    yeah, but someone will still offer him a 4 year max this summer, injuries be damned. he should opt out and take the money, chandler parsons style.

    I have a feeling he ends up in Charlotte or something and no one ever really hears from him again.

    Clipper fan will have never even sniffed a WCF appearance let alone an NBA championship.

    i think those teams (and maybe the lakers, sorry folks) will make a play, forcing the clips to sign him at a higher price than they want (remember, rivers is gm). i think he stays with the clips, then is moved whenever paul breaks down.

    now, if paul bolts, forget everything i said. game changer.

    Just as long as it isn't us.

    Magic & Rob, do not be tempted by the Ginger Glass.

    if the lakers have the space, i think he'll get the offer, whether we (the fans) like it or not.

    He's Averaged 54 games the last 3 seasons and gone down in the playoffs each of the last 2 years. Injured every year the last 3 years (twice a couple of them). I don't see how this fits in with us unless the plan is to continue to buy time for our youth to grow and Moz and Deng to go away. Randle and Nance don't develop if he does play in which case we trade them and have no backup for the injury-plagued Griffin. Then what? also go after CP3? ugh I don't want to be Clippers 2.0

    i don't know. i just think he's a big name, and by all accounts the team still wants one of those pretty desperately. and he'd come for free instead of via trade.

    i'm not saying i want him. i dislike his on-court persona, and his injuries are clearly a problem that will continue. but he's the most gettable of the stars this summer, i think.

    They did. This season he hid it in the Warriors ceiling since he knew they would be their second round opponent.
