IllestPamfilis Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) If and when the L.A. Clippers sign on George Karl as coach (which I think will happen), will this turn CP3 back to L.A.? $28 million more if he signs with the Clippers, along with Karl as the new coach. What's ya'lls opinions on the matter? I know the distress is mainly between the Clips ownership and CP3, but maybe this makes him reconsider even more?

Admin Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Where is the part about going to the Clippers coming from? I haven't read anything about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllestPamfilis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Well my only source is my cousin who happens to work with the Clippers. He says Brian Shaw and George Karl are their choices if he didn't reup with Denver. I haven't heard it anywhere else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I love how this offseason is like the Cold War and every little move is scrutinized for having dramatic effects. Clippers interested in Karl? The Russians are building missile batteries on the Kazakh border! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllestPamfilis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) I'm sure L.A. would want to grab Lionel Hollins if they could, but seeing that Memphis denied Brooklyn, I just don't see that happening. But they're looking at Hollins, Shaw, and Karl hard, with Karl now being at the top of the list. Edited June 6, 2013 by IllestPamfilis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin capstone21 Posted June 6, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Karl is a great coach but his teams never could get out of the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted June 6, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Saw that a possibility is that Memphis and Denver "trade" coach... Hollins to Denver and Karl to Memphis. IDK about that though because Memphis is in to that advance metric stuff and Karl is another old school coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Karl is a great coach but his teams never could get out of the first round. He's made it to the Conference Finals with Denver, Milwaukee and then a slew of them including a Finals with Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Damn - that COY award is a definitely a curse. Don't forget that LD won coach of the day or something like that one time this year and that didn't help him out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Don't forget that LD won coach of the day or something like that one time this year and that didn't help him out either. Yep - and Avery Johnson won it one month, got fired the next!!! Keep that award away from Coach Bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted June 6, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 If and when the L.A.

What's ya'lls opinions on the matter? I know the distress is mainly between the Clips ownership and CP3, but maybe this makes him reconsider even more? Last time I looked, Karl is a good coach but his fingers are naked. The Clipper team is systemically beyond fixing because they are putting all their trust in a PF who's main thing is dunking. Griff is good for the highlight reel but midrange he's nothing. He becomes Zach Randolphs pin cushion in the playoffs. Sterling doesn't see it and will change coach after coach trying to solve it. Paul knows it. Paul has coaching credentials and he knows that they have a fatal flaw. He also knows that they will continue to treat Griff like a prized pig.I think the main thing is that Paul is more concerned about winning. Money is great, but he will make more money. However, he wants a championship. If we could deliver Howard, I think he'd come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllestPamfilis Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Diesel, couldn't say it better myself brother. Karl won't make much of a difference IMO but I think that's who they're high on. Definately agree on the Blake Griffin front as well. Haven't seen too much improvement in him the past couple years, and he is FAR from a franchise player. Much like J-Smoove, his highlights make people think higher of him.

NBASupes Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Some have said that a trade between Memphis and Denver is likely. Karl to Memp and Hollins to Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungsta Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 he is a regular season coach. He has no halfcourt offense. When I watched the nuggets in the playoffs when the game slowed down they were pretty hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 We need a SF and when you look at the options around the NBA, Iggy is pretty good choice. I think Bud as the coach would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
