    Fairly positive we could not sign him for the contract he got. But, that doesn't matter to you.

    I don't care that much because the biggest reason I hate the Clips is PatBev and he's like their ninth man... that being said, here comes the Jazz.

    Portland signed him for 2.75M which I was thinking was the BAE, but looking at their payroll Portland was 9M over the tax line and they would have been hard-capped at the apron using the BAE. So they much have used part of the tax-MLE

    it would be amazing foresight to have signed him for the full tax-MLE when he was willing to sign for half of it. Even then, non-bird rights would have allowed Portland to offer a salary the next year that was stiil 1.5M short of what he signed for

    Looks like they will be doing some trading up in the drafts.

    Ty lue has made gobert unplayable. What a coaching clinic.

    If billups has had any impact in the adjustments lue made this series and in this game, he needs to be hired asap

    He has certainly shown how to beat Utah; play without a center.

    She was the manager for the men's basketball team when she was at Kansas. Some guys at the school also produced a pretty successful swimsuit calendar. I think it was called "The Women of KU." She was the cover model like three years in a row.

    Clippers use to made gobert make a decision stay in the middle to protect the rim or go out 3 point line. Plus Utah like so many team in this league the star goes iso to much and rely on there teammates to help. Clippers swung the ball to get wide open 3 but clippers star trust his teammates.

    So looks like the Blazers could interview Carlisle and Quinn before Billups is done with the playoffs!
