In this video we talk to Marcus Camby, Al Thornton, Eric Gordon, Paul Davis and more about what they have planned for the new year. But most importantly, find out which player's plans for 2009 include some salty fish, a shot of Jack, and starting a new clothing line.

Decision '08: Who Is The Best Player In The NBA? The Players Vote

Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos.

Like the election itself, it's one of those topics where everyone has an opinion, where everyone's right and no one's wrong: Who is the best player in the NBA? In an effort to find out, we polled the experts themselves and talked to NBA players from around the league, including Amare Stoudemire, Eric Gordon, Steve Blake, Al Thornton, Ricky Davis (who had a surprising, yet smart, choice) and more. Some of the picks are expected, and some are sort of out of nowhere. But they're all worth checking out.

Watch the full video, chock full of "expert" opinions, after the jump.

What Can the Clippers Do Now?

Now that Elton Brand is Philly-bound and Corey Maggette has seen the light and chosen Northern California over points south, what on Earth are the Clippers to do? Landing Baron Davis was a coup, plain and simple. But losing the team's two other top weapons -- when desperately trying to keep one of them in Brand -- is bad news.

What do the Clippers do now? L.A. has substantial cap space, which had been earmarked for Brand. There's a gaping whole next to Chris Kaman -- something named Tim Thomas or Paul Davis are otherwise your starting power forwards. Josh Smith of Atlanta, a still-restricted free agent who had been Philadelphia's premiere target this summer, seems like a no-brainer. He's not your traditional power forward, but he's certainly the best option alive (and some would argue he's a better piece than Brand at this point).

With Eric Gordon in line to succeed Cuttino Mobley at the two-guard, chasing someone like Monta Ellis or Andre Iguodala out of spite wouldn't be practical. If you think Al Thornton is an acceptable power forward next to Kaman, though, maybe you chase Iggy to play the three for five years and hope for the best. Between Davis (not Paul), Kaman, and Thornton, there's a good chance scoring won't be a terrible issue. (Scoring efficiently might be.) Smith or Iguodala both offer non-buckets contributions, and should be high on any list of targets the "braintrust" in L.A. develops.
