    He's right. Doc Rivers is dumb enough to give Pat an extension. Also, since Ballmer was willing to squander Microsoft's cash, why wouldn't he squander his own for a middle-of-the-road team? Microsoft's stock closed up 7% the day he announced his retirement.

    Pat got an extension?

    He's going to struggle and show once again that he's not starting PG material without Harden and MDA's system. He's going to have a hard time trying to put up 12 points and dishing 4 assists.

    Man we really gonna **** on Pat Bev. Come on now. It's not like this isn't behavior you expect from Bev. He'll go to war for his team and his teammates. If it isn't us, it's for someone else.

    This is odd. He's liquidating everything. Chris Paul comes and now he wants to sell just before the best shot at a chip in decades?

    Doesn't make sense.

    I agree. He may not have been the best owner of a franchise but he wasn't the worst. Thank you Les for everything. If you can just get us that third star for a championship before you walk out that door.

    Is this true, regarding the lease being in effect until 2033?

    Probably mentioned before, but I wonder what this means for the Carmelo Anthony negotiations with the Knicks. On the one hand, prospective owners may hedge at having too many guaranteed contracts, but on the other hand, having a Big Three in place could make the team seem more attractive.

    I hope this doesn't effect Paul getting a 5 year offer from us.

    surprised he doesn't just take a leave of absence from the job and make tad the interim owner to see if he really likes not being around the team once the seasons starts
