Its not disgusting at all.

His refusal to check his personality is what got him the boot.

How is he gonna provide veteran leadership to a locker room that have veterans that are more accomplished AND more experienced than he is?

No one owes these players a retirement tour or an opportunity to go out gracefully.

In all honesty, the old guard has taken more from the game then they’ve given back.

CP3 should have just accepted his role on the team and kept quiet for the duration of the season.

Yeah it is when you’re able to get out of your Celtics bubble and judge the circumstance in its own context. CP3 changed the direction of the franchise and a whole fanbase was built around he and Blake. It’s as simple as that.

@stepbackj34spud is right. There were championship expectations and they flamed out everytime. This idea that “changing the direction” is something redeemable when the team went as far as you took them before you got there is bullshyt

Nah we need to respect these guys


Players remember this


Now why would a great player go there?


The more and more I pay attention is when you at a certain level you can deny trades


So no one worth anything would go there unless drafted

nikkas more mad at Chris Paul than they are at Lawrence Frank, Kawhi, and Paul George. The 3 dudes who fukked over the Clippers 1000x worse than CP3 ever did.

Yall are some try hards with this kinda shyt. The fact the Clips had championship expectations in the first place proves he’s a franchise legend because they literally never had that before him. They made it to the 2nd round in 2006 when the west had a weak year. Went right back to being trash when the West reloaded. That doesn’t compare to making the playoffs every season in a more competitive conference.

I mean Vince Carter got his jersey retired from the Raptors for basically that, "changing the direction" right?

No, everybody wants L. Frank and Ty Lue gone. Two things can be true at the same time.

Got rid of the tyrant who wanted to control everything. Go be a coach nicca. Let's roll! :wow:

The 06 Clippers lost to the 7 seconds or less Suns during Steve’s MVP stint. How was the west in the mid 00s weak? Were you not around? :why:

Is Kawhi a franchise legend now too since he lead them to the playoffs multiple times and they were supposed to be a dynasty when he got there? :pachaha:

The Clippers didn’t become champion contenders by CP3 alone so let’s not tell half the story.

Wrong

The Clippers were a poverty franchise before Lob City and they were after Lob City. The Clippers made a desperate move that a team with no pedigree does as a big swing.

Had all the flash amounted to something the organization may have been less inclined to play ball with Kawhi. :hubie:

You know who refused all Kawhi’s request even after years of disappointing their demanding fans?

The Lakers
