I got this strange feeling that Howard will be a Bull.
Why is that?

Bring him in PaxGAR...
And don't forget to bring in Smith too.

 

[thechosenone]

Or bring in Iggy too!

Saw that this morning, very sad news! I spoke with Gar twice at the Bucks game, as he kept walking by us with his young son. He suggested about adding a player but didn't really give us any information, I mean why would he lol, I am nobody, but it was nice to give him my feelings as a fan about the team!

 

[BNB]

not a surprise. Teams are always "looking to add someone"

that could be a shitty bench player haha

Damn! I'd been wondering all day what the deal with Chauncy was going to be. Shitty news. Huge blow to the Clippers.

 

[ChiTeez.com]

Very sad to hear about Chauncy and his leg. I have always liked him, he is a solid player! Hopefully he comes back strong!

 

[BNB]

man... ellis is going off tonight

Indeed. Hopefully it doesn't end his career. He's the only player I like on that Clipper team.

Too bad they still lost 'cuz that team is trashhhhhhhhhh.

I could've sworn the Warriors were gonna make some noise in the playoffs, but apparently not.

Meh, rookie coach, nobody plays defense. No true team leader (they have a bunch of nice complimentary players, but nobody who can absolutely dominate a game), play in a tough division, and they don't have much of a bench. I think they've got a nice some nice building blocks. They definitely need to trade Ellis and try and get some more assets going into the offseason (maybe another first-round pick, some more cap space) in order to fill out their roster, add a true defensive presence, and a real post player.

 

[Cloud 9]

Yeah the Warriors need to ship Monta off for a big. Or a lottery pick they can use on a big. I can already think of a few scenarios I'd pursue if I was the Golden State GM. They have some nice pieces going forward in Curry, Udoh, Wright and Thompson, but they still lack their true big man. I've always wanted to see that team turn it around, I hope they do.

Chauncey is adamant about not retiring. He said he absolutely won't retire.

Chauncey is adamant about not retiring. He said he absolutely won't retire.

He has no idea if his body is going to let him keep playing, though. That's a rough injury to come back from, especially given his advanced age.
