damn imagine having ranchero wrecking havoc inside and midrange and then secksy suggs mad facilitating and klay shooting bricks from the arc

 

Klay on the Magic is such a great match. I wonder how much he'll get?

 

Suns Intend To Keep Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal

The Phoenix Suns' disappointing first round performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves has led to some speculation that they may have to break up their superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in order to field a more balanced roster.

"Do people in the league say that?" said Brian Windhorst on The Rich Eisen Show. "Yes, they do. I talk to multiple people who think that's what they're going to have to do that. Do the Suns say that? No, they do not.

"I think the Suns' intention is to keep all three of these star players. Tweak the roster, tweak some of their systems and processes and try to be better next year."

Windhorst also stressed how Durant spoke about how the Suns could benefit from continuity.

The Suns have also yet to publicly decide the future of Frank Vogel as head coach.

 

and Steve Francis dunking from the free throw line...

 

While I can't read his mind, I doubt PG had much interest in leaving LA. Sixers probably concluded they were just leverage for PG against the Clippers.

 

Another Presti masterclass

 

Morey finally learning from his past mistakes of being used.

 

if the Pistons actually try and sign Tobias Harris of all people, the league has gotta step in because this is just getting sad atp

 

I think PG's mother is ill & lives in Cali. Doubtful he leaves the West Coast

 

PG wants to be paid like a max player, but doesn’t want any of the responsibilities of being a max guy

funny how PG was significantly worse than Harden in this year’s playoffs and is still the worse player in general by being the same age, but could get max money while Harden will get nowhere close

 

Paul George Likely To Opt In And Request Trade If Changing Teams

Speaking on ESPN's Get Up, NBA insider Brian Windhorst said Paul George and the LA Clippers could be headed for a breakup. The Clippers haven't budged off their offer to George, and the All-Star wing doesn't seem inclined to accept it.

Windhorst said that the focus shouldn't just be on cap space teams for George as a free agent. Instead, he said it's more likely that George will opt in and request a trade, if he's changing teams this offseason. That would increase the pool of teams that could acquire the veteran wing, beyond just the handful of cap space teams this summer.

The Clippers also reportedly don't believe that George wants to leave Los Angeles. They are believed to have offered a similar deal to the three-year, below-max extension that Kawhi Leonard signed with the team during last season.

 

Clippers need to blow up the team
George doesn't have the heart . . . he is a #2 maybe #3 guy
Kwahi is too injury prone and unreliable
Harden is past his prime and cannot do what he use to
Westbrook is too unpredictable

Too much money tied up in those players

Rocket River

 

The Clippers should blow it up but with the new arena opening I think they run it back at least this year. I am not sure they will run it back anytime soon because they have no picks until the 22nd century.
