sheridanhoops Chris Sheridan
Bad for everyone because CP3 did not get his first 2 choices & Clips yielded on E.Gordon. Both NOLA and LAC not playoff worthy.

Sheridan is crazy if he doesn't think the Clippers will make the playoffs...

CP3/Griffin is going to be devastating

Dwight wants to play for a team that set an NBA RECORD in most loses in a season a year ago, and the CP3 jumped ship to join a Clippers team that is forever a joke... It's not about basketball, it's about being a celebrity in a big city. smh.

Lockout got settled. Trade produced two lottery teams. CP3 did not get wish. Silver lining is E.Gordon, which I mention in upcoming video.

If otis took that deal and the only thing they did was reject it then they deserve what they get. He should have been fired on the spot.

if we were to do this then yeah but nooooooo making them the future.

Having both would not help us. Gasol could be shipped to GSW for Monta and a couple other players.

It does... people aren't thinking it through, I don't think. In my eyes it takes away a lot of Dwight's leverage.

I'm posting this one more time. I'm trying to see if I'm right, really. I've tried to discuss this three times and no one responds. If we keep him til summer, Dwight will have to stay at least one more year unless he is willing to walk away from a longer contract, and more importantly he's willing to accept a 4.5% annual raise than 7.5% annual raise... here's what I've been posting...

I'm thinking more and more that they just need to keep him and force his hand. If he can walk away from 7.5% annual raise, and longer contracts and go to another team, then so be it.

The new CBA changed things. There's now a deadline that he has to be traded to transfer his Bird rights elsewhere. It's not like next summer he can bluff and say I'm signing with this other team, you might as well get what you can and help me get my money. He has to pull that act much earlier, I don't know the exactly, but I've seen January 1st a lot.

And you wonder that at that point, if he still is thinking of leaving, that he'll have incentive to opt in his final year, in order to still be able to be traded and keep his bird rights, giving the Magic one more year to make something happen and with more ammo because then we'll have at ton of expirings that we can trade that year. We'd have a crap load of capspace that following summer if it wasn't for Hedo's contract... **** Otis.

CP3 tried to leverage trade to NY or Lakers. He got neither. He lost. CP3-Blake will make for some nice highlights, y nada mas.

Why on earth would anyone want Monta Ellis with Dwight gone? He's a 6'2 26 year old who had the worst TS% of the leading scorers in the league....
