PG - Bledsoe/Price
SG - PJ/Goodwin/Booker
SF - George/Weems
PF - Fillers
C - Chandler/Len

Really good defensive team we got there.

Heard Fillers are exceptional defenders.

Doesn't seem to actually mean anything to me. Anyone know this guy's reputation?

General perception is that Kieff may be next. Not exactly going out on a limb with that tweet.

PJ is not a 2. A shooting guard must be able to shoot-- and not from just two spots on the court, lol.

Or a 4 for that matter. I've been saying this all along. He's also way too slow in transition for a wing

Yeah, no love lost there, but seriously, that was pretty low what Jordan did. He completely screwed over Dallas. Why couldn't Aldridge have done the same to San Antonio?

Gorilla Warfare · Post #1408 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Thu Jul 9, 2015 6:04 pm

What Jordan did was wrong, but I agree with you. Screw the Mavs. It also seems like all of this was intentional by the Clippers organization to screw over a western conference team.

Wow ... maybe Len and Chandler can play on the floor at the same time

Silver should retroactively annul the CP3 trade and ship him back to NOLA as a suitable punishment

NOOO oh my god, Chris Paul + Anthony Davis would be insanely unstoppable and probably better than Chris Paul + Blake Griffin + DeAndre Jordan

I have a soft spot for the Pels. That would be a joy to watch

Kyler has never broke a story. He tweets his opinions. I stop following him after awhile seeing all his opinion related tweets.

Also as stated above, he is just stating the obvious. Nothing groundbreaking in that tweet.

This new thing where Alex Len is draining threes is kind of awesome. Not that I want to turn him into Frye but the fact that he's added that weapon to his arsenal is kind of amazing. He has the potential to be a true inside-outside threat.

NTB · Post #1415 » by **NTB** » Thu Jul 9, 2015 6:30 pm

Some of us including me wanted to Len shoot mid range shots. Now we will see 3pt shots lol.

It's nice the coach specifically addressed that he has been working on his post game alot

pj will play more 4 than 2 but overall I think fans and media are too hung up on defining positions. The NBA is becoming more a positionalless game. The pg sg sf pf, c labels are antiquated. Now it's really ball handler, wings, bigs. And even the big and wing spots are blurred. Even the teams who start traditional bigs end up playing small for stretches every game. Teams are loading up on those 6 8 athletes who can switch every pick and roll and run the floor and shoot 3s.

This is unbelievable . We have too many stretch 4 and now we train Len to shoot 3pt shots? :crazy:

We need toughness and hustling at 5 and now we have Chandler. I think that the Alex-tourist-Len must learn from Tyson the job of the "Big Man" .

In other news , we need need another guy (back up center) and a good starting PF to replace Markieef(half Morris).

Hmmm ... Goodwin and Booker are gonna have to earn their playing time. Sounds like Weems really wants to play in the NBA by leaving $9m on table.

Booker is about 0% to be useful in his first year, Weems or no, at least until the ASB when he's put some work in. An 18 year old dude who racked up no stls/blks/rebounds at the college level is not going to be ready for the physicality or speed of the NBA in year one, not to mention it's likely to take him time to get his shot ready for the longer line + NBA caliber closeouts.
