    Maybe played his last game for LAC. Also helps the Warriors, cause now they most probably will face the Clippers without Griffin or the Jazz without Gobert.

    Not sure we want to offer this guy max dollars this summer even if we can move Ryan Anderson. He would be the perfect player for our system but he just isn't durable.

    This rest thing in the NBA is really out of hand. Thanks, Popovich.

    There is a chance Gobert returns by the 2nd round so there is hope the Warriors will be tested.

    Injury prone stars. Odds were one of them was gonna miss time.

    Good luck building on a shaky foundation going forward.

    Welp gotta root for Jazz and hope for a Gobert return. If not Warriors basically get a free pass to WCF

    Clips are 11-10 without Blake this year

    Clips are infamous for their 2nd round exits.

    Seems like they'll never play a 100% healty team.

    Yeah same here, i'm not a fan of Ryan and i was a fan of Blake here ala Stoudamire, but at this point i'd say no, too many injuries, his athleticism already went down, still kinda soft as a player and he would cost a lot of money so...i'd keep Ryan over him at this point. And again, i'm not even a fan of Ryan as a player.

    Huge dilemma for the Clips. On the one hand, it would be a gigantic risk to throw max money towards a 28-year old who missed 68 regular season games and both postseasons the last two years. On the other hand, they won't find a better player in free agency or trade.

    That's it, I'm done with the Clippers. They are pretty much the Rockets from the TMac -Yao era. But their "so call" dynasty is over.

    wtf.. I thought I read some hours ago that it wasn't serious and nothing broken. Now he's out for the rest of the Pos?
    He get injured 2 out of 3 years. He will get the max and it will go on downhill from here on.

    Quite interesting bunch of drama on a lot of teams concerning keeping their star players.

    Clippers could loose Griffin which spins into Paul leaving as well. PGeorge about to get swept, might force a trade. CAnthony going to be traded. If Raps loose first round Lowry/Ibaka could leave. If Jazz loose first round Hayward/Hill could dip. If Boston comes back and eliminates Bulls Butler/Wade could be out. If Hawks loose first round Milsap could be out. Pistons might implode and sell of Drummond, Jackson is definitely gone.

    Could be a good off season for the Rockets which so much star turmoil.

    Clippers are done.

    Chris Paul and Paul George are sick of their teammates not showing up and/or dying. They both come to Houston for cheap. Ibaka loses by 60 in game 4 and immediately books it to Houston to play for free. Why can't real life be like NBA 2K?

    Most of them if they get paid will stay (Griffin, Paul, Hill, Milsap, Lowry, Ibaka) imo. Like who is going to give a 30+ y.o Wade, Millsap and Lowry max?
    Hayward and PG are the only ones who might leave/force a trade.
    Butler has said he wants to stay in Chicago and not get traded. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/the-three-alphas-all-sound-like-they-want-a-year-2-with-bulls/
