    The guy has respect from players around the league. I have to think players want to play for him, supposedly had big impact in George going to Clips, while it still takes a trade to make things happen it makes it easier to trade for players who want to come to Portland

    Rip Hamilton literally broke down in tears the day Chauncey was traded from the Pistons.

    Imagine kawhi is sick of the Clippers medical stuff and wants to play for Billups, they do a sign n trade for CJ, because they have no draft picks and they have stay in win now Mode, and getting CJ is better for them then losing Kawhi for nothing

    I don't want to imagine that because I will end up being profoundly disappointed.

    If Kawhi is sick of the Clippers' medical staff I wonder what he would think about ours?

    Whadda’ya mean?!?!?

    We’ve done such a bang up job with Zach Collins!

    If that doesn’t inspire confidence I don’t know what will.

    Or bake on an excessively high heat, burned on the outside and dough in the middle.

    Average it together and it’s perfect!

    Well if you did, I'm not sure it would get eaten.
    Freeze dried for preservation and display possibly.

    Maybe I missed something, but PG is in his second year with the Clippers and Billups is in his first year there. How did Billups influence PG's past decision unless he had some earlier role with LAC I'm unaware of?

    Fallen chocolate cake is deliberately underbaked. Burned cake, however, is always a disaster.

    I'm disappointed this so-called sports forum has such a deep knowledge of baking. :cheers:
