    This pretty much confirms LeBron will retire in two years. There’s no way he’d share a farewell tour with anyone else, he’ll want all the attention, Netflix cameras following his every move, standing ovations at every stop. He’s easily the most self-centered diva in sports.

    Being able to get Beal, CP3, and Lopez on bargain contracts helps, but yea, they’re loaded.

    Thinking it'd be 15 times more pressure & scrutiny on CP3 & LeBron's legacy if they didn't win a chip or advance far together, even at this age

    CP3 with Clips is like a mini nostalgia "welcome home" tour, while rolling the dice on being a little competitive. Basically if the Clips completely bomb next season, it'd wouldn't be the worst thing on any current player. Lot less to lose, more to gain

    Is that the team that lost to the "no star" Pistons in the finals?

    People are sleeping on this team. If Kawhi Leonard can stay healthy, look out. They’ve added so much talent and depth to the frontcourt and backcourt.

    I thought people underrated them last year, but at the same time they were just on the edge of being too old. It seems any team playing them in the post season this upcoming year could just run on offense and press on defense and wear them down over the series (except the Warriors I guess).

    Yup one of the most memorable and talked about teams in history. Also means they beat out every other team in the west

    Here is the thing about the Clippers as an older team
    They probably won't beat themselves
    meaning they will beat the teams they are suppose to beat
    which is about 10 teams in the East and 10 in th West
    Which is like
    20 games against the east
    30~40 game in the West
    If they win them at say an 66% Clip
    (60 games . ..they win 40) they already pretty much in the Play in

    Correct. He's washed and on fumes.

    He chose the Clippers for his farewell tour. Maybe people will start caring about this in the second half of the season.
