    Maybe Bev is right that Clippers are the best team.

    Idk , he seems to be getting more steam lately. Just maybe he has connections. Pretty sure even Matt Moore vouched for him.

    It's Capela's damn fault for bailing on the charity softball game.

    Only rumors are Swaggy P and Carmelo. We are in trouble, man. Rockets continue to get worst and GSW continues to get better. Geez

    The best we can offer if we don't use the tax payer MLE is to use the Non-Bird-Exception, which will be about 2.9M. Luc get 4.3M from Clippers, so it's not surprising that he walked away. It doesn't matter how big the contract Paul got, if Morey decides to reserve the MLE for other plyaers(probably Melo?), we can't offer more than 2.9M.

    Can’t wait for Tad Brown to suck his dick on stage talking about how we have a big 3 and that Melo is a HOFer.

    Sucks, still, Luc was basically a non factor in a playoff run where we were close to win it all so...we'll survive without him.

    People cried, moan, and b**** when we lost Howard who went back home to Atlanta. Said the Rockets would be 41-41? Could you explain to me what happen that season?

    And who vouched for Matt Moore?
    I personally think he doesnt' know what he's talking about most of the time.

    If melo comes, I want him taking the wide open shots that ariza took/passed up. We have penetrators in paul and harden.

    Defense is effort and I think he can have a harden-like impact if he dons the hoodie. We can make this work with a mid season acquisition/ryno trade.

    GO ROX!

    I wonder how many in this thread didn't even know who Luc was last Summer. Chances are it's the same group that probably thought the signing sucked too.

    Lol

    but the difference in 1.4 million is nothing when you are talking about playing for a top 3 team or a lottery team. He had to know we were tied on what we could offer and need to improve. He was looking at an important role and he bailed.
