    Dude has been shooting 25% from the field for weeks.

    Even at his best, Shumpert was a bench player. A slight Ennis upgrade. You guys are fooling yourselves If you think he is more. Against GSW when he was with the Cavs he barely played. He is a 15-18 minute guy.

    Seems like Markieff is our guy eventually...Lopez to the Warriors, Gortat and Kanter will probably join other teams and i don't really think we need them much since we didn't move Nene, i mean, they would be good for insurance but...

    Yes, vet minimum is about $270,000 for the remainder of the season. So we have room for about two guys and then enough to convert House

    I think it'll be Frank Kaminsky and Markieff (if he is bought out) i don't think we are out of the running for Wayne Ellington

    I thought about that too but they have Noel to back up Adams and Patterson which plays the center a bit...

    I hope we really don't waste a spot for Kam, dude couldn't even come out of the bench for the Hornets...and we Hartenstein anyway.

    Really? I thought the full contracts counted towards the cap but we just paid the prorated salary.

    I’m been telling people other wise, whoops.

    His list is bad.

    Matthews already gone
    Ariza isn't getting bought out
    DJ isn't getting bought out

    Spolane is also laughing at people who say the Rockets will be under the LT

    If they sign for the league minimum we get a credit from the NBA for a portion as well, so the full thing doesn't hit

    Would be a nice gift! Hey, if the Clippers want to miss the playoffs to KEEP their FRP, they should do it!
