I've been a Clippers fan as long as you've been a Clipper's player.

And with that said, it sounds like I picked a good time to start.

Go hard in the paint, Boom. See you next season.

BD what are you personally prepred to do to make improvements. will you come into cmp overweight again? or will you come in in shape. why did you not mention a single thing you are gonna do to better the team. what will you actually do?

actually we did
5 years 75 million
the last 2 years in the deal were only guarenteed if baron stayed healthy enough

Come back to the Bay, Baron. We need you...

B.D please make us proud. Please get KAMAN on the band wagon with you!
GO CLIPPERS!!

If you show up in shape next Fall, I may start to believe you...

Good luck next year Baron. God knows you are gonna need it =)

BD! or as u like it BoomDizzle!!!! Man I hope u have some influence on the Clippers management. We have so much talent for us to have a bad season like this. We can compete but it seems as if we dont care to win. I was at the last game and I had to partake in the BOOING because its very frustrating when we go out like that with a bad season. I just want to say I appreciate you coming to the Clipper organization and going through our beat downs, this isnt the first and I hope its the last. But I'm glad to hear words of HOPE! Thanks BD and hang in there!

No Doubt you mean what your saying but theres no denying that the team out there can not compete with the style of Dunlevy. You saw it with terry porter in phoenix and theres no doubt that the clippers would thrive with you creating oppotunities in the open floor. Good luck baron

Back to Yay! Need ya BD.......works both ways right??? Just get up here already.

Great letter and as a fan of both the Clippers and B.D.I keep faith that next year will be MUCH better =)

Been a clippers fan for the past 25 years...hoping to see you all do better next year. Can't wait for next season.

I am indeed a Clipper Nation representative. There is no need for apology. I know there were alot of questions before the season began, and as the season moved along we acquired new players and dealt with alot of injuries. I am happy that we'll have a really good draft pick on top off a healthy clippers group that has learned ALOT from this past season. I think DJ Dense was the only Clipper who stayed healthy (thank God for DJ Dense)... Clipper Nation is going to explode, watch out folks.

I support you all the way, Baron!

Wish your were in the Bay BD...we need the leadership, swagger, and the 'We Believe' back. Contrary to popular belief, you'd be welcomed.

I really wanna believe in you, Boom. Please restore faith in Clipper Nation. Please prove the naysayers wrong. Please take the torch from Sam Cassell and bring back the swagger the team had 3 seasons ago. Whatever it takes, please do it.

Unless he comes back as an MVP next season, nothing will make up for how bad he stank it up last season. He came into training camp out of shape and accepted a Jenny Craig contract that could very well sabotage his career.
He was supposed to be the franchise savior. Instead, he just made Clipper fans endure another year of hell...only with twisted flames.

This is a pathetic joke. BD has no heart as he showed all year. So, per his own statements, the whole thing is meaningless.
Baron needs to man up and acknowledge he lead the team into the gutter and was a horrible role model. Clips would be better w/o him

I belive! Next year is the year that starts a dynasty. The Clippers will no longer be the "whatever" OR "maybe next year team." I believe!

Baron you full of beans! Mike Taylor owned you. Who are you kidding, you can careless.

10-Q Baron! I believe in u and the Clippers organization.
UN SHOT-Jimenez

Hey Baron

The whole team (coach included) have to come correct next season. The team has a ton of talent, and will be adding more in a couple of months with a high draft pick. Talent only gets you so far though. Last season it got us nowhere. Injuries, chemistry and identity all play a part of it, but other teams can use that same line. We still underachieved no matter what way you look at it. The team needs to commit to playing team ball. Guys need to work on defense. Every player may not be a great individual defender, but team defense works. I hope all of the guys watch Cleveland this season, or tapes of Boston last year. The team also needs to work on passing the ball and knowing their roles. Look to take smarter shots (high percentage shots), attack the basket, move the ball.

The slate is wiped clean, but you guys have to be ready to roll before the season begins. Let the other teams get into shape during training camp. The Clippers need to be in gear when training camp comes around. Everybody needs to be in good condition, healthy, and focused. The west is still going to have a lot of competitive teams, and it's probably going to take 47 wins or so to make the playoffs. The guys need to all come into camp with the mindset that we're playing for the gold, not just improvement over last season. Set your goals high, and don't accept mediocrity.

Sounds great Baron, but what are you and your teammates going to do this offseason that you didn't do last summer? In other words, what will happen this summer to make the results different in 2009-20010? I'm sure there's a lot that I don't know about you and Mike Dunleavy working from the same page, but I do believe that if you and your teammates emulate the training intensity of a guy like Kobe Bryant, injuries will drop dramatically and your record will improve dramatically next season. You have extraordinary talent and leadership ability. These two extraordinary traits that you own have meaning only if they're utilized. Best of luck!!!!

lakers and clippers babeeeeeeeee

Dear Baron, I'm your italian fan, and a Clippers fan first of all. I don't know if you read this post, but I want and I need to believe in you. For me you are an example to follow, exspecially on the court, and I agree with you when you say: "there's no place like home"! You are THE leader of this team, and the team has got some good players, not phenomenons, but good for have a nice season. I'm with you man!! I only hope for the team, that dunlevy will be fired, because I hate he as a coach. But on the court there are the players! Go Baron, an italian fan is with you.

BD.... injuries and whatever else that was going on gave you no excuse to dog it the way you did during stretches of the season. Having been a season ticket holder for 8 years, i've never been as dissapointed in a player as I was with you this past year. After 8 years of watching NBA games in person, i know if a player is just going through the motions of if he's busting his butt... and we both know what you did. As the leader of the team and the new face of the franchise, you let us all down.

Draft Ricki Rubio please!

I wanna believe you man I really do...

Boom,,,I dropped my season tickets last year because of the economy. I was able to retain my seats with a miniplan. I renewed for the 2009-10 season though. I've been going to Clipper games since 1987 and am ready to give this one more try,,,but you guys gotta show me something or its done. I'm not expecting a ring, I am expecting a decent show and some heart, playoffs would be nice. Fool me once, shame on you,,fool me twice, shame on me.

The words "I'm sorry" are conspicuously missing from that letter, Baron.

This season was sooo hard to watch, especially with the high expectations. I love Baron's game, but I have to admit that I thought BD took games off, and/or played without a lot of heart. Again, not trying to be a jerk. If BD plays hard, this team should compete...period. But do NOT let Camby off the hook either. I hope with all of my Clipper heart that Davis is the real deal. I am excited for 2009-10 with Gordon and Thorton. If BD and Camby play with heart, the Clippers will be competitive. PLEASE don't give us empty promises BD!!! The Clips have a loyal fanbase and will exalt you if you bring this team a winner! Go Clippers!

Baron, the last game almost broke my heart. We were all there for our team, people brought their little kids with signed basketballs, and had their faces painted. The game was a disaster, you know this.
We're still getting our season tickets, but halfheartedly. Please do something. You, Marcus, Al, Eric, Zach, Steve, and everybody else - I admire all of you, you're great men, talented, powerful, handsome, please make us want to come and watch the game! Yulia

I have been a fan for about ten years now and was extremely close to giving up on the Clips. But Baron thanks to your words I realized that I can stick it out. The players that the clips have are truly amazing ball players and I look forward to continue to root on the red and blue. Today I say I continue to be a member of Clipper Nation.

For all you clipper fans remember our opener against the Lakers. Baron promised change. that didnt happen. The clippers have a bunch of high ego players who think about themselves first. It sickened me watching every game and seeing Randolph being isolated every possesion. ugh disgusting season all around. i dont know why i like this team

I believe it when I see it! No matter what happens next year - what YOU put Clipper Nation thru this year is INEXCUSABLE and will NOT be forgotten.

That is what I was talking about Baron. Man I wish i can't meet you in person. Better tear it up next season.

"I'm dedicating myself...." Seems to me you say the same thing almost every year, BD. I do not believe.

Unless you find someone who can rebound the ball consistently, expect the same next season -- Clips are soft

Sounds like FO letter, Baron only put the sign.

BD's gotta keep his head in every game, and demand the same of his teammates. If I see it in the first quarter of next season then I'll believe him.

ain't no way Bdiddy is going back to the Bay. LA is where he belongs. Baron, I don't know if its the age problem but I have not seen a single dunk from you last season. I miss your electrifying moves to the basket.
