Dubs! Bring back the Blur!
The Blur for the Clipps !!!
Rose to Clipps very nice piece
I hated Boston a lot and now I hate them more and suddenly Ainge isn’t crucified for his personnel decisions
Cool man. Just because you hate the Celtics doesn’t mean they are poorly run. Don’t be dumb
Everybody hates a winner it seems
Why do the Wizards have to match? Why can’t they just go after Rudy Gay
Because Porter is better than Gay and younger
But they would save money with signing Gay which would help them in the future with re-signing Wall,Beal, and Oubre
Crazy that Porter is a max guy… he’s a good role player. This $hit is getting crazy the money being thrown around to role guys. Porter is making 5 mill less a year then an established All Star
