An honest liar if you will.

In particular Rob pointing out that cap circumvention is nearly impossible to prove given that Kawhi was on a max contract and recovering from an ACL without any other suitors in play. How did the Clippers as a team benefit from him getting some sketchy endorsement deal on the side? They couldn’t have. There’s no case here.

The majority of this is being driven by Clipper and Kawhi hate. Not surprising when you consider that Kawhi ended the Heatles dynasty, ended the Spurs dynasty by forcing his way out, ended the KD Warriors, abandoned an entire country after he just won finals MVP in Toronto, and then snubs LeBron and the Lakers for us.

I actually saw a headline that read “The Clippers haven’t proven their innocence.” What is this the Salem Witch Trials? My favorite is fans claiming his contract should be voided so he could then sign with their team LOL. Like this wouldn’t disrupt the competitive balance of the league even worse than violating the cap would? Let’s say he just signs with the Nuggets and they roll the Thunder as a result. How fair would that be to the years of maneuvering and hard work the Thunder have put into building this wonderful team?

Can’t wait until the investigation reveals some really lowbrow shit went down, we get a slap on the wrist and all of these haters heads can explode.

The playmakers and iso players have to stay on the court at all times. With more playmakers and iso players on the roster now, the minutes should be distributed better.

Remember CPs hammys back in the day when our PO hopes were extinguished (but also recall quite clearly how CP helped take down the Spurs (or was it the Rox?)). But when you think about it, it all comes down to how Ty works/uses these guys. Could he run certain guys into the ground? Wouldn’t put it past him. I also see the training/medical staff having a big role in keeping the team ambulatory. Big job ahead. It’s doable but if we’re truly going to conserve these guys for the POs, don’t count on a high seed. But I’d trade a lower seed for health any time.
