Clippers Aren't Getting Any Better Younger

The Clippers have added another aging player to their lineup.
Welcome “White Chocolate,” otherwise known as Jason Williams, to La-La Land.
Since their woeful season mercifully came to a close, that other team in L.A. has added 10 new players to its 14-player roster.
Problem is those players aren’t exactly “new.”
Gone are Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, i.e. players in their prime.
In are 30-somethings Williams, 32, Marcus Camby, 34, Jason Hart, 30, Cuttino Mobley, 33, Brian Skinner, 32, Tim Thomas, 31 and Dan Dickau, 30 next month, i.e. players no longer in their prime. Then there’s Baron Davis and Ricky Davis, who turn 30 next year.
Not that 30’s old. I’m a man, I’m 30 (well, 31 to be exact), but who’s counting?
Maybe Ryantific, 31, and I should try out for the Graybeards Clippers. We'd be more than happy to split the league minimum.

Speaking of La-La Land and comings and goings, how about Kobe admitting he’d bail for Italy for $50 million. Where has all the commitment gone? Atta boy Brian Giles. Just say no to those Sox.
