Sources: Doc Rivers Headed To Clippers > http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/94...s-deal-sources
And how is this relevant to us tbh. I don't see LAC suddenly being better than us. They can't trade for KG now (according to Marc Stein, Stern won't allow it). I doubt the rumored trade of Griffin and Bledsoe to the Lakers for Dwight has any merit.
Vinny Del Negro su*ked balls. He couldn't coach. Now the Clippers should be contenders assuming that Chris Paul resigns. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...geles-clippershttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCgzB5ks8bMQuote:

Clippers undeniably made a step forward. They are loaded with talent but didn't have a coach who could put it all together. It can't get much worse than Del Negro. Getting a championship coach might finally convince Griffin to work on his game.
Clippers immediately go from 4-5 team to 1-3 team in the West
Stern stops this. He's pretty much already said he would. Under the CBA, it's not allowable to trade a coaches contract.
Apparently, the NBA is fine with this as long there's no subsequent deals between these two teams.Quote:

Hey doc welcome to the west, no nets n sixers or bucks here, u dealing with some tough playoff matchups sucka http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1132227/coach.gif
Yeah he's probably overrated by a fair bit. Still way better than VDN. Of course, they could have gotten a coach way better than VDN without giving up a pick. :lolQuote:

Bingo. Even Karl would've been a huge upgrade, and you don't have to give up that pick.Quote:

Paul and Griffin is a good 1-2 punch, Crawford is a good 6th man, Bledsoe is a great bench piece, and Barnes/Odom are good bench role players..
Their starting 2/3 is horrible, and their C is DeAndre Jordan:lol..
They are missing the legit 3rd guy that all elite teams have, their frontcourt is average, and their starting perimeter players are really bad..
What about if they get Pierce and Garnett?Quote:

Based on what Stern said, KG is out of the Clippers' radar now. The only way they land Pierce is if Boston buys him out, and he then signs with the Clipps as a free agent.
Clippers still in the same boat, the best player doesn't score enough.
No, and Pop would kill himself if he had to coach Jordan, tbh..Quote:

I also kinda laughed at the bottom bit. I doubt they were looking to hire Brian Shaw. Seems like nobody wants that guy, they just feign interest so they don't seem racist. I been hearing Brian Shaw for head coach talks for years.
Bro seriously. 99.99% of the time these videos that you spam on SpursTalk are absolute shit. Do us all a favor and please stop...Quote:

Just another example of how lame the league is at times. Trading draft picks for coaches? Desperate, win now or else! Pissing away the long term success of the team, oh wait it is the Clippers. I am sure some Spurs fans want to see if we could get a few 1st rounders for Pop. No thanks I will keep him...
Bro seriously, stop hating on me because I want your favorite player Manu Ginobili gone. Yes I hate Manu and I hope he retires. I hope he brakes his ACL. RETIRE. RETIRE. REITERATE RETIRE X 100.Quote:

:lol The Spurs as of now are still the best team in the West. The Thunder fucked themselves over by trading Harden. No change of coach will fix that.
And Doc Rivers is overrated. The West will most likely be weak again next season. No need to get emo about it.
