Paul is destroying Dame again

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts needs to put Layman in

 

[KingSpeed]

LOL, you think we're a contender? He built a mediocre team, then massively overpaid it.

How should he have built a better team? Who did he not draft? Who wanted to play for us that he didn't sign?

 

[Strenuus]

Throw a chair, Damian!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Stotts needs to pull a pop here and let 3rd string play whole second half.

 

[BonesJones]

Paul is destroying Dame again

The Clippers are sending 3 guys his way every time he drives, and our scheme gives Paul all the shots he prefers.

 

[KingSpeed]

How much is this us not having Aminu?

 

[BonesJones]

How much is this us not having Aminu?

Maybe 5 points worth?

Do you think contenders are built over night? Especially in our market. Should we tear it down? You're the only person with this sentiment. You're honestly a fool. Quit trying to get reads because no one cares about your garbage take.

 

[illmatic99]

We need a big man in the worst way. ET is garbage and looks like he's regressing

 

[KingSpeed]

Why didn't Crabbe shoot the open shot? Ugh.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh

 

[MickZagger]

Dude, Crabbe earn your keep, player.

 

[EGame]

Wow what did I come home too

 

[Darkwebs]

Doc Rivers called a timeout for us because he felt so much pity.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Crabbe sucks

 

[Sinobas]

He strapped the team with 3 really bad contracts. That can limit FA opportunities, trade opportunities, might force Paul to have to decide wheather to pay luxury tax to keep certain guys....bad contracts are bad for the team, you know that.

Ezeli come back. Trade Turner.

Blazers are clearly protesting the election.

 

[Haakzilla]

Los Angeles Whistles!

What should he have done to create a team that would've appealed to you?

How much cap space would we have had this summer without those "bad contracts"? Honest question...

 

[illmatic99]

We loom like a borderline playoff team. Lakers have been better

We'll be able to amnesty Turner and trade Crabbe for Noel. Go from $36M a year to $3M

This I agree with. We need a big with a skillset of scoring the post. Quit putting so much pressure on Lillard/CJ. Drop it down low to a big guy to take the pressure off every once in a while.

 

[Cippy91]

But really somebody tell me anything ed Davis, Meyers Leonard, or turner has done? Even crabbe. What improvements has he even shown to be worth his contract? Dame is the only one that comes every year on another level and this dude has 100 mil from us and 100 mil from adidas. I just don't get it. We have Meyers 4 years, after LA left, he talked this big talk like him and dame would be leaders. Ed Davis regressed. The way they decribed turners role is nothing like he's been given this season. I don't see what hope I should have in this team this year

 

[rasheedfan2005]

They sat for the anthem and never got up

 

[Strenuus]

Phew! We made it to 30!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

This coming summer... 0 due to the CJ extension kicking in. Which is why we went ahead and spent money.

 

[KingSpeed]

Could we let Turner go to Seattle in expansion draft maybe?
