What time is it?
According to the most recent B.S. Report (Simmons/Russillo), it's Doc telling the Clips to hang onto Bledsoe. It was really late last night when I got around to listening so maybe I misheard or had a fever dream.

Who will finish with a worse record Bobcats or Celtics?

I still think that having 3 top 3 players at their position is eventually going to result in a chip no matter your deficiencies elsewhere.
Westbrook
Harden
Durant
two scrubs
Sure, it wasn't beating a prime Heat team, but those guys are getting older. If they just locked those three guys up and remained patient then it would just be a matter of time.
Shit, even a draft like this proves it where you can probably get Dieng or Withey in the late 1st, two guys that are leagues better than Perkins.

I think the Clippers are out of their goddamn minds. Why are they blowing up this team again?? It's only been together for like two years.
sorry adam
come join me in knicks-age and I promise you the same amounts of futility and embarrassment that you know and love.

This all CP3. He wants to play in a half court system instead of Lob City. Thats why you bring in Doc and KG.

Cause dumping Dumbandre alone is worth it.

Well maybe so but the Clippers are mortgaging their entire future. Jordan isn't trash; he just needs to be developed more. Garnett has like two years tops left. Bledsoe, Jordan and Blake are young players who are worth more than Garnett and Pierce long-term.

Jordan wasn't even obese Lamar Odom good last year.
the answer is always the bobcats
seriously? i would love to see terry on that team, just so he can be in the playoffs again.

The Clippers weren't going anywhere with the current squad, so I feel that this trade, while making the Clips older, would be a step in the right direction.
It's not like CP3 is leaving.

Because they're old already, and this is basically easy money.
As one of DJ's oldest apologists, no. He's like 25 now. Unless he finds a well of maturity he's basically now, what he always will be. And he hasn't shown much growth over the last few years at all. And if anything, has gotten worse on the floor always trying to leak out for dunks.
Keep CP3, trade DJ, open up cap space, and possibly get C.Lee as a legit starting SG?
Think it's an overall win particularly with the coaching upgrade.

Not disagreeing, giri.
Eh...
This is such a gross image.
Not disagreeing, giri.
Eh...
I think KG is one of the biggest douches in the NBA, but if he can teach blake to not be a colossal bitch then the trade is worth it alone.
Only thing i'd be partially worried about is the clash of personalities between CP3 vs PP & KG. But that's what you get doc for i guess.

Source? And isn't that just saying that the Clippers have a backup plan, which we knew all along? It sounds to me that Rivers is still heavily favored to be the new coach. If we can dump Caron in the process, then even better. Still, if we dump Blake, it'll be a lot harder to root for the Clippers. He's one of the main reasons I enjoy watching them.

I'm going to laugh if the Celts/Clips deal falls through. WTF does Boston do with Doc? They can't bring him back, can they?

I don't think Blake is getting traded, rat. Dun leave us. :x

Clips won't trade with Lakers.
Lakers won't trade Dwight to the JV squad for an inferior player.
Sterling has a man crush on Blake and his dunking (like Al Davis and 40 times) and won't trade his seat filler.

Sorry for the epically late reply (shit came up at work)...
I stand by my statement that Ibaka will be worth his $12 mill/year contract within a year or two. He's still 23 and is already a top 10 PF.
And as far as YNB goes: guy is 3 years from his prime and is undeniably an absolute stud. And unlike Harden, he brought his A Game in the Finals last year. Guy is a flat-out gamer and his competitiveness is a major asset for our team. Harden and KD both have a fairly laid-back demeanor, not sure how that would affect us in the long term.

i don't see why don't the clips don't just take the deal even if they have to swallow an mle on courtney lee. they rid themselves of dumbandre's horrible deal and would allow kg to focus on just rebounding and defense.

We'll give you Asik&Lin for Dwight.
nope.
Listening to Bill Simmons podcast yesterday, him and Russilo both hinted that there are concerns about Noel and the people he associates with. They went as far to say that teams don't know who to contact to get in touch with Noel. Cleveland can't draft another guard so Len makes sense then.
Also Clippers and Celtics make progress but now playing chicken with each other.

People did it for me. But ibaka isn't even D.Lee good. So it's pretty easy to say he's not top 10.
You should stop being a neo-blazers fan and over rating everyone just because you paid him.
Oh, and people forgot LMA i believe.
Ahh, kad said LMA.
