Chris BroussardVerified account @Chris_BroussardKevin Durant & the Clippers met for 4 hrs Friday night & sources close to the situation say KD was "blown away" by the Clips' presentation
We haven't covered this but
CP-JJ-KD-BG-DJ
is every bit as scary as what the dubs would be putting together with him. wouldn't be able to pay for a single role player tho

or maybe we did cover it idk

wow the pelicans apparently declined a $2.3 million option on solomon hill at the beginning of the year and now signed him in FA for 4/48

Let me throw a name out there:
Michael Beasley
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:31 (seven years ago) link
max player imo
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:35 (seven years ago) link
i don't think the clips can keep jj and sign kd
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:35 (seven years ago) link
clippers def would be a team to beat with kd at the 3. theyve been looking for someone to fill that void for a long time. but yeah, depth would be a problem.

Two guys who might slip through that I like are Miles Plumlee and James Ennis
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:37 (seven years ago) link
the hawks line up is
schroeder-baze-korver-millsap-dwight?
im intrigued. do they get splitter back?
― J0rdan S., Friday, July 1, 2016 11:15 PM (8 minutes ago)
very intriguing lineup that will still get swept by the cavs, lol
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:40 (seven years ago) link
trying to understand the evan turner thing. is he gonna play the 3? or come of the bench? how does that even work

plumlee was so fun on the suns just a couple years ago for about two months. then lost all his confidence for whatever reason
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:43 (seven years ago) link
that hawks lineup isn't any better than what they've had for the past couple years. less shooting too.

thought i heard somewhere that the clips would have to get rid of redick for KD to work
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:43 (seven years ago) link
makes sense
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:45 (seven years ago) link
even if the clips fill out the roster with a bunch of scrubs, cp3 and kd and daj and griffin is a scary ass team and theres a real role as a dynamic scoring threat from the wing for KD there. i'd still rather him go to LAC than GS.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:48 (seven years ago) link
hmm think he shd go to boston
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:49 (seven years ago) link
i've said i want KD to go to the warriors for the drama and i would still love it, but actually i hope he signs with the clippers because chris paul needs a ring
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:50 (seven years ago) link
no, clippers are cursed, kd is cursed, that team wont win, itll just be scary bc of ghost stories
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:52 (seven years ago) link
i think its like 90% he's staying in OKC tho
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:52 (seven years ago) link
i have heard this number, too, where tf did it come from?

marc spears iirc xp

kd on clippers feels even more wrong than dubs somehow
― ciderpress, Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:57 (seven years ago) link
they would have 4 players making over 20 mill
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 03:59 (seven years ago) link
a whole team of evan turners crazy to think about
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:02 (seven years ago) link
the hawk's offense def got worse but if dwight can defend and most importantly rebound half of what he used to the team won't be any worse. the hawk's have been so bad at giving teams extra possessions bc they can't get a board. they were a good defense last year but this line up could potentially be a lot better. and plus we're only paying a 3 yr max instead of 5 for our big man so i'm not too mad
but damn i'm gonna miss horford. i can still remember exactly what i was doing when the hawks got the third pick in lotto (would've lost it if it was 4 or higher) and i knew we were getting him. he always brought it, even when playing under some of the shittiest coaches and for some really unlikeable teams. one of the most consistent players i've ever seen. it was a pleasure watching him go at it all the time. kinda hope he goes to the Cs even though i generally hate the Cs. that'll be a seriously tough defense with him out there.
― Heez, Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
im still agog at this solomon hill deal. like...he averaged 4 and 3 last year. played <15 mpg. career 33% from 3. 4 year/50 mil.
― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
yeah xp something like this too
Jonathan Tjarks @JonathanTjarks 52m52 minutes agoFeels like the Hawks didn't want to run the same team back after getting swept by the Cavs two straight years.

is this right?https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmVRP82UIAE3r2R.jpg
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:19 (seven years ago) link
yeah thats what i heard on the radio today
― k3vin k., Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:22 (seven years ago) link
it looks legit. if cap is ~$94 million, clips have $64 mil next year set aside for CP3, griff, and DAJ. and there are cap holds on roster sports as well. so theyd have a good 10 spots each commanding a cap hit of like lets say $500k. so ball park, 70 mil used up.

roster SPOTS obv
yeah he's not going to LA
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Saturday, 2 July 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link
maybe they talked about next year when CP and BG can opt out and they can all team up and take less
thats a lot of ppl taking major pay cuts.

i like the move. get a good solid vet/locker room guy to help build the culture w all the youngsters

― brimstead, Saturday, 2 July 2016 08:04 (seven years ago) link
luol deng 4/72 to the lake show - that's honestly a pretty solid signing

― 6 god none the richer (m bison), Saturday, 2 July 2016 14:01 (seven years ago) link
guess they felt like they needed a vet and the money didnt really matter on their timeline, prob better than starting ingram right off the bat tbh, tho they did throw away their chance of having 2x max space next summer
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 14:31 (seven years ago) link
it youre a subscriber to vet influence theory deng does seem like a super solid guy
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 14:34 (seven years ago) link
on the other hand the lakers (who are dum) prob just think deng is the player thatll get them back to contention

looking forward to the "durant meets with the spurs for 7 hours" and "according to sources kd is FLOORED by the celtics pitch" tweets before he announces hes resigning w okc for one year
― lag∞n, Saturday, 2 July 2016 14:38 (seven years ago) link
Zach Klein @ZachKleinWSBMultiple sources tell me Al Horford is not a fan of the Dwight Howard signing. Could play major role in decision to stay with Hawks
uh yeah duh they play the same position
