    Barkley is going to ROAST Paul on TNT.

    "This is turrible! Don't do it Chris! Le$ will never give you that money he owe you!"

    I can see the DD threads now. We'll spend half a billion on the team over the next few years and DD will call Le$ cheap for not extending Chinanu Oanuaku.

    Is this for the CP3 deal? Or is it something else in the works?

    Plaschke sounds like a salty turd. Clippers had PLENTY of time to build around Paul, and have failed every single season, to reach the conference finals. And Plaschke is convinced that trading away DJ and letting Blake walk was a good idea? Who could they have brought in?

    By the time chemistry is established, Paul will have aged. And then you're just a great PG with lots of shooters, and probably no frontcourt depth.

    Salty.

    Why did we need to trade 8 guys to a team that was losing its free agent anyways?

    I think because we'd have had to also somehow deal Ryan Anderson to sign him as a UFA, not sure if correct, I don't know the NBA Cap.

    I wonder how much the trade exception is for? Didn't know we would have a significant trade exception as well.

    Man, every time i turn around we include another player to this trade.

    I liked Wijlter, i would have loved to see him develop a bit further to see if he could really become a true sniper for us. Dekker and Harrel were ok.

    I think we always knew that Lou would not last lont here

    In the end Beverley is the only loss that truly hurts.

    We got ourselves over the cap BEFORE we traded him. Then we traded out less salary than we took in so that triggers a trade exception.

    How much money do you save from Kyle Witjer and Harrell? Don't they make the NBA minimum?

    I understand that, just wondering how much. I figured some small TE would come out of this, but not a significant one.
