A team official believes that the chances of the Clippers swinging a deal before today's deadline stand around 20% to 30%.

"As of right now, that is not the position I'm in," said coach/general manager Mike Dunleavy. "We talked to the owner and he basically said, 'Make basketball decisions.'

"Now if something comes up that we think fills both needs, that could happen. We've had a lot of opportunities to dump salaries, and we passed on them."
