Luka is so good. Just wish he had better teammates.

Just watched the 2nd half of this (vs Boston) as I had an hour to kill waiting at the airport heading home. I got a D White singlet for Xmas. God I love that man.

Amen. White is the man.

Tatum needs to keep going to the hoop vs. settling for 3s. He's officially in all-star mode meaning refs are gonna give him the calls. It's an automatic trip to the line.

I can't figure out this team. All the talent in the world, but they continue to have these dry spells.

Also, how does a team lose 28 in a row??

[E.H. Ruddock]

Morant out for season

[Peeps]

good for kwahi on that huge extension (3yrs 142 million)

but what the hell are the clippers thinking

He's been awesome this year, but yeah. I wonder if injury related incentives are in the contract. If not, it should have been a 2-3 year deal with the last year being a team option.

Didn't Woj report it as fully guaranteed?

Also, Spo highest paid coach in North American sports history I think. And they waited to do the deal until after his divorce lol.

This seems like a mistake. Who were they bidding against?

[4/5]

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Leonard agreed to a three-year, $152.4 million fully guaranteed deal that will tie him to the Clippers through the 2026-27 season.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski added Leonard will make $52 million in the first year and $50 million in each subsequent season. His deal does not include a player option.

So it was Shams not Woj but yeah seems crazy to do that at all, let alone now.

[Monkey_Driven]

I get they have a new area to sell tickets for and all, but how many people in LA really care about the Clippers?

[4/5]

Love this trade

Love this trade

Checking in here to see what you thought of it. Seems like a big win for both sides considering their positions.

[4/5]

Every Heat fan I've talked to so far is thrilled. Just what we needed: get a PG, dump the corpse of Lowry, and it only cost a protected first.

This season is weird because the record isn't great but I really like this team and love the depth. The Bucks will probably pound Miami in the playoffs to make me regret saying this, but it feels like Miami dodged a major bullet not getting Dame.

Yeah, Miami is in good shape.

[Vitalogist]

Embiid’s 70-point game… wow.

[4/5]

Yeah I woulda thought it was impossible that he could win MVP this season but lord almighty he's been amazing.

[spike]

Woah Bucks canned Griffin

[spike]

Bucks interested in Doc Rivers

[Monkey_Driven]

Embiid has been incredible. I still wonder if he can have the same level of performances in the playoffs for a sustained run. Seems like he either is hurt or disappears each year. Maybe being unshackled from Simmons, Harden, and Rivers will finally be the key.
