So Thursday is the NBA trade deadline. And last night, Sham Shirania of ESPN, talking about how the Clippers are working on a deal to move James Hardin.

After the Clippers game on Sunday, a game in which Hardin was not there because of personal reasons, the reporter asked Clippers head coach Tyron Liu if he was hoping and does he want Hardin

And I don't care what you do in the regular season. That doesn't mean anything to me. I want to know if you can play when the game's on the line.

Can you give me what you gave me in the regular season in the months of April, May, and

hopefully June?

If you can't, I don't want you.

Give me the player that can perform in the clutch.

Give me the guy that I can count on in the biggest the moments.

That's what I want. Right? I don't want Donovan McNabb. I don't want a guy that looks
