Clippers land CP3

Man the Clips turned their back on EJ after saying they wouldnt trade him just before...

But hopefully the TWolves get their act together somehow and the pick doesnt turn out to be that high, and makes the trade look not so bad

Great move by the Clippers. Straight to at least the playoffs, would they be there without this trade??? I don't think so.

Eric Gordon is a free agent at the end of the year so he may have walked anyway.

DeAndre Jordan is still raw offensively but he is quality and they only need 10 points out of him.

Butler, well hopefully he has an injury free year.

Aminu, not really too much of a loss.

Kaman, getting on and injured a fair bit, still a loss.

The draft pick might hurt them though.

Still, probably THE BEST team the clips have EVER put on the floor plus have 14mil spare in cap room.

What's not to like?

I will not miss a clippers game this season.

That is all.

I'm gunna say Clippers will be in the playoffs this season!

Not sure if CP3 will stick around after the 2 years though. Pretty sure he'd still want to be in New York.

The clippers are again without a legitimate big man presence in the middle. Kaman was the best center the franchise ever had and helped to make them (somewhat) respectable. I'm sorry, but DeAndre Jordan is nothing more than black version of luc longley.

DeAndre Jordan can jump twice as high as Longley ever did, he also pretty much led the league in blocks last year......and he's young... he's twice the player Longley ever was...

Is it sad the first thing I thought was how sweet it's going to be collecting some sick Aminu hornets patches? lol. Definitely interested to see how this plays out for him but also keen to see how CP3 and Blake play together. Should make for an some awesome fast break highlights!

Jesus, this season's Clippers is an intoxicating prospect. I love the Bucks by default, but it's gonna be hard to take my eyes off that combo!!!

do we start taking bets when the clippers curse kicks in and paul gets injured?

About time too......... and hahahahahahahahahah so glad the Clips got him and not LAL, good job Clips!

Still think they gave up too much for him with Gordon AND the pick, but oh well!

I think cp3 just signed for the wrong LA team.

You serious!?

Randy Foye!!!

They are gonna sign AI lol!

Seriously...... they could go after someone like Affalo, add someone like him and they're starting to look scray good!

Exclusive: Griffin, Jordan celebrate Paul trade

 

[Verse1]

Have the Clips got enough in the bank for Jamal Crawford? He'd add some serious inside/outside threat to their team. Affalo is also another very under rated player imo

*EDIT* Just read Crawford signed with Portland, nice work by the Blazers

Recall those nasty CP3 to Tyson Chandler alley-oops back when NOH won their division and almost reached Conf Finals? Imagine that with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan on the receiving end!
