Shams Charania @ShamsCharania 1m
Free agent guard Pablo Prigioni has reached agreement on a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, league source tells RealGM.
 

Well, the good news is this ensures their inbounds passes are a little bit safer, come playoff time.
 
Wait, NBA is gonna charge $120 for a single team pass?!?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Adam Silver losing his mind. Full league is $200. Yeah, I'm done with that pass. Illegal streams for me.

What's this $7 a game option you can buy? Can you really buy random games every night for $7?

Spurs trolling with this Jimmer signing.

My man Pablo.

Sweet. Now we got the guy from Rockets who killed us the most in Game 6 and in Game 7.

Couple years ago you could get the five team deal for the same price as ONE team now lol.

Also, nobody is paying $7 to watch ONE game. If the NBA sold single games for $1 (or even $2), they'd make a killing. This is epically stupid on the NBA's part.

In terms of Love being back with the Cavs. Because of his playmaking ability, getting guys involved, and his under-utilized post up skills, I think it would make sense to utilize him with Kyrie as much as possible. I think it could work out quite well on the offensive end of things while Lebron's minutes can be distributed to play more minutes with the second unit because the playoffs proved he can take a team of scrubs to the finals.

Have Kyrie and Love play heavier minutes together along with defensive minded players (Shump, Delly, and Mozgov) while you distribute Bron's minutes to play more with spot up shooters (Mo Will, JR) as well as Varajao and TT.

Obviously I am not saying LeBron to come off the bench (plz don't think that), I am just saying the minutes can be distributed more efficiently to maximize the effectiveness of the entire squad.

What you're saying is true but it all depends on Lebron. Is he willing to let Love get elbow touches and post ups? Is he willing to let Kyrie run PNRs and ISOs? Is he willing to be part of an actual flowing offense?

For a large majority of his career, the answers been a resounding no. Last year the Cavs ran a 2K offense that was dreadful to watch even when they were winning, even when they were healthy. That's been the MO for a large majority of Lebrons teams. (MIA was the exception and that still involved completely eliminating Bosh from holding the ball) That was all Lebron. Blatt really had no choice in the matter.
 
Seth Curry got a two year ear deal with a player option.

Jimmer Fredette got a training camp deal.

Life comes at you fast
 
Seth Curry would've been a late first round pick had he stayed at Liberty though.

Took the long route, but he's right where he's supposed to be.
 
Spurs won 61 games in 2010-2011 and got a future Finals MVP in the draft. Kings "tanked" in 2011 and got Jimmer Fredette.

Well, duh. That goes for every team in the league.

And much as I like what the Clips have done this offseason, I still have them at 4 in the West. GSW, SAS and OKC (assuming they are fully healthy) are ahead.

OKC
Clips
GSW
SAS

HOU

Grizzles

The rest don't matter. Honestly, the seeding will likely be separated by 1-3 games. Those top 4 teams are so close.

GSW had the perfect year from start to finish. No injuries to major players, good matchups, finished games well. Things broke their way. I don't see them having that good fortune 2 years in a row.

However, they are still one of the top 4 teams in the NBA and anyone of the Top 4 in the West are legit favorites to win it all.

I agree that Steph crossed CP3 but people just constantly ignore that the reason chris slipped is because he stepped on Currys foot and that cause d him to slip. Im not trying take away from the move at all but when you really look at it I think chris wouldve defended it better but Curry WASN"T missing that shot,. No Way.
