Nice recovery day.

Except Rondo.

Had to get Boogie at that price. The upside is too much to turn down especially since he’s played with AD.

I want Morris, too. Or Avery Bradley. $6M left

Rondo/Cook
Green/KCP
LeBron/Kuzma
Anthony Fucking Davis/Morris?
Boogie/Javale
Dudley
Caruso
Korver?
THT

That’s a squad. Lots of shooting around LeBron and AD.

They did sign Caruso tonight. Are they going to move on from Andre Ingram?

Fuck... Rondo and Boogie. A can't shoot guard and a can't defend center, both with long histories of being assholes to play with.

We don't need a center like Boogie when we want to play AD a fair share at center. You just want another cheap Defense + Pick & Roll to the Hoop center like McGee who is willing to spend most of the time on the bench and eat DNPs some nights, and able to get more minutes when McGee gets hurt.

The only really good signing has been Green. The rest are dumpster diving. Dudley could be fine though is at the age where you worry about hitting the wall. I hate overpaying for KCP, and am not over enthused about $4M for McGee when he's really a minimum player. I'm still annoyed that the instant Claw went to the Clipps that we didn't have both Green and Morris lined up. This would be a damn front court:

AD + Bron + Morris + Kuzma + Iggy (if you could swing it in the buyout marker) + Duddley

You really don't need a Boogie there, and just need a McGee + "3rd Center" to spot 15-20 minutes a night because you want AD at center a lot.

Boogie raises the ceiling a ton.

Just does. He’ll be better physically and his DPM numbers with the Warriors were really good.

With no guard playmakers, his passing will come in handy, too.

We all just watched him contribute in the Finals even while compromised.

Need Iggy and a guard.

Complaining about the Klutch tax for KCP when they brought you LeBron and AD is a waste of energy.

In fact Boogie’s DPM has been 2.6 or higher since his 4th season. So really good.

A robust 3.6 with AD before he got hurt. 3.4 last season with the Dubs. If he sucks at defense, the analytics don’t show it.

Rondo sucks.

Saving the money for Iggy.

We’ll see if works.

And Boogie will stay in line. It’s essentially the Pels he flourished on with LeBron.

Bradley and KCP give them two gives who are good at PNR defense on PGs and can shoot the 3.

Iggy too, please.

I liked Bradley in Boston. He's not been the same since then. His offense picked up in Memphis last year after being awful with the Clippers. His defense wasn't strong either place.

On some level I don't mind taking a flyer on him. But I would have rather seen him on a vet minimum and save the full room exception for Iggy.

I remain pissed seeing all these "hope it works out" guys when we should have spent money on a much surer thing in Morris.

Morris just bounced on Spurs $10M per offer for $15M with the dumbass Knicks.

So out of the price range.

I don't think he bounces if we quickly locked his signature up on Saturday morning like Green as soon as Kawhi went to the Clipps. You just have that deal in place waiting for Kawhi to make up his mind, then move. Get the fax machines rolling, get it to the league office, and fuck any other team.

There was a big article on D. Howard in the LA Times today. He was saying all kinds of nice things about the Lakers & the good old days in Los Angeles. The story blamed all his problem on his back surgery. Then at the end...he says he would love to play for the Lakers again....but the Clips would be OK too. Seems he is getting cut before the season starts.---Yohe

The Clipper are really talking shit about the Lakers. They think there going to kick our ass. All the years that they spent being the worst team in the NBA...the Lakers left them alone & didn't rub anything in. Now they get two big stars & they are all over telling people what their going to do. Their still bush leaguers.

They just now realized they have a shity name. And they want to change it to something cool. Like the Bombers. Or the Zakers. Or the fackers.--Yohe
