[DStebb716]

Darn "5 p.m." stuff. 8 for me over here haha.

[Clippersfan86]

Yup. Will be awesome to hear his opinions. I predict a praising of Blake Griffin and DJ. He has said he loves both players before. BTW this is for those of us who don't have cable TV and need streams obviously. If you have cable.. you can view it on ESPN and Fox Sports Prime Ticket.

"This isn't my day, this is the Clippers day"

Loving that quote.

Edit: Shout out to Billups as well, nice.

[Blue&Orange]

Lebron and his PR team should be taking notes, CP3 saying all the rights things.

yah thats total bullshit there is no way cp3 chose to be a clipper.

LOL at these retarded Lakers reporters constantly trying to bait him into Lakers vs Clippers questions. Good thing CP3 is smart enough to cut them down.

[MooseJuiceBowen]

cp3 given the chance to go to any team in the league would not pick the clippers. only clipper troll fans believe that. front office trying to sell that

They aren't retarded at all, doing exactly what a reporter needs to do in order to draw ratings. Attempt to stir up contreversy.

So why pick up his player option for next year instead of trying to sign elsewhere right away?

Also, when's the last time a player wanted to go to SAS that is near Paul's caliber, let alone, Butlers. Jefferson? :oldlol:

[AMISTILLILL]

Who cares? It's lip service, obviously. No surprise there. You're not stumbling across some revelation by stating athletes sometimes say things to the media that aren't entirely true. Chris Webber was in tears when he flew into Sacramento for the first time because he couldn't stand the idea of playing there and resigned there years later. Shit changes.

[Clippersfan86]

Fair enough. Just find it funny that they keep asking about him almost being a Laker etc and trying to stir controversy like you said.

[DuMa]

boring presser. keep it sweet and simple

[blacknapalm]

i'd trade foye and/or williams

[DuMa]

i liked how CP3 kinda nodded slowly when they said 3 Allstar backcourt with Mo

[Clippersfan86]

Yup. Olshey is 100 percent right. Back up center and we are set.

[qrich]

i'd trade foye and/or williams

Williams for Kevin Martin...get it done!

[Clippersfan86]

:roll:. I feel so bad for Mo. He recruited Caron and has been a great leader... but he's going to be lucky to get full 6th man minutes.

[blacknapalm]

Williams for Kevin Martin...get it done!

....mo williams does not have that type of trade value. maybe neil can convince a dumb team he's an all-star? :oldlol:

[Kobr]

cp3's bro was looking around like...'damn lil bro, why'd you call me out? i'm trying to be low key here' :lol

I'm not sure the history but most Hornets fans have beef w/ the brother. That's CP's manager. They think he didn't like New Orleans or something

Clippers broadcast team about to go 1 on 1 with CP3 in a sec.

[NASH = BEST]

"And I'm excited to be here in LA, with this "unbelieveable" franchsise (the Clippers), you know there is so much history behind it" Chris Paul

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

I started laughing when he said that. I mean does he even know what team he got traded to anyway? Lol

Then he proceded to not remembering his new coaches name! :facepalm

lol you could tell all of this was so fake and the front office was selling it so bad. they are desperate to change the look of the franchise. only way thats happening is a city change and a name change

[veilside23]

i believe cp3 is ok that he is a clipper just imagine the legacy he would leave for this organization if he can take them to the glory land. playoffs for what the next 10 years?


If cp3 doesnt want to be a clipper we will find that out couple of years from now.

i have a feeling cp3 will be a clipper for good.

even if they go to the playoffs twice, he and griff will basically be the GOAT clippers. clips have been to the playoffs like four times since my birth :bowdown:

[DuMa]

CP3 wont practice until Saturday.

[qrich]

LACP3....I was hoping the marketing team would be more creative, but guess not.

reminds me of LAPD.

we can still call him CP3 though.

CP3 + BG32

Clippers franchise players... rings incoming

[O_City_Thunder]

Dam, I missed it :banghead:

[DuMa]

i find it very weird that every clippers employee has to refer the owner as 'Mr. Sterling'

[JohnnyFord]

i find it very weird that every clippers employee has to refer the owner as 'Mr. Sterling'
maybe cause hes the boss

[Clippersfan86]

The people in here saying that the employees are all forced to kiss Sterling's as* ... are stupid. Obviously the team is spending a sh** load of money and making a bunch of moves so Sterling is supporting the team. If he doesn't sign off ... IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. Period.

Props to the whole Clippers organization for getting serious about winning. May Blake Griffin and Chris Paul lead us to championships :cheers: .

Is Neil Olshey the run away GM/executive of the year winner assuming Clippers get a high playoff seed? So far this offseason....


1. Sign Caron Butler
2. Claim Chauncey Billups off waivers for 2 mill
3. Match DJ's offer
4. Trade for top 5 player in the NBA


ONE HELL OF A RESUME so far this year. :applause:

yeah he's making all the right decisions so far, and i think he probably isn't even done yet.

he'll probably grab us a solid SG before the deadline

Chris is the man. Here in LA, we welcome him with open arms...

CP3 isn't Top 5.

LeBron,Wade,Rose,Durant,Dwight all better.

[Stat & Melo]

CP3 isn't Top 5.

LeBron,Wade,Rose,Durant,Dwight all better.

and melo is better. i would put him at number 7, maybe even 8 behind williams.

[Fiasco]

CP3 isn't Top 5.

LeBron,Wade,Rose,Durant,Dwight all better.

If you can carry a team that consists of Aaron Gray, David West (injured for the playoffs), Marco Belinelli, and Jarrett Jack to the playoffs, I'm sure you're a Top 5 player.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Paul >>> Melo, I have him in my top 6-7 tho.

Lebron, Dirk, Wade, Howard and then Durant. CP3 at his best can be interchangeable with Durant imho--same with Kobe.

i'm basically fine with this list. also, just to piggyback on...i don't see a more lethal pick n roll out there that is interchangeable between two guys (DJ and blake) with someone like cp3. this should come pretty naturally. wade and lebron have more overall talent but you can tell lebron is still uncomfortable playing off the ball at times. that's when you usually see lebron floating around the perimeter.

cp3 will also help tremendously with pace. this team has the potential to slowly kill and torture you with the pick n' roll. if billups sets up on the weakside, he should get some open looks.

True. Wade and Lebron take turns. When one player is in iso.. the other is always standing around which is very bad basketball IMO. It's not all about raw talent. It's about chemistry. You put 3 of the most deadly pick and roll players in the NBA together (one as the guard, 2 finishers) and expect some intense results. Unlike Lebron and Wade who clash because they look to do the same things... it won't be like that for the Clippers.

DJ prefers to just anchor the defense, finish lobs and get wide open dunks. Blake likes to go to work in the post and take it to the rim as well as shoot the jumper. Chris Paul LOVES running the pick and roll and creating for people. Best lob tosser in NBA. It's crazy because CP3 is literally the PERFECT PG for our team.

BTW just to update those worried about Chauncey situation... CP3 tonight said that Chauncey and him are like brothers and that Chauncey will absolutely buy into w/e the team has him doing.

[Clippersfan86]

Kobe DA GAWD talking about trade.
