Finally.

Those were 5 painful years.

SVG, Drummond, RJ all gone now. The end of an era.

Never thought I’d be happy with a tanking pistons or that it would ever happen. Convert Jordan bone to regular contract and then add a new guy on a two way contract for the rest of the season

No more 2-way contracts can be given out after a certain date in mid-January.

I'd sign Donta Hall to a 10-day contract as a reward of sorts - give him a taste and NBA roster pay "bonus" but then use open space the ROS to scout other unsigned G-League talent. Hall is just another tall-skinny, and we have enough those bigs right now

Gives me somebody to root for in the playoffs.

Reggie's tenure was ultimately injury plagued, but he was genuinely good in 2016. His clutch performances probably got us into the playoffs. He's capable of making some big shots for the Clippers, even if he's not really explosive anymore. I hope he does well.

The failed experiment brought about by Brandon Jennings' achilles injury has finally ended. I'll consider this period the Lost Years.

The most underrated aspect to this is that we no longer have to see #1 worn and represented by a fraud. No one should have been allowed to wear that number after Chauncey especially after it was retired. Even stanley changed his number out of respect to ben.

ouch. it really is terrible how everything ended so suddenly for Jennings though. he was playing the best ball of his life when he went down, and it was truly awesome to watch the form a f**king wall “era”. i’ve seen videos of him working out with nba guys in the summer, but i haven’t heard of him playing for anyone really.

RJ has gotten a bad rap. He's actually been a good soldier for multiple coaches and did whatever they asked. He was never any trouble on or off the court for us.

His biggest flaw was that SVG thought he was a star and opened the vault for him.

We did get killed at PG with injuries over the last several years. I think the RJ signing was ok, but he was never the same after getting hurt. But time to move on.

Did anyone catch Jackson and Drummond last night. Cancers and losers.
