John Lucas joining Clippers? Or maybe not

Here is real evidence that nothing truly vanishes on Twitter. It appeared as though hoop coach Al Brooks (Coach_Al_Brooks) on Tuesday was apparently channeling his inner Kevin Love and breaking this bit of news on Twitter: ‘John Lucas has a tough decision to make soon. LA Clippers job offer as top asst. Amazing when you’ve had it all u realize money is secondary.’ Tonight, gone. A fleeting tweet. (Did find out, via Brooks, that the much-traveled Othella Harrington had a good practice session this morning.)

As for Lucas? The Clippers have talked to him but it sounds as though discussions may not be quite as advanced as it appeared on Twitter.
