Surprise! Lance's fit w/ the Clippers turned out to be just as bad as everyone predicted.

Doc the GM continues to have a spotty track record in LA.

Kobe's gotta be there imo

draymond should be in there instead of westbrook though

Player A: 24 ppg, 7 reb, 10 ast, 2.5 stl in 34 minutes per game; PER 29.32
Player B: 15 ppg, 10 reb, 7 ast, 1.5 stl in 35 minutes per game; PER 20.21

You think Player B is more deserving than Player A? Draymond Green is a damn good defender, but in a game that's about crazy high scoring and high flying antics, defense doesn't really matter, and Russell Westbrook is vastly superior to Draymond on offense. If anyone shouldn't be there, it's Kobe, but apparently seeing a dusty old skeleton jacking up airballs really draws the crowds.

lol, the Clippers even sent cash to pay for Smiths salary. Doc is such a bad GM.

The money is included because in the NBA if both teams are over the salary cap (they are) you have to make salaries match.

It's fine to criticize Doc for being a bad GM but signing Josh Smith to a minimum contract and then trading him mid-season didn't do any long or short term damage. He hoped he would get the Josh Smith that was good for 1 quarter of playoff basketball. He hasn't been that guy. He's been the same Josh Smith that went unsigned by Atalanta, traded by Detroit and then unsigned again by Houston.

The same can be said if Lance gets shipped out in the next few weeks. Doc traded Spencer Hawes and the 3(?) years left on his contract to get him.

There's not enough good players in the NBA to pick and choose who you want to compliment your starting line-up, add in the salary cap and you take what you can get as far as bench depth goes. See if it works, if not shuffle your deck and see what's next. The Clippers window is now they're not playing to develop young guys or re-develop old guys.

late but who the hell was voting for Zaza 0_o
the hell, I would have an aging Dirk the god over him

How didn't Lin get voted in the all star game if you could troll vote, everyone loved Lin during linsanity x the Asian basketball scene is huge, how did he never make an all star game

Walton is a little weird with his rotations sometimes, especially his bench lineups, so I think Kerr will actually help that. Otherwise, hopefully they just continue what they've done the past two games.

Assistant Ty Lue has agreed to a multi-year deal as new Cavaliers head coach, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Lebron probably cried to Gilbert or something.

Unreal. Best record in the conference, going to win 60 games and gets shitcanned. And they replace him with an assistant coach from the same very staff... ok.

And looking forward to Lebron saying he had nothing to do with it when he obviously had everything to do with it.

Team has always ignored Blatt and went directly to Ty Lue for everything the past year and a half. Blatt was always the seat warmer. You don't pay a guy 5 million to just be an assistant.

Of course the timing is completely idiotic, but that's Gilbert being Gilbert. Shouldn't have gotten indecisive in the organization and hired 2 coaches anyways.

Yeah, but Kevin Love is unplayable against those same teams. I kind of understand it? Though Blatt didn't trade Wiggins for Love...

I guess if they really hated Blatt or something, but SAS and GS simply have better rosters. No coach will change that (and 31-8 otherwise is damn good).

Can at least get firing Blatt for someone with a more established track record like Thibs. But firing him for an assistant on the same very staff is just illogical. If you think the team was underperforming replacing him with the guy who was basically the assistant head coach and giving that guy an extension just makes no sense.

Blatt was in way over his head anyway, they should've let him go in the off season. But im gonna guess there was an internal blowup recently.
