    It's because he's not actually a "really nice guy". He's a manipulative back-stabber, by several accounts. The God-bothering is just the cherry on the shit sundae.

    Fair enough. Color me more educated.
    I joined this forum to learn, and today I have.
    However, I am still a Mark Jackson fan. Will still enjoy his broadcasts and hope he gets a coaching job someday soon.
    I'm guessing about 50% of this shit is all true. Dude's a hardass, that can upset fellers/feelers sometimes as well.

    Ainge is such a great drafter. Grant Williams and Pritchard were questionable picks that have turned into steals.

    Bigger trade rumors are that the Lakers are thinking about trading Anthony Davis.
    This summer might get interesting after all.

    if the Lakers are smart, the very first thing they should do is fire the guy that traded for Westbrook

    This summer is setting up to be a rather big shakeup in the league.

    Not sure you can fire him but I guess you could trade him back to Cleveland.

    For years, it’s what Larry Brown was known for. Take a bad team, make them good, and then leave. Of course,he finally won in Detroit.

    Technically wouldn't that be a Michael Jordan relative?

    Well for all of you that didn't think RoCo and his bird rights were worth anything, you were wrong. The Clippers just got a rotation player better than anyone they could have gotten in free agency even with the TPMLE and still have that ~6M exception to get another rotation player.

    Justise, Keon and a slap in the face second rounder for the guys that will be their first and second off the bench when they are contending next season. Joe "Santa Claus" Cronin, the Clippers thank you for your gifts.
