Mike Dunleavy fired from Clippers…again

In an absolutely stunning move to GM Mike Dunleavy, the Clippers and Donald Sterling decided to part ways with his services just a month after he was let go as coach.

Mike Dunleavy still doesn’t know exactly what happened. Tuesday afternoon he got a haircut, packed for a scouting trip to the ACC tournament, then went out to a local golf course for a couple hours.

Unbeknownst to him, and still unexplained to him as of late Tuesday night, during that time he was being fired as general manager of the Clippers….

Barely a month after Dunleavy relinquished his head coaching duties to focus solely on being general manager, the team announced his departure in an e-mailed statement. Assistant general manager Neil Olshey will take over Dunleavy’s job.

I truly believe that Donald Sterling is playing the NBA version of chatroulette with the entire Clippers staff. The man seemingly doesn’t care about anybody or anything. Dunleavy said he just had dinner with him this week and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Mike, buddy, there’s a reason that the Clippers are a terrible franchise. It starts and ends with Donald Sterling. I’m certainly not saying that Dunleavy is worthy of the Clippers job or any job for that matter. He seems to be more of a product of the NBA good ‘ol boy network than anything. But finding out from the caddy on the golf course you got fired is a crappy way to go out. Might as well have screamed “Noonan” in his back swing.
