Clippers get fined $50k for doc's comment about Kawhi leading into Free Agency... An not one **** was given by anyone...

First, this seemed very planned. Doc isn't Magic... He doesn't usually do stuff like this. It seemed like Balmer said, "****, I'll pay the fine" and told him to go ahead and say nice things about Kawhi. He was just waiting for the right question or asked the reporter to ask it.
Magic is a buffoon, but if the Clips know the consequences and do it anyway, you would think the league would have to have a different scale for something like that.

Also, the Lakers do it, and it's front page news for weeks... The Clippers do it, crickets... Maybe I'll start calling them the Crickets...

Not bitter, just glad to have the confirmation that the Lakers are still the biggest show in town...

That’s my take-away, too. We’re still the king of the hill even after sucking for almost a fecade.

Oops, but speaking of, Ballmer is surely gonna get into all kinds of small minded semi-rule-breaking **** like this thinking he’s being smart getting an advantage. I think what you posted is exactly what happened.

Agents and everyone else in the league will get tired of him soon.

Ballmer is living proof that money can’t buy class.

Kyrie leaving Boston's brings us one step closer to AD to the Lakers

Ballmer aka "Mr. Condor" needs to sail the Clippers to Seattle and rename it "the Supersonics"!!! KD will absolutely sign there and become full-circle... Hopefully West is whispering into his ears and that ball head of his. Good for the NBA, good for LA, good for Mr. Condor, great for Seattle... Mr. Condor becomes god like figure in Seattle and Dr. Evil to the rest of the NBA...

So what's really going on with KD? Achilles for real?

If he's got a serious injury, he may end up having to stay another season in GS, a'la Boogie... Which changes the Free Agent market quite a bit.

He’s just now hitting the front end of a 4-6 week recovery time of a grade 2 calf strain, so no reason yet to think it’s anything more than originally stated yet.

Let’s sign PJ Tucker on the cheap if possible.

PP has a really unique approach of getting people to talk about him...

I gotta admit I'm getting a good kick out of watching Warrior fans cry about injuries on the gb. Bunch of spoiled brats.

I used to respect Paul Pierce. Then the wheel chair.

Where the stars will go ...

1) KD to knicks
2) Kyrie to Nets OR Knicks
3) KL to either Lakers OR clippers
4) Klay will receive max with GSW because they'll lose KD and they'll need him their
5) A.Davis Lakers
6) Butler Lakers

IMO only ... Sheet who am I missing?

one thing for sure is I really hope it's more spread out ... But would love to see a Lakers/Knicks NBA finals, Bron vs KD

I am torn....a GSW dynasty disintegrating with Kawhi winning a championship for the raptors....which reduces Lakers chances getting him in free agency lolz...

Post #1258 » by **Kilroy** » Sat Jun 8, 2019 4:32 am

Raps got their foot on that throat... Time for KD to come back and be the big hero... Scripted.

I watched a lot of the game tonight and I just tripped out on how mediocre both teams look... GS looks like a shell of themselves, and are getting beat by Kawhi and a bunch of journeymen...
OK... Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but it just didn't seem like either team was playing like a champion...

IDK, of course I could see him stay... Anything can happen, but it just seems like if he was keen on LA before going to Toronto, it might take a little more than a successful season to convince him to stay.

I like rooting for the underdog who hasn't been their before... So go Raps... I hope Kawhi still wants to leave...
Robot-boy may just not give a ****.

kwahi is doing Kobe type stuff. Curry almost scored 50 last game, he wasn't going to be able to duplicate that. The addition of klay is meh.... As you can see
