Very interesting coincidence.

Funny, and quite possibly a little sad.

Wasn't it blatantly obvious that Antawn was signing 1-year vet-minimum deals with "contenders" in order to get a ring?

Yeah and I feel bad for him. He put up with a lot during the post-LeBron Cleveland years, and I thought he was pretty mature about it. That's really too bad for him.

I never feel bad for ring chasers.

Shouldn't every player be a ring chaser? If you aren't a superstar, you are going to be a nomad. "ring chasers" are just the ones that pick good teams instead of going for the most cash.

I agree but the Clippers were never in the position to win it all. They are a 2nd round and done-team.

That's why I put the word contenders in quotes. :roll:

Hahahahaha THERE GOES YOUR RING

Wait, the Clips aren't winning it anyway.

The Quest for the Ring. Will Antawn be in Miami, OKC, or Indiana next year? We'll find out.

My bets on none of the above, retired. He's almost 38 and he hit his 20,000 thou - and I don't know if one of those teams would want him.

Relax. I never meant to correct you or anything. So no need for the " :roll:

I never feel bad for washed up aging athletes who should retire or have nothing to contribute, signing with superstar teams.
