NBA Off-season thread: Duncan and Garnett retire

[dartsndeacs]

Doc really is an idiot

haralabob has had the take that the Clips should trade Blake if for no other reason Doc is too dumb to know how to utilize his unique skillset

He won the ESPY for Sports Humanitarian of the Year.

This article is probably bigger in scope than the NBA thread, but here's a good profile of Paul after winning that award.

Wow, good article, thanks for posting. I knew about Chris' foundation, but had no idea he was involved in so may causes. Good for him. Making WFU proud.

There's no chance in hell Doc gets full value on a Blake trade, although a Blake trade is their only hope to get better. Tough spot.

After googling the only piece that's been mentioned so far as a centerpiece return for the Clips is Rudy Gay??? ffs

And a Boston pick or two, no?

It wouldn't just be Rudy Gay of course, but they need a deal that makes them better in 2016 . Boston has a bunch of dudes that could fill the awful Clips bench, and I'd rather have Jae Crowder straight up than Rudy Gay. Why would they even want Rudy Gay? He's like a slightly better Jeff Green.

Can they trade CP3 instead?

CP3 is really good friends with Rudy, there have been rumors since his hornets days about them teaming up

If I'm a GM out there I'm tossing anything possible to pry Blake away. Can't Blake be an urfa this summer too though?

 

[Fuck Your Couch]

Both CP3 and Blake can opt out after the season.

This may have already been posted, but Devin Thomas had his first NBA summer league action last night. The Twolves got their first win and Devin had 9 pts (4-6 shooting) and 5 rebs in 18 minutes.

Its kinda weird that the best NBA players have pretty bunk wives while role players and scrubbs have smokeshows.

[RJKarl]

Devin with 6 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals.

Hopefully, he'll find a spot or get a good contract in Europe.

Is CMM on a summer league team?

Nope. He worked out for some NBA teams prior to the draft but isn't on a summer league team.

I'll allow it.

The Clips off-season has seemed abysmal but I actually don't hate a 2-deep of:

PG: CP3, Felton
SG: JJ, Crawford
SF: W. Johnson, Mbah a Moute
PF: Blake, B. Johnson
C: Deandre, Mo Buckets

Just need a Draymond/Austin on-court altercation in late March that nets Draymond a 30 game suspension and Rivers a season ending injury.

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Nope. He worked out for some NBA teams prior to the draft but isn't on a summer league team.

Isn't he in China?
