The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[HIM]

If he’s back tonight, I’d love to see how the MVP/All nba discussions go. He’s played one game less than Embiid thus far

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Blake was already an All NBA talent, if there was another level to reach, he would have gotten there. That's what all them types do, regardless

 

[lawdog1]

If I give Doc the credit he’s claiming, his Clippers tenure really went full-circle because they were again a laughingstock when he left for the bubble choke against the Nuggets.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I wanna encourage everyone to stay safe out here. Don't get erupted

 

[HIM]

PG almost byke?

 

[commonsense23]

Correct. CP3 consented to be traded there because of Blake's rookie season. If CP3 and Blake weren't there, Doc wouldn't have taken the job.

Doc never got Blake and CP3 further with the Clippers than Vinny DelNegro did.

FAX!!!

 

[Mark Antony]

League/Silver wouldn't allow it

Missed this detail but I get it.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Is PG enough to carry a squad who are losers of the last 5 games and 7 of the last 9? I would say yes

I seen a video on why Lob City failed a while ago and I forget what was the reasoning the dude had.

I think they were missing a real elite combo guard.

That and I think Blake Griffin said on JJ’s podcast that there were team chemistry issues with clashing egos

 

[RustyShackleford]

This should be Kyrie's theme song with the way he beat the Government. Real American Patriot.

Damn you famb

I just ripped my t-shirt in half

I couldn't control myself

Tryna eat my lunch in peace, wasn't expecting Hulkamania to run wild on me

 

[clyde the glide]

[amitt5504]

Went down memory lane for like 5 minutes. Legit got up and sweet chin music air.

Wasn’t any one thing.

Didn’t have great luck with health. Either CP, Blake or both were injured for most of their playoff runs. 13-14 and 14-15 were the closest to fully health they ever were.

Never had a wing who could be counted on to consistently create his own shots. CP’s height makes it hard for him to be a closer and Blake’s offensive game was too limited for him to be that guy all the time.

Never had anyone who could be considered an elite wing defender.

Then the chemistry and ego problems kicked in after they failed a few times.

 

[Moheezy]

Doc wildn. Cp3 definitely put them on the map.

Doc should run for congress. He has a knack for creating narratives to benefit himself.

 

[lovehateself]

I’ll give Doc some credit. I would say CP3/Blake had the biggest part in it. But Doc went on a press run when he first got hired spreading the gospel.

Correct. CP3 consented to be traded there because of Blake's rookie season. If CP3 and Blake weren't there, Doc wouldn't have taken the job.

Doc never got Blake and CP3 further with the Clippers than Vinny DelNegro did.

doc traded himself to the clippers once they became a destination
mans had the nerve to try and bring kg there too


been telling yall, mans a scumbag

 

[ill steelo]

Doc wildn. Cp3 definitely put them on the map.

CP is the one who led them to breaking the playoff drought, though you can give Doc credit for helping keep them competitive after lob city ended.

But without David Stern, CP isn’t on the Clippers at all, and CP doesn’t seriously consider going to the Clippers if not for Blake.

All that to say, it’s been over a decade since the franchise has completely bottomed out. There were a lot of people involved in that & they should all be proud.

 

[antidope]

Surprised it took this bozo this long.

 

[frshstunna]

I know most can't stand Whitlock or I guess John Stockton now either but the second half of the interview where they just talked hoops was pretty good. I recommend checking it out.

You would be the type to willingly listen to a Whitlock/Stockton interview, imagine taking time out your day for that

 

[lawdog1]

Surprised it took this bozo this long.

No, not rocket science at all. Can't defend P-n-R to save his life and doesn't protect the rim.

 

[rolaholic]

Surprised it took this bozo this long.

Dude is the worst man,on top of being one of worst defensive bigs of the last 25 years

 

[lawdog1]

Kanter earned close to $100M in his career. He doesn’t need the money of an NBA job. He should be happy he now has more free time to go fight for freedom.
