    I think what this d***head is trying to say about the Clippers is how great it is that Ballmer is greasing the palms of ESPN sports journalists to spread a false narrative and how proud Jerry West and Doc Rivers are to work for a man who is willing to lie about a team that is adored by the fans of LA more than his own team. Honestly, I have always loved Jerry West, he is single handedly the person who made me become a fan of the NBA and the Lakers. But, I have to say, he got into it with Jeannie about who she had the right to have a relationship with and I will tell anyone that when you do that, you are risking any relationship with that person in the future. Jerry was a wound up tight a** and hated having Phil Jackson around and got into a power struggle and used Jeannie as a talking point about what he did not like about the Buss family owning this team. I don't really give a krap about what he thinks in this regard. He burned the bridge and rather than come out and say this, Jeannie has taken the high road and never said anything negative about Jerry. But you always hear it the other way. After nearly 60 years of being a fan of his, it's about time I say it, screw you Mr. West. You endorse a complete a**hat over the Lakers ownership. You know what he is doing is wrong and is about the most disrespectful position you could support. How can you be so down on Jeannie yet support Ballmer? Which behavior is more reprehensible? I am done with you Mr. West! You are officially a has been.

    I love how this overweight little journalist can say Lebron will ruin his legacy by playing with Kawhi. What a bunch of BS!! Did Kareem ruin his legacy by playing with Magic? Heck, Kareem played with Magic, Worthy, Scott, McAdoo, Thompson, etc. The position of these talking parrots is laughable. I pray we land Kawhi and can just smash them all to death.

    Didn’t watch the video but here we go with the GM ball-washing again. They’re trying to give the Clippers the Danny Ainge treatment by over-congratulating the Clippers front office for a signing that might not even sign? That’s the most elaboate move in NBA history? Moe ****ing Harkless!? How about netting LBJ and Anthony Davis in 2 consecutive seasons?

    Moreover, doesn’t this whole Kawhi-standoff perfectly paint the picture that the power of movement is almost solely in the players hands? Ballmer, West, Frank and Winger (had to look up his name) are just praying Kawhi blesses them. As are we. I love basketball coverage, I listen to these reporters’ podcasts & read their articles. But the narrative is getting out of hand here.

    I guess i should just do it anyway.
    Well this AppleInsider22 guy claims that Yes, Kawhi picked Lakers although in a 2+1 contract. It makes sense so that he can sign a super max. He also told the lakers reddit that Kawhi doctors are already in place, and Kawhi is also taking a discount for 2.6mil vet min. Bron and AD pitched to Kawhi that indeed he will be “the man” on Lakers, and Bron said sees himself to be a Scottie 20/6/6 defender guy. If you want more you can look it up, there is also a claim of a direct quote from Kawhi that states he only want his jersey on the rafters he don’t give a damn about FMVP’s

    Everyone except Jacoby on Get Up saying Kawhi should go to Clippers or Toronto. ESPN Laker hate is kicking into high gear.

    Bron can do 20/6/6 when he is 40 years old. Minus the D.

    Y'all see this on Kanter's decision? Six minutes to decide your next season? Can't call anyone? This isn't Shark Tank. Guess that's one way to operate free agency.

    This wait is gonna drive me crazy.
    Klutch players are still awfully quiet. I think it’s wishful thinking they are waiting for Kawhi to sign then sign for min contracts, prob waiting to see if he doesn’t sign we go after morris twins etc. I’m sure a couple Klutch people will sign for min.

    Still worried about depth. The big 3 will have to come out during the game sometime and if they are surrounded by g-league and vet min players , I can see a frustration happening similar to lebron last year with some of the younger guys.

    Here’s what the Reddit AppleInsider guy is saying. Once Kawhi commits, we’ll know if he’s full of s***.


    Cousins 1 year 3.5 Million

    Shumpert 2 year 3.6 million, team option

    Kyle O’Quinn 1 year 2.3 million

    I’ve heard all of these have been agreed to and will quickly follow

    Also Kyle O'Quinn signed with NY already. :D

    So he's done. Whoever vouched for that guy should be reddit banned.

    Man the Clippers are so damn classy, what a gesture, never seen anything like it. [​IMG] Balmer get to you too, Shams, I can’t recall a team ever getting glowing praise for whatever they do. “Clippers acquire Mo Harkless, a starting caliber forward! Ooh, ahh”.
