The Trail Blazers are sending two players and $3 million to the Clippers for center Marcus Camby.

Mike Dunleavy has stepped down as the Los Angeles Clippers’ head coach, retaining his job as general manager. Assistant coach Kim Hughes will replace Dunleavy on the bench, where Dunleavy has led the Clippers to just one winning season since 2003.

There was no championship hangover for these Lakers. Kobe Bryant scored 33 points and Andrew Bynum added 26 on his 22nd birthday as the reigning NBA champions opened defense of their title Tuesday night with a 99-92 victory over the Clippers, their Staples Center co-tenants who played without injured No. 1 overall draft pick Blake Griffin.

Sources say that the Clippers have traded Zach Randolph to the Grizzlies for Quentin Richardson.

The Clippers took Blake Griffin at No. 1 on a day in which Shaquille O’Neal was traded to the Cavaliers and Vince Carter was sent to the Magic.

The Clippers remain intent on keeping the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, and they're expected to make Oklahoma's Blake Griffin the top selection.

It's tough losing to the Clippers, especially when you' re supposed to be on a championship team.
