2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

CP needs to go back to New Orleans. Although he would still be dealing with an injury riddled team that is maxing out three players.

If he does, either Davis or Cousins has to go.

Don't the Pels need a legit wing also

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Blake the only person that really should go. Dude looks like a superstar for a half or 3 quarters then goes ghost all the time. That Melo trade shoulda been done.

Don't the Pels need a legit wing also

Also need a legit coach, too.

What's the incentive for Blake to do a sign and trade though?

It gives him an opportunity to not be the scapegoat

Even Lebron sign and traded himself out of Cleveland when he went to Miami. Saves a little face.

Would like to see George Hill go back to San Antonio

I'm speaking if it's for Melo, has he given any indication that he wants to be in New York?

Clippers had 4 plus years with CP3 to do something in the playoffs. The result was an underachieving one.

The Clips of '13-'17 was basically the same team as the Prime D-Will, Boozer, Kirilenko, Okur, and Millsap Jazz. Solid but not great enough to go to the next level.

Time to gut the team. 

Rockets with Yao/TMac is more comparable due to the injuries.

Kinda think the Suns have some interesting pieces to work with for a Griffin trade.

I hope Phoenix doesn't trade for him.

Didn't the sign and trade parameters get tweaked some with the new CBA? And couldn't he just walk to Phoenix they have a ton of cap space this summer.

IDK, I never quite understood the 2011 CBA rules let alone read the new rules.

Ultimately if Ballmer doesn't fire Doc as GM, he may be dumb enough to actually bring everybody back. Ultimately I think CP0 stay for the cash and Blake and JJ are gone. Doc does the coldest move a father can do and trades his son for Carmelo. 

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Can we keep all clipper talk in the offseason thread with the Lakers? I'd highly appreciate it

Haha this bottom out scenario would be so bad in the most awesome way

I missed the game today, but watched the highlights on espn. That was pretty much the lineup they had for some of the highlights . There was one lineup during the highlights where it was Mo, CP0, Crawford, Felton, and Rivers

On the ballmer podcast with Simmons, I got the impression that if doc didn't perform, he was gone. I expect him to be fired.

CP3 slander cannons were a massive disappointment, y'all wouldn't win a knife fight

My patnas in crime weren't here. Sea Manup come byke homie.

To be fair, they ran out of the same ammunition.

Great comparison. Lotta hype, nothing to show for it.

Sports talk shows are gonna be lit tomorrow. They're gonna have the entire Clippers dismantled by the end of the day. Can't wait to hear the slander.

If your starting PG and SG can't touch the rim your chances of advancing deep in the playoffs are slim
