Warning : For basketball fans only
I will not rejoice over somebody losing their work. It's just that back when I cared to watch the lottery, poor Elgin was always in his usual seat. Great player but then his salary was earned by putting up with restrictions of a one Donald J. Sterling . In all that time he was there, how many winning seasons did the Clippers have? It was like having Billy Crystal as a fan was enough.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Elgin Baylor is out as vice president of basketball operations with the Los Angeles Clippers, and coach Mike Dunleavy will assume his responsibilities as general manager.
“We greatly appreciate Elgin’s efforts during his time with the Clippers, and we wish him the very best,” Clippers owner and chairman of the board Donald T. Sterling said in a statement Tuesday.
The 74-year-old Baylor became vice president of basketball operations with the Clippers in 1986 after an outstanding 14-year playing career with the Lakers and a brief stint as coach of the New Orleans Jazz.
He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1976, chosen as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players during the league’s 50th anniversary celebration in 1997, and named the NBA executive of the year following the 2005-06 season.
