Give Tyrone the two-way at half time

It's embarrassing that the Lakers with Ingram, Kuzma, and Randle are struggling against our Z-team. I'm loving it, though.

With preseason now in the books, some thoughts:

-Blake looks sharp. His shooting is there. Hopefully he continues to take 3's at this rate. All NBA first team'r if he does so. (Health provided)
- Milos Mania is a real thing, he was everything we expected and wanted him to be.
-Hopefully the injuries to our guys are precautionary
- Wejo has made me angry with the preseason he's had. Hopefully this means he'll shoot 40%+ from the corners again and solidfy that 2nd wing behind Gallo.

WeJo's resurrection is going to be interesting for Dekker getting playing time, but I don't trust him to be consistent with it. He's going to have to show it for me. I'll believe it when we are at game 70.

Blake is on the MVP train, looking for him to do big things. Injuries make people forget very quickly how good a player really is and that's just been annoying for him recently, but it's happened to players before where they have an injury span, then they shake it off. This is his shake it off year.

Early Saturday afternoon, the Clippers reached an agreement with the Salt Lake City Stars to acquire the returning rights to Tyrone Wallace. Wallace was selected 60th overall by the Jazz in the 2016 draft but did not earn a contract with the team and instead played for the Salt Lake City Stars last season. This trade (in which the Clippers gave up the returning rights to Aaron Craft and their 2nd round pick in the 2018 NBA D-League draft) ensured that if Wallace ends up in the G-League this season, he’ll be with ACCO. The Clippers then released Wallace from their NBA roster. So long as he clears waivers, he will be a normal G-League player for Agua Caliente this season.

The Clippers opted to give their second two-way contract to C.J. Williams, a 27-year-old wing who played for the Texas Legends in the D-League last season. This will allow Williams to play for Agua Caliente despite Texas controlling his returning rights, as well as play with the Clippers before and after the G-League season begins and ends, in addition to a maximum of 45 days during the G-League season.

LOL

the z-team played really well, with more ball movement, athleticism and teamwork than the 2nd unit we've been putting out there the past few years

ACCO should be fun

I was actually able to watch the first half of this game. I'm a busy guy these days and a lot of these games were on too late for me to watch. I'm happy that the regular season is now starting earlier. I can't wait to see how we do in our first game.
