    If Blake is healthy, he is a triple double threat. I sometimes wonder if they would've been better keeping Gordon (in a world where Gordon doesn't get hurt) and not trading for Paul. That team still had great upside and Bledsoe at PG.

    LMAO what the HELL is wrong with GMs these days? they have the brain of a 12 year old.

    I listened to Bill Simmons name Blake's injuries in the past 2-3 years and immediately knew i don't want him on my team, he is DONE.

    "Hey, we didn't make it past the 1st round for two years. How can we make this team better??:smiley-hmm::smiley-hmm::smiley-hmm:.... I know! LETS GET RID OF CHRIS PAUL AND SIGN ONE OF THE MOST INJURED PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE FOR THE ULTRA MAX!!". :smiley-bonk:

    His problem is that he always has that look on his face like he thinks that you're a complete dumbass, but he just can't be fucked to say it.

    Or there's some secret joke that only he knows about....

    Or he's secretly plotting to rape you in the showers after the game.....

    173 Million for an often injured player is a bad offer and deal. The question is, what percentage is guaranteed. The Clips should have offered a range of 20 to 30 million. They are a rival and some top brass idiot will be the fool when he blows it. I don't care about the LA Clippers.

    Keep telling yourself:
    1. It's not YOUR money
    2. If it wasn't going to the players it would be sitting in the pockets of billionaire owners

    All of it. This isn't the NFL--contracts are fully guaranteed in the NBA by default. Teams or players can negotiate partially guaranteed or option years, but it wasn't reported that this deal has any of those (that I saw).

    In my interview for my next job I'd bring in the video and say:

    "If you try to put my face in your crotch, I'm probably going to punch you there multiple times. I really don't know any other way to react."

    :dunno:

    Jesus how did Blake not get suspended for that?! Is that the same trainer that Blake punched and broke his hand? Mabye Blake was asking for BJ from that trainer and he said no so Blake punched him?!

    Kind of the Bonzi Wells "basketball to the back of the head" vibe. If your looking for actions that show someone is a complete A hole than that is probably an indicator.
