Aww look at how much a father cares about his son.

These past three seasons are probably the most he has ever been around Austin and he wants to cherish these moments while they last.

If Doc actually turned down a Carmelo for Crawford/Rivers/Pierce trade, then he should be fired ASAP.

I assume Pierce was just salary filler and they would have taken somebody else in his stead. To not make that trade is egregious

How did the Clippers manage to make themselves the most loathesome team despite not being a superteam and being a historically downtrodden franchise

I'm relieved that it was just the one-year opt-in for Paul. When I saw the headline, I assumed he agreed to an extension first. At least if it doesn't work out, they can start over again next year. If they get Paul George, I'll be as excited for the Rockets as I am for the Astros right now (knowing they have legit chance to win, but struggling with the "Houston sports" mindset). If they get Melo, ehhh... He played well when D'Antoni was with the Knicks, right?

Harrell is a nice energy big, he could have some upside. A bunch of rockets fans have a boner for Wiltjer but hes probably your typical fringe nba/d league type who might at best be a rotation player eventually.

Anyway, cool.

Notably two of the supposed filler types Morey traded for aren't involved? Could mean more to come?

I don't know. Would DeAndre Jordan have made the allstar team without a Chris Paul running the pick and roll?

The Lob City did get the attention, but Jordan's strength was in his rebounding and defense. Still, attention getting is part of what helps you get on the All-Star team.
