There is no good player on the market right now, unless you want them to trade picks for Kevin love who might be the biggest name

Draymond most overrated player in history
Kerr most overrated coach in history


You've gotta pick one, my bro. Both can't be simultaneously true.

:mjgrin:

Jeremy Lin during his stretch is the most overrated player in history

Steve nash is the most overrated guy from our lifetime. He’s lucky that most basketball fans weren’t paying attention the the game until he got to Phoenix so it’s hard for them to comprehend that dantoni made him a “superstar”

draymond is overrated as shyt and nobody even knows he’s in the league right now. But we knew this would happen :smugfavre:

D'Antoni made him a star but he was part of the best offenses in history before and after him :ohhh:

The most important parts from Sam Amick's article from today on The Athletic:

According to three sources with knowledge of the situation, the NBA conducted a formal investigation of the Clippers last summer after complaints surfaced that Robertson had asked for improper benefits during the free agency process.

While sources with knowledge of the investigation said no evidence was found indicating that the Clippers had granted any of the lavish requests, the underlying message coming from Commissioner Adam Silver remains: He sees salary cap circumvention as a cardinal sin in the NBA, and will always keep a watchful eye on that front. If any relevant evidence of improper benefits surfaces in the future, the league will re-open the investigation and pursue the charges yet again.

The stories about Robertson's wish list made their way to the league office soon after Leonard made his decision, with concerned parties reporting that Leonard's uncle had asked pursuing teams for much, much more than a max contract. Sources say the league was told that Robertson asked team officials for part ownership of the team, a private plane that would be available at all times, a house and - last but certainly not least - a guaranteed amount of off-court endorsement money that they could expect if Leonard played for their team.

A source with knowledge of the Kawhi-Laker talks said Robertson made those requests repeatedly to owner Jeanie Buss over the course of three phone calls that spanned several days, and that she made it clear that such perks were illegal and would not be considered. There was even a question raised by Robertson about why Lakers legend Magic Johnson had been given a small piece of Lakers ownership so many years ago.

Those uncomfortable discussions with Robertson, along with Buss' growing sense at the time that the Lakers were being used as leverage to help Leonard get what he wanted out of the Clippers, are at the heart of frustration that remains to this day. What's more, sources said that Robertson made similar request of the Raptors.

The presumption among rival teams, of course, is that he did the same with the Clippers.

Turns out the requests were true. I remember hearing about Toronto being given the list of demands, didn't know the Lakers got the same treatment. And I guess we're supposed to believe the Clippers are clean huh. I thought the NBA would work to hide any foul play esp with the Clippers possibly winning a title, now I wouldn't be so sure we've heard the last on this story.

He didn’t ask for anything Lebron hadn’t gotten before. He was trying to get the best deal for his client :mjlit:

I thought Bron was getting a portion of the Lakers when he retired for joining, if we're going by Jeanie that might not be the case. We already know what happened when he tried to strong arm Riley, he through a temper tantrum and ran back to Cleveland. fukk it, he probably has lol. Everyone does it.
