Kobe played great for the Pacers after we traded him and and we need some more power forward depth. So I think we should try and get Kobe brown back since he’s an unrestricted free agent right now. We never gave him a lot of run while he was on our team then when he goes to a new team and gets more run he shows how good he is. We’re a younger retooling team now and not a veteran heavy team like before so this so this is the perfect type of team for Kobe to be own to showcase his talents. I’ve been a believer in Kobe brown for a long time and I think this could be a great move.

following the tradition of egregiously overreacting to summer league debuts, it looks like we made the right choice 😬

can someone explain why we’re waiting till July 6 to announce the trade and how is that holding us back from making moves?

My idea was we make an offer to sign Watson to a massive offer sheet that Denver financially cannot match without shedding salary. And then Denver desperate to keep him pays us to take Christian Braun negative-value contract (5 years, $125M) or CJ off their books.

We need two out of the 3 if we really wanna be competitive this year.

I am so locked in and excited for our next season. I don't know if any of our new guys will be great out of the gate. So, I am hoping we break .500 but winning 35 games will be okay with me. Hell, it took Giannis 5 years to become Giannis.

After doing some light research, it seems that in the past 5 years the Clippers training camp has shown to be the best at increasing our players 3 point percentages.

For all the talent that our guys have, it needs our training camp to ensure they develop into the nba efficiently.

Ty lue may not be the best coach ever but he has shown to improve every player that has touched our team.

I am trying to start off as positive as possible.

Rui Hachimura, Kuminga are still available right. I'm not sure if we're low ballin Mathurin and he will not sign.

Just wondering

Dude looks good. I can't think of any comparisons but in have the Martin theme song in my head.

What's up what's up what's up.

Let’s go back to the summer of 2003. The young Clippers were a team on the rise, with a pair of stud forwards in Elton Brand and Lamar Odom, both of whom were RFAs that summer. The question on everyone’s minds: Would Donald Sterling finally pay up?

Enter the Miami Heat. Pat Riley seemed to really want Brand, signing him to a max deal. The Clippers were on the clock.

The Clippers gave up a lot to get Brand and didn’t want him to get away for nothing. The new CBA had a minimum salary requirement, which meant Sterling had to spend some money. Would he actually give a player a max contract, much less two players? He had already promised to take care of Odom.

Ultimately, Sterling agreed to match Miami’s offer. This was an unprecedented move for the Clippers under his ownership. All that was left was signing Odom. Odom was Sterling’s favorite and some thought Odom might be willing to take a team-friendly deal.

Instead, the Heat signed him to the exact same max deal they offered Brand. And Sterling didn’t match. According to some, Odom begged the Clippers not to match, either because he felt slighted or didn’t want to continue playing for the organization. Others suggested he was Riley’s target all along.

Which is why I bring this up. I expect the Clippers to make a run at Watson. I think they’ll sign him to a big deal and put the pressure on the Nuggets to match. If they don’t, it’s a big win for the Clippers. If they do match, they’ll be forced to get rid of Cam Johnson.

And who would be first in line to acquire Johnson, perhaps with a trade exception they just picked up from Detroit?
