Tobias Harris... just wait this shit out, fam. The Lakers will soon realize what the entire world already knows; DJ ain't coming here. Just wait it out until tomorrow night and you will be a god damn Laker.
Tobias pls

Robin Lopez and Omer Asik are rubbing their hands together like Birdman waiting for desperate teams to pay their asses. Finding a "serviceable" 5 ain't exactly a gimme. But hey maybe Rasho Nesterovic is available.

Would he mesh pretty well with Paul and Griffin there?

Its crazy that 65 year old Paul Pierce is a legit huge addition for the Clippers.
probably going to come off the bench and he likes Doc

He got a 3 year deal. Amazing.

How is this going to work out?
Paul
Redick
Stephenson
Pierce
Griffin?
That'd be getting a little carried away with the small-ball trend...

Doesn't Redick have an out? Cavs could use him.

They need actual NBA players on their bench. Biggest reason for the choke last year was because they literally had no bench at all. Pierce will play like 20-25 mins a night.

Bruh, I'm over here day-dreaming about picking up Hibbert in a trade. Desperate doesn't even begin to describe our situations.Celtics and Lakers suck so bad they both want Harris as a consolation

Damn I miss Andrew Bynum. I sometimes think he didn't get enough credit. When he was healthy he was a beast center.

Kid was a monster and was always getting better. If Bynum was healthy throughout his tenure in LA we wouldn't even be in this predicament. He'd be our star player and FA's would be jumping to come here. Period.
I'd even go so far as to say he'd be the best center in the game right now.

Holy crap, I just realized how many former Celtics are on that Clipper roster now.
Doc getting the band back together? Still trying to see if he can go undefeated with his 09 starting 5 line-up and shit?

JJ, Hedo, Big Baby, Barnes. Last years Clippers squad was heavy on former Magic players.
explains why they choked
Celtics starting lineup last year never lost a playoff series until they played the Cavs.

Dan Gilbert is going to have to rip off some more poor home owners to be able to pay the luxury tax on this roster.

Dummy Doc should have had Pierce last year
I still think KG and Pierce would have been on the clippers had the nba not "banned" trades between the celtics/clippers after the doc trade

Cavs salaries (rounded) next season: LJ (22 assumed), KL (19?), KI (15), TT (15), IS (10), AV (10), TM (5), MM (3), JH (1). $100M. So far.
Ethan J. Skolnick ‏@EthanJSkolnick 49s49 seconds ago
That accounting doesn't include Haywood's non-guaranteed $10.5M, still likely to be flipped for something. Or Dellavedova or minimum guys.
good god.

The end result in the East next year is going to be the same except the Bulls and Cavs will meet in the conference finals where Lebron will take their souls again.

Miami's got a great starting 5 (if Whiteside doesn't turn out a to be a one year wonder) that I'd probably put right up there with Chicago. They might need to make a trade or two to reinforce their bench though.
There's a bunch of teams who could make the ECF (Chicago, Miami, Indiana, Atlanta, Washington, Milwaukee, Toronto). If LeBron is healthy, the Cavs are the only team who has a shot of coming out of it, though.
Worst GM? yep.

Really nice to have Butler back in the fold but even sweeter that asshole LeClown isn't able to recruit Bulls players.
Win-win day, too bad the Bulls are out of money.

I'd appreciate a team more if they said they felt poorly about a meeting with a free agent.

Has any team ever come out of a FA meeting saying they blew it?

Toronto got worse, Washington got worse, Atlanta got worse, Indiana is a dumpster fire as long as Roy Hibbert is moping around.
Miami's starting five is exciting, but they're even more likely to be hit by injuries than CLE or CHI and they have no bench.
I'll give you that Milwaukee is probably the team most likely to make a jump ahead of CHI, especially with Jabari back for a full season.
There's also a decent chance that Hoiberg ends up being a terrible fucking coach and the Bulls turning into Brooklyn of the last couple years.
