor (55th overall pick), was acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a future second-round pick.
Also in July, the Clippers acquired Marcus Camby from the Denver Nuggets in return for a $10 million trade exception and the choice to exchange second round picks with the Clippers in 2010. On July 23, the Clippers also acquired guard Jason Hart from the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Brevin Knight. On July 28, the Clippers signed Ricky Davis to a one-year deal, with a player option for a second year. They continued an active offseason signing (and one-time Clipper) Brian Skinner on July 31, and traded for Steve Novak on August 6 for future second-round pick considerations, in a deal similar to the Camby trade.
In August, the team signed guard Jason Williams to a one-year deal. The Clippers re-signed Paul Davis. They signed three Davis' (Baron, Ricky, and Paul) in their "rebuilding offseason" in which they obtained key players such as Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Ricky Davis, and Williams. However, just prior to the start of training camp, Williams announced his retirement in September.
In October, according to reports from various sources including the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, and the team's own web site (Clippers.com), Elgin Baylor ended his 22-year reign as Vice President and General Manager of basketball operations. It was one of the longest tenures in professional sports history. The Clippers indicated that Baylor had retired from his post, and as a result, head coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr. assumed the role of General Manager, while director of player personnel Neil Oshley was promoted to assistant general manager.
