Pistons Buyout Reggie Jackson, Agrees to Sign with the Clippers

[Bosnian Sajo]

GG, Clippers.

[Patrick Chewing]

Los Angeles is winning the Championship this year.

[qrich]

Bleh, would rather have had Lin, but if Reggie is fine playing spot minutes and causes no locker room issue, I'll take it

[Wiggins23]

Rich richer

[Patrick Chewing]

Reggie always has those bloodshot eyes.

Stacked. Another good 3-point shooter and playmaker.

Lakers must be fuming.

[fourkicks44]

Who did the Clippers waive to open the spot?

[NBASTATMAN]

REGGIE JACKSON TO CLIPS.

What's your reaction? What do you think of Jackson as a player?

And will this actually help the Clippers?

:rolleyes: yeah this will really put him over the top :lol

Reggie going to the Lakers would have given them a second guy who can get his own shot and create some for others. Rondo can create but he is purposely left wide open most times. Meanwhile the Clips have like 4 or 5 guys that can get their own shot and create. Today's league is about the guards not bigs. The Lakers have built a team that would have been better before the rule changes that makes guards unstoppable

Lakers still have the best two-man combo and that counts for a lot in the way they will be double and triple teamed.

Lin was pretty woeful with us last year. A decent insurance piece I suppose, but not somebody you want playing minutes in the post season (just my opinion)

[AirBonner]

14ppg on 38% for the season. This could actually hurt the clippers :lol

He’s shooting 38% from the field :oldlol:

[bladefd]

Its reggie jackson

Legendary closer.. One of the most clutch players in history.. Reggie Jackson is AWESOME!! Oh wait, wait that's the wrong sport, folks. Basketball version of Reggie Jackson doesn't really move the needle much so chill out on the overreaction

No need to cut anyone after the deadline moves. DWalton for nothing and then cut Isaiah

Still got one slot, wouldn't mind giving to Gortat

[baudkarma]

REGGIE JACKSON TO CLIPS.. KAWHI needs a team that can win 55 games without him to play for a title:oldlol:

What's the problem? Clips improve their team without giving up anything. Are you suggesting that they should not try to add to their roster, just stand pat because... why?

[Smoke117]

He’s shooting 38% from the field :oldlol:

And he's shooting 38% from 3pt land on 6 attempts and shot 37% last year on 6 attempts. How is what he said wrong?

hes barely played this season... and isnt a catch and shoot player at all.

:facepalm

they already have lou will leading the bench they dont need his dribbling ass spamming into 3's.

[Mr Feeny]

Isaiah Thomas, if I'm not mistaken.

[jayfan]

Los Angeles is winning the Championship this year.

They very well may. But it will be no thanks to this move.

As a Pistons fan, couldn't be happier.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

I don't think he could hurt lol. Clippers looking like the bully on the block.

[Celtics 1825]

Reggie Jackson ain't help, he's trash

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

This makes them worse

Stupid decision LMAO. Jerry West has lost his touch

Wedge is just gonna take shots away from better players. Hes a mediocre floor general (which they need) and cant play defense

Terrible pickup. B2B blunders from the Clips. Trading Harkless for Morris and now this

I think they needed Reggie because Beverley's been injured, just a RS move. Doubt he sees many minutes in the POs if they're healthy.

[regnortSkcaB]

Depth never hurts. Solid addition for cheap.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Reggie as a starter...no thanks.


But Reggie as your backup PG? Why wouldn't you want that...he can hit threes and make plays.

That's the problem with this move. If you told me he was brought in to back-up George and Shamet as a scorer, that would be one thing. But Jackson is not a viable point guard, even off the bench, and especially on a team with a set offense and multiple scorers. He's not a floor general, not a distributor, and plays no defense. He's a me-first, shoot-first guy who relished the idea of taking over. And again, he plays no defense.

[ronniec]

How bad it is to add insurance without giving up big?

If he can fit in, great.
If he cannot fit in, cut him loose.

A smart move by Clippers.

[scuzzy]

Clippers bench is better than 50% of the leagues starters

[ArbitraryWater]

He’s shooting 38% from the field :oldlol:

can you read?

you're just downplaying their absurd stackedness lol

IT.

[bobopenguin]

how is Reggie Jackson's defense?
is he a backup for Pat or it's gonna be a Lou + Reggies duo?
