    I'm actually glad about this. I was afraid Boston was looking to pair him with George. If Utah or Miami picks up Hayward we might get what we were after.

    So in the end, they give him the 5-year max. Good for him.

    So they're paying him almost $35 million for 60 games a year? Nice

    Not surprising...I think Miami was the only true contender, but a big underdog still. Wonder who Miami goes after now.

    He finally has someone to protect him against the Jason Smith's, Trevor Booker's, JJ Barea's, and Zach Randolph's of the NBA that try to bully him.

    Blake was never leaving Hollywood. I'm sure he loves playing basketball, but this dude wants to be an entertainer/actor. He's in the best place for that.

    Kinda wanted Blake to end up in OKC, but definitely Miami or Denver. Of well, maybe the Clippers trade him later.

    WOOT. IT HAS STARTED.

    JERRY WEST is going to get rid of that bum DeAndre Jordan and make the Clips a real contender

    The Clippers are so pathetic, but they had to do this.

    They didn't, they should have let him walk. Enjoy the cap space, enjoy the lottery, and start the rebuild.

    I guess they are confident that Blake can be built around and attract FAs, I just don't see it happening though.

    Bad for Clipps.

    He's no franchise cornerstone... he may not even play till the December due to his recent major injury.

    Dumb and desperate toenail Clippers.
