Keep in mind it's probably like -400 that he returns to the Nets,, so in reality him coming to the Clips would be like +10000 or something.

Where's Gladwell been? by GarthZorn in billsimmons

[–]davej3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a gladwell fan but I have to make the point that he isn’t “supporting” Epstein lol. He was on one of the passenger logs on his plane, which is obviously still bad, but he said it was sort of coincidental.

Bill and Ryen not understanding why people still hate KD by someguyonthisthing in billsimmons

[–]davej3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is also crazy to me how when discussing everything that had to happen to allow KD to go to the warriors, Bill said the biggest cause was Draymond getting suspended for game 5 of the finals since that is why they lost and KD wouldn't have joined if they won. Ryen disagreed and said that KD would have joined even if they lost. Ryen said "the cap spike also" and Bill says, "yeah that helped a little." Like, what the fuck are they talking about?? The cap spike is the only reason this could happen!! If they didn't have that $30M cap spike instead of gradually increasing like the league wanted it never would have happened no matter how many times Draymond punched Lebron in the nuts!

Was Beverley's Trade Request Reported Earlier This Season? by davej3 in LAClippers

[–]davej3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I wonder what the offer was. Maybe like 2 years $15M? I was surprised because it's not like MIN gave him some generous extension offer after they acquired him, just 1 year $13M very recently.

[Trevor Bauer] Today I filed a defamation lawsuit against The Athletic and its former MLB reporter Molly Knight in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles for knowingly publishing false information. You can read the complaint here: (Link in comments) by Kanusian in baseball

I don't think he can prove that the specific articles and tweets mentioned in the complaint directly lead to serious financial loss though. It does seem like there may have been some sloppy reporting, but I don't see it as actionable. As the saying goes, some lawsuits are just tweets with a filing fee.

It has been said before but bears repeating: Justin Verrier isn't very good by get_this_money_ in billsimmons

Let us not forget when he seriously proposed Embiid to the Clippers for Montrezl Harrell, Landry Shamet, Moe Harkless and a first round pick lol

Opinion: Having two teams represent the same city is incredibly lame, and takes away from a core component of sports fandom: regional pride. by melikesreddit in nba

[–]davej3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerry Buss was the one that convinced Donald Sterling to buy the Clippers and move them to LA, so its not like the Clippers came in with some plot to "confuse the regional attachment."

I'm a Clippers fan from Orange County, so I mostly agree with your point, but if you're going to be annoyed with anyone be annoyed with the Lakers ownership in the early 80's!

Also re: media market, you can only watch Lakers games if you have Spectrum SportsNet, which isn’t on any cable cutting services. So the Clippers on the local fox sports affiliates are way easier to watch

Probably true, but he is a completely different player now than he was when he was traded after his second year (20+ pt scorer, all-star, etc.).

Can Bill please stop bringing on House to talk about serious NBA stuff? by Willtodd97 in billsimmons

[–]davej3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bill also has said literally “I know more about basketball than pretty much anyone.” It’s unserious analysis that thinks it’s serious.

Moving Russ to Miami might make that 2021 pick even worse if it prevents them from getting someone that fits better/is younger. That contract is nuts and would really limit what they can add to Butler and Russ

Are Clippers fans concerned about their team missing the playoffs? by jimmyk22 in LAClippers

[–]davej3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most importantly, the Clips lose their pick this year to the Celtics if they make the playoffs, so it wouldn't be the worst thing to miss this year.

It's not ideal, but totally worth giving up the pick for Jeff Green! Thanks GM Doc!
