yup. Tank this year, and get to signing free agents next year (and in 2015). This should be our last "tank"/"developing young talent" year. I'm not saying we make the playoffs the year after the 2014 draft, but we will seriously give 100% effort to get there (that effort comes mostly from Rob's acquisitions and JV's gameplans).

I'm going to purposely have Fran get stuffed every chance I get and I'm going to constantly make him fall into the stands.

That's how I'm going to take out my anger against him.

Damn, it must be the first offseason in like 7 years when we don't wait for Fran to arrive

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 5m

Pacers have agreed to rescind Tyler Hansbrough's qualifying offer, I'm told, which immediately makes him unrestricted free agent

Now rumors saying the Clippers want to trade Crawford and Butler and keep EB, i think for the Mayo deal. I guess that's why they seemed so anxious to get an upgrade at 2 because the next move was dealing Crawford.

JJ to Clips also called longshot. Saw this on their board.

Is it summer league time yet? ready!!!!!

Are you guys still sure about Bledsoe? Look at the contracts being given out.

Post #1074 » by **Bensational** » Tue Jul 2, 2013 8:06 pm

yeah, pass on Bledsoe. hook me up with a trade for CJ and his 4 year rookie deal value.

rcklsscognition · Post #1075 » by **rcklsscognition** » Tue Jul 2, 2013 8:12 pm

The contracts thus far have all been ridiculous.

Blue_and_Whte · Post #1076 » by **Blue_and_Whte** » Tue Jul 2, 2013 8:17 pm

Im pretty much over Bledsoe to. I think the Clips are overvaluing him.

Post #1077 » by **Def Swami** » Tue Jul 2, 2013 8:25 pm

Clippers can keep Bled. It's the VO Show at point guard now.

Yup. Saw Splitter got $9 mil per after his awful Finals performance. Guess that means Vuc the Heat Killer will be in line for what...$20 mil per or so?

$9 mill per for Splitter?? :dontknow:
