    Unsurprising, I guess

    Wonder if we're going to pick up anybody at all on waivers/buyouts. Stone seems a little too complacent right now.

    Unless Brogdon becomes available, the market for buyouts looks shitty.

    Lol they have the other guys' weaknesses and lacking strength.

    Ben is a mental midget without a shot and KPJ can shoot some but is pretty out of control everywhere else.

    Go by height and skills only it'd be Ben.

    86M made?

    It was a buy out, and according to Charania he only gave back $1.1M. So his total is more like $110M (from the Nets).

    Honestly surprised he joined the Clippers. With the Klutch connection I figured it would either be Houston or LAL.

    The Clippers are just one Joel Embbied shy from becoming a championship team

    Honestly better this way. If he wanted to win he would have come here, the clippers aren't going anywhere. Rather have winners who work with Udoka than losers who run to easy life teams.

    I don't understand why his brain can't fix that
