Persons is straight up romancing this dude..... If this keeps up and Houston keeps adding pieces teams are going to copy and start drafting players for their effeminate features and ability to hug....

Thanks Lebron

I can't wait for the locker room fight Lin and Howard have over Parsons.

In a recent interview in Brazil, Kobe calls Dirk Nowitzki the best foreign player of all time.

"Dirk Nowitzki is the best foreign player of all time, period. After him, I have to put my companion on the list, Pau (Gasol). Pau has always been one of the best, one of the most skilled I've ever seen. And then, perhaps Manu (Ginobili). And then, you know, there's Drazen Petrovic, Vlade Divac, Arvydas Sabonis. I'm sure I'm forgetting many, but these are the ones that come to mind. And Tony Parker"

Poor Yao Ming.

Also, Hakeem wasn't an American citizen until the mid 90s.

Kobe disrespecting Andrew Gaze & Oscar Schmidt

Might as well lock in Dwight as a Rocket. Parsons has never been rejected in his life.

Andrew Gaze was Tmac before Tmac.

These Darko workout stories will never stop being great.

 

[fertygo]

That Darko story is some documentary material, my god.. I laughing too much.
I remember the story from somewhere he used to schooling Marc Gasol at youth level too.

 

[Apath]

Finally was able to snag the best shirt I saw on TV during a random game, fuck yeah! <3 Jo

I'm so ready for next season, yo'

Where did you get this?

Adrian Wojnarowski &#8207;@WojYahooNBA 1m
Clippers called Celtics today, offered a future 1st round pick for rights to coach Doc Rivers and sides near agreement, source tells Y!

Back on, it seems. Why wasn't this done a week ago?

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Apparently the Wolves like Caldwell-Pope. Hopefully he's still there at 9.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Apparently the Wolves like Caldwell-Pope. Hopefully he's still there at 9.

He's the best two in the draft and will be available so congrats

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Back on, it seems. Why wasn't this done a week ago?

Clippers get this done already. I am tired of this flip flop trying to get Doc and interviewing other coaches.

 

[Red Blaster]

sucklemore has allegedly been bombing workouts everywhere and is sliding fast, wouldn't be surprised to see kcp go before him

 

[Rodeo Clown]

He's the best two in the draft and will be available so congrats

Yeah, hopefully. I don't know if he can really shoot well enough, but I think I'd be happy with it.

Glad that people have thrown water on that Shabazz at 9 talk. I really don't want him.

 

[darkside31337]

Back on, it seems. Why wasn't this done a week ago?

No idea.

Fascinated to see if that Pierce for 2 2nd round picks deal happens with Cleveland.

They really should do it but dumping Pierce for a couple 2nd round picks is probably not something Ainge wants on his record.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Back on, it seems. Why wasn't this done a week ago?

This is still going on? lol wow.

Will Clippers fuck up a third time?

 

[Spooks]

I wouldn't really hold my breath for that cavs celtics trade to happen.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

He's the best two in the draft and will be available so congrats

Uh, McLemore? Oladipo? Heck, I'd even take McCollum over Caldwell-Pope.

"Rivers and the Clippers are working on the language of a five-year, $35 million contract, and no agreement will be in place until those details are finalized, sources said."

I hope he somehow falls to us.

Turner needs a friend to cut himself with. Maybe they can share tips

Didn't Stern say the league wouldn't allow this deal?

If it goes through, I wouldn't blame rondo for bitching him out. Whos ever heard of a coach jumping ship like this. If Rondo want to cry now, its not nearly as bad as crying for Perkins' chubby ass.

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm so ready for the draft to get here so I can have an idea of who we're going to pair Dirk and Chris Paul with. Pretty excited.

uh, CP3 is staying a clipper. This Doc move ensures it.

Boston fire sale coming. Everything must go!

Need to Pierce something? Wanna snag a big Bass? Need more Green? Wanna feel a bit more KG? Now is your chance!

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Derrick Williams for Courtney Lee. Straight up.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

So which Heat players are unrestricted FA??? I think Birdman is and we might let him walk

 

[Black Mamba]

Sources confirmed on Sunday afternoon that the "final touches" of a three-year, $21 million contract were being put together, with a first-round pick as compensation for the Boston Celtics, who have agreed to release Rivers from the three years, $21 million he has remaining on his deal with the club.

Still can't believe sterling would pay $7 mil per year for a coach. That along with a near LT team.

Crazy world...

 

[Branduil]

Rondo has to be on the trading block now, right?

 

[KingKong]

ahem

No trade. basketball reasons

 

[Bread]

Derrick Williams for Courtney Lee. Straight up.

deal

clee deserves to be on a team with playoff aspirations, and i'd like to see williams get some real playing time.

 

[Black Mamba]

Rondo has to be on the trading block now, right?

not necessarily. He's only 27, so it depends on what they think of him going forward.

But I imagine everyone is available for the right deal. I think Rondo would cost a lot, though.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

ahem

No trade. basketball reasons

Well, this doesn't include Garnett (lol right), so it should go through?

 

[Eleuin]

Boston will probably have a better pick in the 14 draft than us, fml

 

[giri]

Rondo has to be on the trading block now, right?

Yeah, but who, realistically, can use him?

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Yeah, but who, realistically, can use him?

Are you for real? There are a ton of teams that could use Rondo.

 

[dream]

Good riddance to that lob city nonsense.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Are you for real? There are a ton of teams that could use Rondo.

Rondo in Indiana would be pretty cool

 

[FullMetalx117]

Are clippers really making a good choice here? 7 million for a coach per season? Sending a 1st round pick? All for that to be a second round team at best?

 

[darkside31337]

Assuming CP3 stays Clippers will be pretty good now with an actual head coach.

 

[Blackace]

Didn't Stern say the league wouldn't allow this deal?

It's a legit deal now

 

[giri]

Are you for real? There are a ton of teams that could use Rondo.

Such as?

There really aren't a lot of other teams with 3 great midrange+ shooters out there.

It's a legit deal now

Stern said he'd still try to veto it. Because it involved picks. but that would mean he's trying to say rivers contract is illegal. And that has a whole bunch of other repercussions i'm not sure he's ready for.

 

[Bread]

kg, rondo, pierce to chicago for mirotic, deng and charlottes 1st

 

[StickSoldier]

Ugh, I hate my life.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

And you can decline to pick up Williams' option, making his deal expiring. Wins all around.

 

[Blackace]

Doc is a great coach who puts together a great staff

Coaches do impact the game more than people credit them for

And they have to do something getting Doc doesn't hurt their cap so yeah pretty nice move

 

[darkside31337]

I thought Stern's protest against the deal was because it involved a coach being involved in a player for player deal and the fact that the two teams were trying to skirt the rules by havig a "side-trade"

Draft pick as a compensation doesn't seem like its the same thing but its Stern so who knows

 

[dream]

Doc is a top 3 coach who will have his team playing defense, while ditching that lob city shit for some actual half court offense. $7M/yr seems fair for that.

 

[Blackace]

Stern said he'd still try to veto it. Because it involved picks. but that would mean he's trying to say rivers contract is illegal. And that has a whole bunch of other repercussions i'm not sure he's ready for.

Thought it was the unknown year of the pick
Like future considerations that he didn't like
