Oh well.

Wiggins/Parker/Smart/Gordon/Cauley-Stein/Randle isn't a bad constallion prize. I really hope we don't do something silly like stay in the middle. We just need to SnT Smoove to Boston for a pick and Kris H and rebuild properly.

A Big 3 of Paul-Griffin-Doc is pretty dangerous.

They will still be at best a 2nd round team. Best of luck to them.

Sarcasm. Doc can't lace em' up. He was a mediocre coach before the Big 3. I don't think they get out of the first round currently built.

As expected, now Howard can go sign with Rockets. I find it ironic that somebody took the time to put Howard in a hawks uniform when it was never going to happen to begin with lol. First CP3 and now Howard.

Chris Paul's representatives have told teams not even to bother pursuing the point guard when free agency begins Monday because he will re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to league sources.

Paul's decision to stay with the Clippers is no surprise, but the latest word from his camp has ended whatever small hope opposing teams had of luring the All-Star, sources said.

Doc Rivers becoming the Clippers' new head coach and senior vice president of basketball operations earlier this week assured that Paul will remain in Los Angeles, according to sources.

The chances of him leaving the Clippers were slim even before Rivers was named coach, but sources say he had at least entertained the thought of going to the Atlanta Hawks with Dwight Howard, who also will enter free agency Monday.

And I thought Dwight Howard was dumb...

[Guest Zone]

The rebuilding of the hawks is almost upon us brethren.

Its ok. We still have plenty of options.

Iggy, Teague, Horf, D12 and stir in some shooters.

There are other PG options out there. Including our own Jeff Teague, who may yet blossom under the tutelage of Bud's staff.

[NBASupes]

I am ready for the Dennis Schoeder era with or without D12. Now if D12 wants Rondo. I want Rondo too.

Hate Danny Ainge with a passion now.

Doc had other offers but he wanted to coach CP3. Is it our fault for that? No. Ainge? No Doc wanted to go there and he did.

[NekiEcko]

Thanks Danny Ainge, but you know that Clippers will be a treadmill team for the next couple of years since Clippers doesnt have too much cap space.

Schröder definitely makes it a lot easier for me to be OK with this. Still hope Ferry/Bud make the pitch of their life and get Dwight though.

They are trying to trade for Dorozan. Dorozan skills aren't good at all. His is super athletic and he can score some especally on transition.
