Melo to the clippers would be a good look imo. Ship him out for Blake

We might as well tank for Zion and Lamelo Ball.

Lamelo Ball is a damn joke. Dude will get tore the f up in college. He nothin but a no-defense, cherry pickin *** playin joke.

Trey Johnson's lil brother literally embarrassed this fraud and so did that John-Stockton clone from Mater Dei, Spencer Freedman.

how you brag about being humble?

Man Paul pierce was dope... Forget what y'all heard...young Paul pierce was fun to watch with twon...then the KG/ray Allen version of Paul pierce was a beast and a perfect compliment to the big ticket.


For a few years when PP got to his spot for the elbow jumper you knew it was wet

At some point we gotta ask ourselves if Paul is really all he's been made out to be. Can't always blame it on the other guys or injuries.

CP 3 ain't worth $200 million. And if Ballmer signs him to that extension, it would be the biggest mistake for that franchise and will guarantee that they never reach the Conference Finals in the next 5-7 years.

Nope
 

I was kind of happy when it was reported that he signed with Dallas. Tristan' Thompson > DJ at this point.

Nope

The $200 million contract the Clips bout to sign CP3 ain't gonna buy the franchise a championship. Period.

Been saying this for YEARS

Deandre has to learn some more offensive post moves this offseason. Catching lobs isn't enough.

I hope he works on stretching his game.

Would love to see him shoot about 4 three pointers a game next season.

 

[Mr.Guy]

What's the difference between losing in the finals and losing in the 1st round?

 

[nick.]

Also, replacing Griffin with Melo would make the Clippers worse

You actually had a shot to win

your losing to better teams.

Big difference between losing in the first round then losing in the finals. Don't play. Stop it.

How you gonna hate from outside the club, you can't even get in?

Losing is losing.

Here's the thing...

K.G. WAS THE REASON the Celtics won a title in 2008, not Paul Pierce.

Without his tenacity in the paint, without K.G.'s leadership and toughness, without his commanding double teams down low, without him outperforming Pau Gasol in the '08 Finals, the Celtics do not win. End of story.

not Really. Blake is always injured and in suits during playoff games, even when he does play. He's. A no show more often then not. Epitome of fools gold

CP3 gonna have to explain to his son why he's home from work early, again

Clippers really just need to add Melo and some shooters to compliment the big 3... that makes them 2nd best team in the league IMO

Shooters with size that can defend but I agree with your sentiment

Issue is those guys are en vogue and cost money which the clips don't have

So it's on the margins. You need to hit on your late draft picks, FA, d league, etc. and I guess this is where you can blame doc the gm for this
