Probably like a flaccid piece of jerky from all the chafing, blood loss, and nerve compression.

Can we finally dispense with the fiction that Doc is some sort of basketball genius? Yes, he won a title with 3.25 hall of famers, and yes, he handled the Sterling departure situation very well, but the dude is a dingus.

Keep Austin? Weird.

Celebrities, they’re just like us.

Keep Austin Weird At All Costs

I’m really hoping this move puts the Clippers back into their rightful place...sucking the Lakers ass. That Chris Paul to Clippers deal that Stern orchestrated after sinking the Paul to Lakers deal put us in Bizarro world with the Clippers ahead of the Lakers, and I’d say likely led to Trump’s victory. It’s just…

Well, there goes the Clippers’ Rockets’ run of being somewhat slightly kind of sort of but ultimately not really relevant.

They also got a mid to late 1st round pick. I think this is a good trade for the Clippers, who were going nowhere fast. Now they’re going nowhere faster!

Especially if you start with the assumptions that 1) They were losing Chris no matter what; and 2) They’re not going to compete with the Warriors no matter what.

Paul put the Clippers in the “legitimate” contender category - like if the best player on the 2-3 true contenders got hurt (ex: KD, LeBron, and Kawhi all go down), then the “legitimate” contender would actually have a good chance of winning the title. That is a category you can’t stay in for more then two years…

There goes the Blazers’ chances of knocking off a higher seed in the first round.

They might end up being a totally generic basketball team; probably not back to the nadir of the pre-Paul years, but definitely not a “maybe they can be a contender if you squint really hard and also if they hire Jeff Gillooly as a team ambassador” squad.

We’ll always have the Great Emoji War of 2015.

Harden had the best year of his career as a PG last year. Paul plays at a glacial pace. This seems like one of those things that looks good on paper but will be underwhelming.

This will either be a fun pairing or a total disaster

Derek Rose blew out his third knee just reading this comment.

Make Basketball Great Again!

I member..

Isn’t nostalgia what everybody is selling these days?
