Apparently they're keeping both... Which is a bad idea, imo. They should try trading Asik for Ryan Anderson and Jeremy Lin I don't see them being able to move with that contract. Dallas made more sense to me for Dwight if he wanted to win because a Dwight/Dirk tandem would be nigh-impossible to stop and he'd be paired with a pass-first point guard in Calderon. Don't really see the point in leaving to another team with a ball-dominant SG who actually cares about his numbers with a coach that used fewer post-ups than D'Antoni. Dwight isn't even gifted in the post. He was at his best in Orlando's PNR. He's no PauI think the real question is "are Rockets last year's Lakers", and the answer to me is a hopefully obvious and not mud in my face no. Rockets have Harden, Howard, a workable pg in Lin, and a huge load of young guys to keep the energy up...and they can flip Asik for almost whatever the fuck they want as long as someone needs a center badly, and how bad a bet is it that someone will want that center role filled badly enough? Asik is all in on D, all out on O...someone can make that work in the league.
Gasol, that's for sure. Ryan Anderson seems like their best bet besides the off chance that Cuban grants Dirk mercy and trades him.
They've been pretty insufferable since the past year, not looking forward to them this time around. People thought bandwagon Lakers fans pre-2012-13 were bad...I mean, they were, but you know what I mean.
Dude. I have a friend who has been a "lifelong" Clipper fan since last year and she's the most obnoxious person in the world about it. I mean, the last time that Lakers won a championship was three years ago and she was using the "Stop using the past, we're the future LOB CITY LOB CITY LOB LOB CITY" argument. Nothing made me happier than watching the Clippers have their best season ever and have it end in a first round exit.
I don't get NBA fans sometimes. We all talk shit about Dwight, Carmelo, Durant, and previously Lebron about not winning but why does CP3 get a pass? He's never even been past the second round. Perception is that Cp3 is a winner, a top-5 player in the NBA yet he's 28 now and if that was Lebron or Carmelo we'd kill them for that. He's a great player, don't get me wrong. A bit overrated though imo.
