1. Lebron flopping is just a dirty tactic like CP3 pretending to shoot and throwing his arms through a defender to draw a foul. Get off your high horse people, our best player is hated by a lot of people for using dirty tactics.

2. Lebron has proved that his desire to be the GOAT is greater than money (unlike Melo) so i'm sure it is not impossible to keep CP3 and Blake while landing Lebron. However I don't know how we could keep DJ's salary as well.

3. Is having a big three of CP3, Lebron & Blake surrounded by Mullens type players going to be enough to win a championship?

I have no problem with LeBron, but the signor) article was written because we were playing them. Also can't get LeBron, Paul and Blake all together

I love how according to ESPN we've had internal discussions (that no one ever knows about except their secret sources) to ship out Blake in exchange for every other may-be-disgruntled star. No one admits to like Blake's game but in the end everyone is really curious to have him on their team.

GTFOH with these stupid made up stories Windhorst.

Also, complaining about flopping is the same as complaining about ref conspiracy, makes whoever's doing it look like a whiny loser. Regardless of it being truth or not.

Blake is the heart of the franchise he can't go.

lebron is the best player in the world. this isn't going to happen, but if it took trading blake to get lebron, it is a no brainer.

cp3 probably taught lebron how to flop. cp3 got himself hurt on a flop for crying out loud. either way, flopping has nothing to do with this decision.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this but what if the trade was for LBJ but CP3 was the trading piece? No way can you trade away Blake! He is constantly improving and still under 25. A team of Blake and LBJ is very interesting.

The whole concept of this idea was for LeBron to play with CP. They're close friends and no way LeBron would come if CP were to be traded back to Miami. It is possible for us to have Blake, CP, AND LeBron but we'd constantly be in luxry tax and have to sign a ton of players to min deals. We'd have to ship out DJ, Dudley, Crawford, Barnes just for a contract to work.

so if you had a choice between LBJ and the current SF situation we have now, you'd keep it as is?

I would not want that clown. He is right there w Kobe IMO. Absolutely can not stand him. Would he help the team? Of course. But I would not want to be forced to root for him.

That's the point. In fact, LBJ will not care about his friendship with CP3. That's business, man, and a LBJ+Blake is more succesful than LBJ+CP3. And could roll up for long time.

As of right now.. trade CP3 for LeBron. Who gives a sh*t if they're friends or not. Think about it, Blake and LeBron is a much scarier combo than CP3 and Bron. Power, strength, speed.. the fast breaking tempo would be insane :o If we get Bron we gotta have Blake. Blake is the future!

thats how i felt about Matt Barnes.

I think you would get over it.
of course I don't know you like that.
But I think you would eventually get past it.


what do i know?
i love LBJ....greatest player to ever play the game imo.
so...im gonna lobby for my team to bring in the GOAT. sorry man.

CP3 likes to have the ball a lot of the time and LBJ, while being a great scorer, is one of the best facilitators. Doc would be crazy to not set up a rotation where we have one of them on the floor at all times.

Honestly, if LeBron wants to come here why would he force the Clippers to trade Blake? Im not sold he would come here, but I find it hard to believe we wouldnt be able to send out a package of DJ, Crawford, Bullock and a pick for Lebron. That is assuming he tells Miami to S&T him here or he is signing elsewhere on the open market.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.
