Would rather have had Fultz than Russ.

I’m happy Russ still finding jobs. It’s gonna be year by year for him at this point

 

[lawdog1]

So nobody wants to play with Harden huh

Russ wants a bigger role than the 12-20 minutes he was getting off the bench with the Clippers.

Just a disastrous last 12 months for Calvin Booth trying to keep the Nuggets contending.

Pretty interesting roster build by the Clippers this off-season. Seemingly going all-in on defense with DJJ and Dunn to keep a baseline of competence. Not sure if Kawhi, Harden, Powell is enough to get through a long season.

That’s the concern and why a lot of Clippers fans are still advocating for bringing LeVine on.

My feeling is they’re going to roll the dice with the moves they’ve already made and hope that they can get some offense from young guys on already on the roster improving like Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller.

I do expect both Bones and PJ to be gone too though.

team by team
this needs updating

Sending Westbrook to the Jazz is the nastiest of works by the Inglewood Clippers front office.

Lakers gutting their depth for Rust still gotta be one of the worst trades of the past few years.

Russ can come to Cleveland as Garland and Mitchell's backup

 

[Moheezy]

kawhi should just retire and ride the 98 tahoe into the sunset

Kawhi is still playing?

Vampire Brodie with one last parting gift

I think it’s basically a done deal that he’s going to Denver.

 

[tay1]

Can't wait for the tie game with 14 seconds left and Brodie dribbles dribbles dribbles all the while ignoring Jokic and Murray

 

[Moheezy]

Jokic been advocating for him to sign there

I’m confused. If Russ is bought out, then why would the Jazz give up Dunn for nothing?

Doing Dunn a favor and getting some cash/draft compensation.

Think Dunn had a player option on his contract, but wanted to leave. He could have left outright for nothing, but opted in because a sign-and-trade could help both teams. Hence the Jazz getting a pick swap and cash.

Zubac will score a few more assuming Harden gets to truly have point guard duties.

KPJ can score if he sees the floor.

If Kawhi can play like 60 games and everybody else is relatively healthy I think they’re still gonna be a playoff team.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

russ going to Denver would be the nail in their coffin and officially close their window

As a proud member of MLGA, I fully support this move.

Right on time after those comments Jeff Teague made the other day about not wanting that pressure in LA.

 

[antidope]

Jokic been advocating for him to sign there

 

[lynchpin33]

What I wouldn’t pay to be in the room when these two discuss their triple double strategies.

Jokic - I get my numbers in the flow of the game, really doesn’t matter as long as we win.

Russ - Points are no problem. I’ll pass up a shot if I have 9 assists. My big man (Steven Adams) made the sacrifice to box out for me to get rebounds. Would you be willing to do the same? The look/reaction of Jokic would be priceless.


Real talk: how is this an upgrade over KCP or Reggie?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The new Big 3

horrible. Calvin Booth and Kronke throwing away the rest of Jokic's prime.
