2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

That's an insane amount. That's like $100 per offensive flop

 

they've got two years before that contract swallows a lot of their ability to field the rest of the team. can't stress enough that him not getting supermax early REALLY helped okc build their team. he made 35 million this year. that's jerami grant money!!

 

Hey save this. That’s a great trade. That’s the best deal. Jalen Johnson is a superstar and the next Gianiss. If you can do that deal get it done.

way better then anything San Antonio or Houston would offer. Way better than Thompson. Amen Thompson. He’s good but Jalen Johnson is bigger and can play more positions. Add the draft capital. And Rissser


San Antonio trying to get away without including Castle.

Gianiss Trey Young Amiks

 

It amazes me how we give up Davis

But San Antonio doesn’t have to give up Castle or Vassell for Fox San Antonio can get Gianiss and not have to give up Castle or Fox. What a joke. NBA.

 

Just hear me out.

Why get in a bidding war for these Centers. Who knows what’s going to happen.

See Ayton helps us get a serviceable Center for one season. He will play like Anthony Davis and Shaq to get that next contract.

Let’s be honest Laker nation in the 2021 series against Phoenix before Davis got hurt he was equal player as good as Davis in that series. If we get that Ayton we winning the championship.


This is with Luka. With Luka getting that attention. He’s gonna gravitate so many people towards him. Ayton will have Dunks and Layups. It’s a 22-10 season. For Ayton. Then decide after the parade if you want to pay him. He will get rejuvenated coming to L.A.



He’s a good player. You get players like him when you help other teams. Portland wants his contract off the books because they know they aren’t competing next season. And need to rebuild with Clingman.

I want Ayton. Sign Capela as the backup and call it a day.

Maybe Paul Reed. Let Brook Lopez go to Golden State where he’ll probably go let Golden State and Phoenix battle for him.

I’m Not Fing!!!!!!!!! Around. Tatum is hurt and we need to win this championship while Tatum has the injury and is out and Boston is down. It’s as wide open as Abella Danger on a video shoot.

Maybe a trade where Durant ends up in Miami Ayton ends up in L.A. picks go to Portland and players. And Miami picks go to Phoenix and Jacques Ware.

 

I would argue Shai worst. Anthony Davis is a NBA champion still in the prime of his career. Number 1 draft pick. Our defensive anchor. Our defensive identity. And a two way scorer. And Hall of famer.

For Luka Luka is a stud he’s never won a championship. And he’s arguably the best player in this league and pure scorer he’s a stud hall of famer. Just entering his prime way younger only 26. With the new NBA where point guards rule the league. This is a great trade. But our team completely changed with this trade. We might have won a championship if we kept Davis. But we pivoted. And I would’ve made the trade again.

But Davis come on. Max Christie a pick. We traded our whole defense.


The Clippers traded a future MVP NBA leading scorer. Hall of famer. And arguably the best player in the league that people are comparing to Jordan and Kobe for




Wait for it???? Paul George?????? What has Paul George won??? Coming off of a Leg injury. Clearly not the same. Now I know that Paul George was all NBA and was great with OKC



but Shai Gilles Alexander and those picks…


The Clippers destroyed it. They destroyed their franchise with that trade.

 

Shai won MVP whatever
Jokic is second,but Giannis is 3
How it's possible

 

i think the clips have ballmer's cash and ego in their corner. but yeah, they really missed a golden opportunity. they could have told kawhi to sign without the PG trade or go to us or stay in toronto, then used ballmer's cash and west's mind to build around SGA.

so they punted a few years and have to start over, which is hard.

back to our offseason, still watching the dallas, boston, milwaukee situations for opportunities at scraps moreso than primary involvement.

 

I think this is more on Kawhi then the Clippers. Which teams would've said no to Kawhi's demands when he was coming off a ring and finals MVP? He miscalculated thinking he can win with PG than SGA. It's in the Clippers blood to make bad deals though (Baron davis as a salary dump that turned into number one pick Kyrie lmao)

There was no way to see that SGA would turn into this, I don't think he would've developed into this without OKC (and the refs lol).

 

yeah, don't think anyone saw SGA developing into an MVP. if the clips had told kawhi they weren't willing to trade him for another star, he would've gone elsewhere

but as bad of a trade it was, i can't blame the clips for going all in given their history

 

I like your information.

but I disagree. I saw it in Shai. NBA circles said Shai was the next one. Out that draft you could see it. His potential was raw.

rumor has it Kawaii didn’t think Shai was good enough.

only would come if Paul George was coming to L.A. sometimes you have to make the unpopular moves. You never were going to overtake the Lakers I don’t care. But Balmmer thought Paul George and Kawaii would get 1 championship at least. They screwed up in the bubble against Denver.

That was their window. And then yall know what happened lol.

 

I’m a huge Kobe fan. So looking at Shai I saw a young Kobe knowing that Jerry West Handpicked him for Steve Ballmer I know what came behind it. It was the ultimate F UP!!!!!!!! Sometimes basketball isn’t just about players Michael Jordan it’s about Owners Ownership. Jerry Buss would’ve kept Shai.

Jerry Buss didn’t allow Kobe to trade Bynum for Kidd. Sometimes you have to let these players calm down.

What happens if Shaq says I want to play with my boy Penny. That kid Kobe ship his a** out and I’ll come.

Ballmer completely miscalculated Jerry West. I’m a tech. I’ll compare it to tech. That’s like telling Bill Gates forget the Mcentosh let’s hold off and go with a sure thing.

the reason this is so idiotic is. This was Jerry West final masterpiece painting in a long line of superstars.


Magic Worthy Shaq Kobe Klay Shai.

 

But Hey Clippers!!!!!

 

I remember West telling Shaq we got this Kid Kobe we think he might be special. Good. The kid is a superstar.

stuff like that is legendary.

 

HOLY s***!



How did NY let it them walk their way back into this one?


Edit: Going to OT, but DEAR LORD! Indy just wouldn't stop. Nesmith made what felt like a dozen 3s during that run.

 

Lol Pacers going to OT
And once again most overrated Haliburton buzzer beater

 

Indiana won in OT and they were -8 at 41 second left.
2 3 missed by Towns and Bransons

 

Stunner.

 

Knicks Thunder would be a Free throw merchants bogged down offense disaster
