Spence next season in Detroit.

You already know :hat :hat :hat I'm too excited. It's funny because Detroit keeps saying he won't play next year because of the knee, when he'll be 100% healthy by training camp. Really think he'll be the PG that team needs to trend in the right direction. The long term solution at point. Will have to make a couple of trips out to the palace this year as well as seeing them when they play LAL and LAC. Can't wait.

Spence is better at running an offense than Jennings. Serious.

Yep. Which is exactly why I feel like he's legit their long term solution at the point. Perfect to pair with Drummond. Big Pass first PG who's a knockdown shooter and already is much better on the defensive end due to his size and length. It'll be clear as day that he's their PG for the future by season's end watch.

Only if Bower is wiser than Dumars.
 
well after reading that.. cant root for the clippers to ever win a title..

is that just for shelly's life or can she pass those on?

So she get's a couple meaningless titles and gets to go the games still? Big deal. That just makes her a glorified fan now, nothing more. The coaches, players, nor anyone else in the organization is working for her. They're working for Steve Ballmer. Shelly could use the money she's getting from the sale to buy the perks she's getting anyway, even if it wasn't given to her. So what's the difference?

And while she may not be a good person, I find it hard to believe that the charitable foundation she's going to start with a portion of the sale proceeds won't do some good for someone. Plus, there's probably some provisions built into the sale agreement about what kind of organization it will be. Considering that, hard for me to be upset about that portion of the deal.
 
Can't wait till y'all turn on AD like y'all did Kyrie, Love, PG etc etc.

NTs moto is overhype a promising young player...when he doesn't immediately live up to that hype...then bash him. Lmao

No way is Anthony Davis the 3rd best player in the League. These young guys gotta earn it man.

All of this :lol

I don't see his team making the playoffs anytime soon.
 
He wasn't top 3 last year, but would it shock you if he took that step this season? If not '14-15 I'd be surprised if he wasn't by '15-'16.

This is fair, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened but for him to crack top 3 in 14-15 or even 15-16, his team would have to at least get the 8th seed...for me at least.

3rd best player in the L is some very high praise man. Gotta at least be in the playoffs for that title to be given to him.

a lot of rich people use charities for tax reasons
 
I think we're all in agreement that AD will run this league soon.

Just let me get my title first ;)
Jrue, okay. But Reke and Gordon? New Orleans better not waste Davis' prime by not surrounding him with a stronger, more efficient supporting cast.

That's true, but it doesn't necessarily mean that those charities aren't doing anything of value.

Its actually not easy to have a completely sham charity. There are legal rules charitable organizations have to follow, particularly if they are exempt from paying taxes.

Sure. It wouldn't surprise me if 2 or 3 years down the line he was in that conversation.

He def has a lot to work on, and has to prove it before we anoint him. Guys on here just want to be the 1st to the punch.

A lil too soon right now.
