I took it more like Dudley loved his time in Phoenix and hes letting Bullock know that is where his career took off.

good point. i also do indeed hear that arizona is the pretty girl/low self-esteem capital of the world.

There is a reason why Arizona and Arizona St. are always on the top 25 party school lists...

Regarding Dudley... I also wouldnt expect him to be taking a shot at Rivers or the Clippers, as I can see him getting into coaching when his playing career is over.

but get defensive if someone says you're not a real Clipper fan.

Man, for someone who claims to hate all of my posts and has me on ignore, you sure haven't stopped whining about me or reading my posts. Believe it or not, your opinions are not the be all, end all and not everyone is going to be an apologist for the organization.

At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: for the Clippers to win. If I didn't want that, I wouldn't be wasting my time on here, that's for sure.

how about taking your own advise and stop being so damn defensive?

Jesus f*cking Christ, I have no words for how angry I am at this sh*t. It's one thing to be a bad executive and not being able to make good moves, but this is a whole another level, this is just power hungry nepotism and he don't give a f*ck what anyone has to say about it.

Bullock is gonna be a starter in this league, I'm pretty sure of that. Furthermore, he's gonna be the exact kind of player we're in search of, a great defending wing with a great-to-elite long range shot. And you give him away to take a wild attempt at saving your son's career, who is doomed to be out of the league in a year or two maximum. And on top of that, you take us for dummies by leaking to the press that it's not you, but the rest of your minions who want your son cause "it makes sense". Are we supposed to believe all your ass-lickers are ret*arded???

I've been trying to contain myself and not be a whiner, at least until the trade was official but I don't care anymore, I'm just angry. Mark me up as a full on Doc-hater from now on, this is outrage-worthy and makes me fully believe we're never gonna amount to much until this con artist is gone. I haven't been this pissed at any of DTS moronic moves, not with any of Elgin Baylor's draft blunders, not when he forced Oshley out, not when he gave that contract to Baron Davis, and not even when he gave away Kyrie Irving to get rid of that contract. This is just wasting the prime of the two best players we've ever had by not giving a f*ck about anything but prosper his and his dumb friends own careers.

F*ck this, this is making me not want to watch basketball no more.

This, so disappointing that Doc doesn't give young guys a chance. Bullock will dominate with Suns, you watch.

Another thing, what the f*ck is up with Ballmer?? you spent two **** billion dollars on a team just to hog the camera and be the awkward stupid cheerleader??? you're gonna let this dude waste away one of the biggest investments in a sports franchise ever, just because he has a good reputation and did well during the DTS fiasco? doesn't he have anyone at all advising him on basketball decisions??

qrich, I feel your pain. I think the clips were so disappointed in farmar that they would do anything. getting rid of bullock when we are in need of wing defenders was a mistake. you are not going to get a starter now with jamal without bullock included. hopefully rivers can defend and run the second unit better. doc now has a poor history of evaluating players and it appears to be getting worse. I see in the playoffs a rotation of cp3, jj, and jamal if all are healthy. will it be enough, I really do not know. time will tell.

Disappointed. At least Reggie showed signs of potentially being a solid 3 and D guy. Rivers has showed pretty much nothing. If anything, get rid of Farmar, and keep Reggie. Doc just making bad move after bad move smh...

Lindecision · Post #213 » by **Lindecision** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 4:42 pm

Nah. Not gonna go overboard with this. We already knew Doc was a bad GM. Its just a bench move at the end of the day. I don’t mind throwing the dice on Austin Rivers. Farmar’s been that bad. Just not for more than a 2nd. Its negotiating 101. There was no need to deal Bullock. At the same time, CP will likely be out of his prime by the time Bullock amounts to anything and becomes the 3D wing we need. Hopefully we can get that guy via the MLE next season. And hopefully Bullock blows up so Ballmer will take notice.

Spoiler:

^ That right there is the list of SF's available in free agency next summer (minus the Lebron's Butler's Kawhi's etc. that we're not gonna get for the MLE). Only dude with potential to be better than current Barnes is Khris Middleton, and I doubt the Bucks let him go for MLE money (he's restricted). Plus, we're probably not even gonna have the MLE next year.

It's not just a bench move, it's the draining of the last of our assets, and the last of our hopes at a starting SF.

Forte IV · Post #215 » by **Forte IV** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 5:34 pm

To be honest. If Bullock becomes a great 3 and D guy it isn't with the Suns. Not when they have Green, Tucker, Marcus Morris, & Tyler Warren ahead of him in the rotation. Bullock's career is going nowhere until he gains confidence and doesn't just shoot 3s.

Good point. Other than Middleton, I also like DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Singler. Doc will probably want a scrub washed-up vet like Richard Jefferson, though.

The end result of another Doc signing: dead cap space this season and next season.

Green is probably gone next summer, Warren is too green and Reggie will probably overtake him in the rotation as long as he plays reasonably well. Marcus plays a lot of time at the 4 with 3 of Bled-Dragic-Isaiah-Tucker-Green. If Bullock's given some minutes and progresses as he was looking like he would in the last few weeks, he'll be the main bench wing for them next year, and I can see him eventually starting over Tucker since he's a better shooter and can easily be as good as a defender. Maybe I'm a bit higher on him than most here, but he has a few rare qualities in this league.

But it's not just another bad move.

It basically shows just far doc is willing to go to create some distorted version of a team. And the worst part is there is no end in sight. In a vacuum, yes it's one move. In the long run, he's going to keep doing it because he is CLUELESS.

He is just throwing away pick after pick, asset after asset right in front of the prime of cp3's and upcoming prime of blake's careers, and it won't stop.

The guy is completely out of his league as a GM. i wish i had the energy to explain how angry all this has made me.

btw i'm a denver broncos fan so this makes me really appreciate someone like john elway quite a bit. it's really too bad we don't have a legend of our own to trust in like broncos fans trust elway.
