5 Longshot Replacements

1. Any TNT NBA Analyst

If you recall last year, the Clippers made an effort to try to hire TNT Analysts Reggie Miller and Brent Barry away from the company but came to no avail.

I do believe they’ll make the same attempt this year as well.

2. Kristina Pink/Jaime Maggio

It would be pretty remarkable to pair Lawler with one of the two Clippers Sideline Reporters.

Both Pink and Maggio have served as excellent sideline reporters and I can possibly see one or even both getting a gig at commentating down the road.

3. Baron Davis

The Former Clippers Point Guard has said he wants to make a comeback to the NBA, well who said that doesn’t include Broadcasting?

Baron and Lawler would co-exist great as Davis has previously done some broadcasting after his NBA Career.

4. Billy Crystal

The most famous and most passionate Celebrity Fan the Clippers have. Crystal and Lawler would be a fabulous pair with Crystal’s sense of humor.

Not only would the game be entertaining on the floor but off it as many fans will be cracking up at Crystal’s jokes. Maybe have him just call all 41 Home Games, but this would be truly amazing.

Just listen to Billy Crystal joining Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy (it’s hilarious).

5. Lawrence Frank

Yes, Frank is busy with all the front office moves taking place but man does his basketball wisdom and especially talking about the Clippers team excite you.

He clearly does his homework day and night on players and it shows his passion for basketball and especially helping the Clippers win a championship one day.

Boy would it be fun to have Frank join Ralph.
