Rivers is undersized and not ready for the NBA


Dude is 6'4" 190 lbs and under a professional training program he will get a little bigger. Dude has skills at the PG position and would be a star in very little time.

whats the deal with this minnesota pick? is it just a first round pick that should net us a high draft choice because they probably will suck again?


On top of everything else that has been said, the pick will have been traded by both the Timberwolves and the Clippers, the 2 most hapless franchises in the league. Karma alone says it should be a #1 pick.

Depends who we have at various positions between the Clip Show trade and any FA signings / amnesty pickups.


Based on the trade as it is laid out, I'd say that Gordon at the 2 is our main building block. Bledsoe at the 1 and Kaman at the 5 are doable, but could be improved.

The big targets, IMHO, would probably be Harrison Barnes at the 3 and someone like Perry Jones or Jarred Sullinger at the 4. Jones and Barnes were both easily in the Top 3 if they'd come out this year, as Kanter was picked at #3 and he didn't play all season.

How hilarious would it be if the Clip Show traded what became the #1 overall pick two years in a row?

Remember, the pick that became Kylie Irving was given to the Cavs as part of the deal to get B-Diddy's lazy arse out of LA.

Obviously it depends on the pick, but I would imagine Andre Drummond or Anthony Davis would be the #1 overall if the draft happened today.

Getting say, Drummond and Harrison Barnes would be pretty sweet.

Kaman is an expiring contract.

I agree.

To me coming out with at the least one of Anthony Davis, Drummond, or Barnes would be essential.

Getting two of those three would be jimp worthy

I heard on radio Rick Bucher say that the Hornets and Clippers were in talks for CP3 with a deal that would look like

Clippers: CP signing extension and Okafor

Hornets: Eric Gordon going along with Minny pick+Kaman+Bledsoe+fillers

Don't know if it's substantial or not but just passing along what I overheard.

I dont think Bledsoe's ever gonna be a legit starting PG. Id have no problem making that trade without him even in it.

I think this might just have been Bucher shooting the shite. Talking about possible deals,etc. Everything I've read says the Clipshow is going to focus heavily on getting DH.

I hope this is true.

I wonder what we would do with Jack and Ariza if we made this trade.

I would think we would try to dump Ariza in another deal that sends back expirings or picks or young players. If we can't get a deal, maybe we Amnesty him once ownership is in place.

Things could get very interesting.

Yeah, if demps can demp like he did as well as he did last year. This season won't be as bad as on expecting. And we'll have money to spend. The biggest thing with that trade is my homie oaks contract is gone.

And for inquiring minds: If Clips are offering EGordon/DeAndre Jordan and another piece (Bledsoe/Aminu/Minn's 1st), that's a better deal.

RicBucher Ric Bucher
But I'm still coming to grips with a player of CP3 reportedly having Clippers on his wish list. Talk about burying the lede. #PowerofBlake

RicBucher Ric Bucher
And for those saying that Clips' offer is too much: Not if it convinces Blake to be a Clipper for Life. #Soundsweirdtometoo

Since it's come up: I'm a big believer in EGordon. And the thought of Minn pick being Anthony Davis...I'd try to get CP3 w/everything else.

Anthony Davis Kentucky is the hot name right now.



ETA: i think it is imperative NO gets a 1st round pick in any deal.

Any deal with the Clips we make with CP has to include Gordon or we are getting screwed.
