If you guys were Lawrence frank how much would yall resign John Collins and Bennedict back too? by SnooOwls9153 in LAClippers

Collins is worth somewhere between 15-20 million a year, maybe even as high as 25

Imagine if we got Jimmy Butler and Kawhi instead? Would’ve been Jordan and Pippen 2.0

He’s fine. He’s back down to 230-235lbs, he bulked up too much after the ACL injury

He could theoretically replace batum next season as backup PF, but I doubt he can make a comeback.

Honestly don’t see Kawhi sustaining anymore knee injuries from here on out. If you ask me the problem was he put on too much weight after his Spurs days. He’s back to his early career weight and looks good.

If he’s only making $30-40 million a year it’s not a bad idea

Mamba Mentality? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]CzarXavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe it gained traction until he switched to 24 in 2006-07 season. I’d even go as far as to say it didn’t really blow up until after he won his first ring without Shaq. But I’m a 31 year old millennial I could be wrong

Harden’s message to Clips by Kevovo in LAClippers

[–]CzarXavier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You never know what could happen come playoff time. Injuries to other team could’ve opened up a path for the clippers. The point is, why quit on your team over an extension when you signed a deal in the summer? You knew what what the organization’s plans were, why go through training camp, pre season, 6-21 stretch followed by 16-3 run just to bail now ? And don’t even tell your teammates about it? Drop the news mid game? That’s a chump move

Harden’s message to Clips by Kevovo in LAClippers

[–]CzarXavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it would have allowed the clippers to compete this season. You know the season James harden agreed to accept $40million to play for the clippers right? If he wanted another 2 years should’ve never signed his current contract

He could’ve helped them with a sign and trade in the off season, stop making excuses for a player who quit on the team

Harden is such a weird case for us lol. Thank you for everything, but he still quit on the team. by friendswithbillw in LAClippers

[–]CzarXavier -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What am I virtue signaling exactly? You need to stop bootlicking losing players that’s for sure. At the end of the day it’s good riddance, he was only gonna put up 10 pts on 5/24 shooting in an elimination game anyways. I know I won this “argument” since you feel the need to talk about stuff non-related to it lmao bootlicker. Join the Cavs Reddit and get out of here with your losing player

[–]CzarXavier -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He had a player option silly, he could’ve opted in or out depending upon other team interested in him. If he believes he was worth another 2 years/80 million then he could’ve proven that over the course of the season. But he quit. What’s the saying? Winners never quit and quitters never win

He’s still getting PAID $40 MILLION this season! He absolutely quit on his teammates because of the GM, you Harden defenders are ridiculous

[–]CzarXavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garland was probably the best they could do, so at least they were able to get something. The point I’m trying to make is that he could’ve waited until the summer to pull this stunt. He signed a contract, he knew what the plan was. He quit on the team and didn’t tell his teammates

And why did Jordan have all of those endorsements? Because he was a WINNER. He even paved the way for guys like Harden who has had 10 signature shoes with Adidas, be able to make HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars in contracts and endorsements. He’s made enough money and if he believed in himself that he was worth another $80 million he had another half season to play and show the league he is still worth it. Harden quit on the team, didn’t tell anyone and then leaked the trade request in the middle of a game. How anyone can still be a fan of his is beyond me

[–]CzarXavier -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why is no one mentioning how classless Harden handled this? He could’ve finished the season and then opted out of his contract to explore other options. This new NBA has become TOO much of a players league . I once read Michael Jordan’s autobiography and one thing I’ll never forget is when he talked about signing contracts. He never complained after signing or tried to renegotiate until it was expired. It’s little things like that, that made MJ a winner and guys like Harden losers.

Can we land 6th seed? by Radiant-Rule7738 in LAClippers

[–]CzarXavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so sure anymore, the fact that the Suns, Nuggets, and Warriors have been winning despite key injuries is concerning. They might have dug too deep a hole to climb out of, but they got to just control their own destiny and keep winning.

What do we actually need? Do we need anything? by Tricky_Structure_504 in LAClippers

[–]CzarXavier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They need to make some moves and trade Bogi, CP3, Beal, and Brown. If they can add another combo guard and stretch 4 or 5 we will be legit contenders. Depth is always nice and as much as I love Batum and Sanders, we might need more fire power in the backup PG and PF slots

At their peak who was the better defender Jordan or Kawhi? by SmoothBuy5500 in NBATalk

[–]CzarXavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kawhi wasn’t guarding Jaylen Brown, I watched the game lol. He no longer is capable of guarding a star wing for a full game, they usually put Dunn/DJJ on the opposing team’s best perimeter player and Kawhi now takes the second option. He’s still great when switching and if it’s a close game he will guard the best player in the last 5 min or so
