    Blake Griffin resigning with Clips. Why?

    And Paul George to OKC. Interesting.

    $$$$$ and more $$$$.

    And he doesn't have to put up with CP3 any longer.

    It really doesn't matter since Iggy just re-upped with the Dubs. Everybody playing for second for the next few years.



    I meant why the fuck did the Clippers do it.
    Because they are a shitty franchise, that's why.
    Ballmer.

    Presti has done fine given his constraints

    Not arguing to argue ... find me a material FA that has gone to OKC

    Nobody ever said anything about a free agent signing there. It will never happen unless they give the max to a borderline all star.
    Which means to me that they will eventually need a surplus of picks to get the kind of team/depth required to be relevant
    If Westbrook leaves they are completely fucked for years and will need to make multiple good draft picks. Then they will have to wait for those picks to develop. Water is wet.
    They did that. They had Westbrook, KD, The Beard, K-Mart, Ibaka, and Sefelosha. They all left but one.

    As the landscape sits now if you don't have a super team you are the farm league for one.

    Look at Gayward to Boston. The Jazz have a really good young team built up that were going to be a playoff team for years and he bolted because Boston was a step ahead.

    Trailblazers are a good example.

    But aren't the Trailblazers the best example?
