Ya'll be hatin on Blake like crazy. That man is crazy talented. One of the most talented players in the NBA. He just don't fit with CP3 and you can't win a title building around that nikka.

Honestly, Dirk been regressing breh. Him, KG, and Pau Gasol show flashes but they aren't the same no more. Dirk defense be getting exposed like crazy and his movement is not what it use to be. I can't buy this Dirk>BG thing because BG look like shyt in the playoffs. For many years in the beginning, I remember Dirk looking like shyt in the playoffs as well. BG career just started. Now he might not fit CP3 but that don't mean he ain't any good.

Ya'll need to be realistic as well. Dirk ain't showed he is anywhere near as good as Blake in the last two years. He just hasn't. Dirk is still a top 10 PF but he's not in the top 5 no more.

Dirk career playoff avg is 25 and 10

What are Blakes? :beli:

:mindblown: why would anyone hate the hawks? How many championships have they won in the last 50 years? How many dynasties have they ended? shut the fukk up



Only team in the west the clippers have to worry about is the thunder.

Didn't Memphis stomp them out?

Lakers & Celtics hold the most titles, the next is Chicago with 6 & SA with 4. So please don't bring up championships, cuz all but 2 are lacking.

Blake's game doesn't mesh with the slow down pace of the playoffs.

Nope, he's too iso dominant. He's smart when the ball is in his hands but without the ball, he looks lost and just stands around. That nikka ain't built to be a movement PF. He just don't have that skill-set.

The playoffs is the worst place of iso dominant players who aren't skillful freaks like MJ or Kobe. Most struggle greatly. Defenses zone in and all of a sudden, you got little space and they cut off what you like to do. That's when it becomes a team game but Griffin can't adjust. It's just not in him like that. You can't make David West play like Blake Griffin and you can't make Blake Griffin play like David West. Like the playoffs is about match-ups, fits are about skill-sets.

No where near as good. :manny:

With that said, Dirk's eFG and FG% looked like shyt for half of those playoff series. What I don't get is how shameonyou is telling yall why he would make the trade for KG and yall saying hell no too old, but when Dirk come up, yall like, his career # shyt on BG. Well of course it does. He damn near had 15 years in the league.

@FreshFromATL, I ain't even worried about Houston. They can't get CP3 and Dwight. I will say this. Dallas could be interesting. They can't offer either Dwight or CP3 the max but let's say we wanted to bring Korver back as well. They would have to take 15.4. If Dallas gets rid of everyone outside of Dirk, guess how much they can offer? 15.4. Of course it would be Horf, Lou, Jenkins, Scott, Mack, 1st round picks, and 2nd round picks as well on our team while their team would be Dirk and NBDL scrubs. Both teams would have a room exception which is 2.4 to spend and use for our 12th player.

So, it basically down to LAL for D12, LAC for CP3, *us* and Dallas

Houston to me is out if CP3 and D12 want to play together.

Doc's on some bullshyt if he thought he was just gonna get whatever the fukk he wanted with three years remaining on his current contract. This isn't college, breh. :pachaha:

Also, if all this shyt would have went down and Doc, KG and Pierce went to the Clips for Deandre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe and a pick or two, I would have expected Stern to step in and veto it immediately to remain consistent. :stopitslime:

I don't get how Doc is gonna be critical of Ray leaving then attempt to gtfo his damn self. Dude has 3 years left on his contract and basically wants to leave because shyt is gonna get tougher. That squad is still pretty much guaranteed a 7th or 8th seed at least anyways so it's not a horrible situation. Sounds like them nikkas wanted to have their cake and eat it too:umad:

Yeah, at least ray was a free agent...

The thing that hurt was he took way less to go to Miami

But if doc goes to LA he's taking a huge paycut too

I still think this deal gets done tho, I just don't see doc coming back to Boston after this...

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
How the fukk are nikkas still looking at KG and Piru P like they superstars :wtf:

With that said if the Clippers can somehow figure out a way to get them for DeAndre and Bledsoe, I say do it (unless they plan on actually playing Bledsoe who shouldn't be taking a backseat to some of their guards :usure:)

DeAndre, even at a younger age, is still more limited than KG and I don't think that'll change this year or the next

IF this deal somehow goes through, the Clips might be transformed into a legit title contender...but that window is open for only one season

Boston, on the other hand, would be starting over, but not from ground zero
