The Los Angeles Clippers won’t let the lockout interrupt their development. Last week, the young team held a minicamp in Los Angeles that lasted four days and included ten players. Blake Griffin and Mo Williams organized the workouts. Eric Gordon, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes, Trey Thompkins, Travis Leslie, and Brian Cook were among the players in attendance. The players worked out for several hours each day and then spent time together off the court once the training sessions concluded. The team is improving their chemistry on and off the floor, and the workouts gave the two rookies, Thompkins and Leslie, an opportunity to meet their new teammates. HoopsWorld

I’m kind of torn between the two,” Cook told the media after the Illinois basketball alumni game last night. “I’m looking into China right now, we’ll have to wait and see,” he said. The Sports Bank

It’s another chance for me to be able to take care of my family, to be honest with you. My three sons, I got little kids, my wife- that’s what I’m all about,” he answered. The Sports Bank
