Clips Nation 's Steve Perrin gives post-2009 draft coverage for the Los Angeles Clippers .

Those guided by superstition have traditionally characterized the Clippers' misfortunes as preordained - as if management, a willingness to invest, talent evaluation, and coaching had nothing to do with a team's performance during its first 25 years in Los Angeles.

I'll have a lot more to say in the next 24 hours, but here's what's going up at TrueHoop: The last time Quentin Richardson was a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clips were a promising, young squad that included Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Bobby Simmons, and Chris Wilcox.

Make room for Blake Griffin. On Wednesday the Clippers agreed to a deal that would send starting power forward Zach Randolph to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for guard Quentin Richardson, according to an NBA source with knowledge of the deal, thus clearing the way for Griffin, the No.

Let's see which teams came out on top after a busy draft night at Madison Square Garden.

Trade?: Is there a legit trade offer you would consider for the No. 1? What if Minnesota offered Kevin Love and it's No.

Blake Griffin is definitely still learning as he takes his initial steps from college to the NBA.

The Clippers intend to keep the No. 1 overall pick in today's NBA draft. They intend to select All-American Blake Griffin of the University of Oklahoma.

Not even the perpetually incompetent Los Angeles Clippers can screw this one up.

If Blake Griffin is drafted by the Clippers, he'll add size, strength and athleticism to a position stocked with veterans.

With three days and counting before the 2009 NBA Draft, big question marks surround several of the top picks.

Hey, I just heard the Clippers got Blake Griffin! Oops! I mean they got the first pick in the draft, and are expected to take Griffin .

The last time the Los Angeles Clippers held the No. 1 pick was in 1998 when they took Michael Olowokandi.

This isn't a mock draft. Aside from only covering the first 4 picks, this is a rambling flow of ideas around each team's pick.

Power forward Blake Griffin from Oklahoma seems a lock to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Los Angeles Clippers in the June 25 NBA draft.

The rumor season is beginning and the Cavaliers are already involved. Several reports over the last few days around the Internet have linked the Cavs to big men.

Peeking through Chris Kaman's locker, pinned behind a crisp jersey, is a picture of a smiling Borat.

Since the college basketball season ended, the wait was on for Blake Griffin on what team was going to get the No.

After spending a day with the Clippers , Blake Griffin still wanted to be one. Speaking of an organization for which so much has gone wrong, that's progress.
