The Clippers are screwed.

I LOVED reading this. A little bit of joy in a long week.
At least now CP3's constant whining has a legitimate reason. Eat shit CP3. You deserve it.

Kaman for JJ Redick.

I could definitely see them taking Plumlee for Redick. He's athletic and good on the pick n roll. Would fit well there. Maybe we could then swing Kaman for Hibbert?? That would be a nice, plausible, last ditch effort to keep Lamarcus

 

[Draco]

We should trade them Henderson, Plumlee and Kaman for Jamal Crawfords contract and Austin rivers on a huge one year contract to make salaries match; they give us their unprotected pick in 2021 (only one they can trade) and pick swap options in 2018, 2019, 2020

Let's trade for Doc Rivers and make him one of our assistant coaches. It can be done...it was before. The Clippers would have to fire him as GM, but by now, they are looking to get rid of him. They'd do it for Connaughton and Gee with some Crabbe tossed in.

Your first mistake is doubting Paul Pierce, just ask @speeds.

For 2 reason, Father time has ended plenty of future HOFs careers and he is no longer playing in the E-League. Im skeptical until he can show he's able to play 82 games in the western conference.

The Clippers are screwed.

from the article

L.A. has just $2.27 million to sign another player, and no viable starting center would ever sign for just $2.27 million.

from comments after the article

Next season is going to be rough
The Clips need a real GM. The guy before wasn’t great and Doc only calls his old friends. Barring some sort of miracle 15-16 is going to be hell, mainly on the bodies of the starters … again.

10 days ago, the "guy before" traded Batum for Mason Plumlee, who started at Center last year for most Nets games. He will make $1.8 next season. Try trades instead of free agency, Clips...but I feel for you.

I think Freeland ends up there.

Freeland is listed at the end of the article as a possibility.

@AlexKennedyNBA: If you're keeping track, that's now at least 5 players who turned down larger offer from SAC (Ellis, Matthews, Harris, Brewer and Beverley).

But they landed a HofF PG!!!!

 

[BrianFromWA]

we could S&T Freeland for Redick and open up a bit more room for them.

 

[Blazinaway]

Orlando has too many SF/SG's, perhaps we can work out a trade for a guy like Evan Fournier?

we could S&T Freeland for Redick and open up a bit more room for them.

they badly need a BIG, we could trade Plumlee or Ed Davis for Redick if we really want him, or sign a guy like Koufus or Jordan Hill and then trade them for Redick

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Mavs went from the worst offseason to the best offseason in ~24 hours...Things can change at the drop of a hat in FA, never forget that.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but by my reckoning they reduced the number of players that plays defense by 1 - and I think they only had 2.

Jordan is going to be playing a LOT of minutes.

Wes Plays D. Not until the holidays though...

Hibbert to the Lakers! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What's CJ Wilcox like?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hibbert to the Lakers! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

Time to revisit all those news stories praising the Lakers for taking Russell over Okafor because big plodding centers are dinosaurs.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow.... plan J for the Lakers

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow.... plan J for the Lakers

At least we know they're still working.

Haven't heard anything beyond the whole "losing Aldridge" thing. Which, I assumes, we're mostly set now.

But.... It is nice to see LA struggle so mightily.

 

[B-Roy]

Chase Budinger was traded to the Pacers for some scrub.

Wilson Chandler signed a 4 year 46 million dollar extension with the Nuggets.

Caron Butler signed a two year deal with Sacramento.

Joel Freeland turned down 3 yr 6 million with the mavs and vet min from Cleveland and San Antonio to go to Moscow.

Alonzo Gee signed a two year deal with the Pelicans.

Will Barton is on the verge of a 3 year 11 million dollar deal with the nuggets.

Just trying to keep this thread alive.

 

[KingSpeed]

Way to go, Thrill!

 

[santeesioux]

The Kings are looking to sign Bargnani now. What a dumpster fire that I am very glad I can watch without needing LP.

They may not be that bad though. If they can mesh, lot of talent on that team.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Did the Kings get Rondo?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Did the Kings get Rondo?

Yes. 1 year 10 MIL I believe.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yes. 1 year 10 MIL I believe.

Dumpster fire. That guy could fuck up someone else's wet dream.

 

[Hobbesarable]

It'll be interesting seeing how Karl gets them gelling together. Hell, he's having a difficult time mending his relationship with Cousins.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Dumpster fire. That guy could fuck up someone else's wet dream.

Idk man..

Rondo / Collison
Bellineli / McLemore
Gay / Butler
Cousins / Evans
Koufus / Cauley-Stein

There is talent and potential there.

 

[santeesioux]

They're going to suck, and it's going to be fun to watch the dumpster fire burn.
