I think the intrigue with the Clippers isn't whether the team decides to blow it up (they can't really afford to, as has been mentioned), but if the players who can leave think this roster has run its course and decide to go elsewhere

Hayward probably has more reason to gripe than Paul George does tbh (and neither one of them has a particularly compelling argument for edging out Butler)

These came directly after one another

"We need to give more opportunities to our lovely young players who can't shoot and don't play the way we want them to!"

In general, the whole line of "we need to find out what we've got in our young players!" is so stupid. Paxson makes it sound like the Bulls are an up-and-coming team but their "young players" are dudes like Cam Payne and Denzel Valentine whose ceilings are....not particularly high, and who you should not be building your team around developing

But they'll be adding the #17 pick this offseason! Young talent rules the day

Also, despite talking about how they simply don't have any flexibility right now, they also said they're almost definitely going to pick up Rajon Rondo's $13 million option

Two good playoff games made GarPax forget that he got benched during the season, clashed with Hoiberg and only earned his way back into the rotation because Michael Carter Williams was unplayable garbage

edit: And after talking poo poo on Fred, Paxson says he can't commit to building around Butler because...he doesn't fit with Fred's system (!!!)

At this point you just gotta hope that going to the Finals 1000 times in a row will actually eventually wear LeBron out sometime soon-ish, yeah? No point getting a year or two head start on your rebuild just because you're grumpy about the reality that 99% of NBA teams don't win a title

Appreciate the beautiful Lowry-Derozan friendship while you can and stop defining basketball success by titles

When even Wade's wife is talking about how washed he is, you know he's opting into the last year of his contract
