I consider Redick one of the best slashers in the game simply because of his endurance.

My favourite play is:
JJ runs off the ball. A screen is set for JJ's defender. If the defender tries to go over the screen then JJ ends up on the way to basket with the defender trailing resulting in a layup or the defense rotating. If the defender goes under the screen then JJ has the ball with a wide open 3pt shot.

We cannot run this play enough IMO.

I could not agree more. yesterday he made his first 3 shot and then they slowly went in another direction. Miami killed us basically with one play and the ran it all day. we were not only out played we were out coached.

So now we'll see if this guy has legitimate sources. Sounds like a bigger deal than just Austin Rivers.

I don't know as I'm relatively new to Twitter but I get the impression that he has leaked some information in the past. In either case, I'm monitoring to continue evaluating his reputation.

There's got to be room for an Austin Rivers to develop on a team like the Clippers ala Danny Green. He sucks, unquestionably. It's quite hilarious to me actually. But he's not void of talent.

shouldn't cost us much to re-sign him here as well.

A few reporters follow him. That's not necessarily the be-all, end-all, but could be an indication. I've followed him for the past couple of seasons and he has leaked some information of players that the Clippers had interest in early (sometimes weeks before it hits an article) and behind the scenes rumblings. He is a fan, so there's also going to be a lot of opinion in his tweets as there would be with any other fan. Imo, there's no harm in keeping an eye on it and if something happens, it happens.

I also saw on the wiretap that we're interested in Aaron Afflalo, looks like the Nuggets are ready to give up their Vets.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I can see that. Often times but not always, I find some of his hard-line opinions mirror my own. Uh oh. :-o

well, opinions of course are fine. but passing your own opinions off as a credible source is a pretty sh*t thing to do if you're supposed to be some sort of insider.

I have him on my follows list. Interestingly enough, he gave me two follows, but has removed me every time I said something bad about the team, and it's usually following a bad loss. He's really defensive about the Clippers - he just doesn't want to see negativity on his timeline, especially given how bad the Clippers performed under the evil hands of Donald Sterling. But without criticism and tough love, there can't be any silver linings. There must be a balance between the good and the bad, and for a person to de-follow me just because of one negative tweet gives me the inclination that he's trying to protect his reputation.

I invite Chris to read this post, and I extend an offer for a one-last-chance follow. If I fail, I'll give him special rules. All will be disclosed via Twitter DM (if he can give me the chance).

Interesting. He's been critical of the team himself.

Crowder is a guy I have wanted us to target since he landed in Boston. I think he would be a great addition at SF off the bench. High energy, defensive wing.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.
