    And people are wondering why LBJ isn’t still worth $53 million per?
    He looked cooked last night on d.
    He still doesn’t even try to get back on d when the other squad breaks and now he’s doing the “stand in or next to the paint and guard no one” matador defense.
    We need to make significant defensive improvements to remedy this. I guess inserting Smart in the starting unit can help but his shot is so unreliable.
    I sure hope it doesn’t take another couple of blowouts by the top tier squads for Rob to do something.

    Chauncey Billups pleads not guilty in alleged gambling scheme
    Chauncey Billups pleaded not guilty Monday to two federal charges in his first appearance in federal court. Billups was arraigned at a Brooklyn courthouse after he was arrested last month as one of 31 defendants in a wide-reaching indictment that alleged he was part of a rigged poker game scheme back

    next hearing in the case is scheduled for March 4, 2026. The prosecutor's office is preparing to transfer 1 terabyte of investigation materials to the defense.:swear:


    Next .Rozier will be playing at some all star game competitions ?
    Really

    The oldest team in the history of the league. "They are going to do so well", people said.

    since the clippers' sole goal is to beat us, they're just trying to acquire derozan, who morphs into prime mj when he sees us.

    i think the clips endgame with these signings is to finish as high in the standings as possible the next two seasons so that OKC doesn't end up in the lottery from the picks they traded to them. they know they're not doing anything in the playoffs (if they make it) with this retirement home lineup

    derozan fits in because his contract is up after 26-27, which is also when kawhi and harden come off the books

    I’m hoping the clippers make the playoffs. God knows we don’t want to give OKC another top 5 pick.

    @ShamsCharania
    The Lakers are waiving center Christian Koloko to create roster space for Timme, sources said.
    Timme vs Zubac is going to be interesting

    Rather wild that Derozan and Harden, are both older, and significantly more reliable health wise, than both Beal and the Hyena.

    zero progress from koloko in the time he’s been here; guessing timme was getting bites elsewhere.

    I like both guys for obviously very different reasons.
