EMC posted:Ballmer is a crazy person but he seems like a pretty awesome owner, wants to win and happy to put up cash to try and get there. I thought his podcast earlier this year with Simmons was really great. Hey, compared to the crazy person he bought the team from? I mean, c'mon. Fast Luck posted:The other owners are probably actually really pissed at Ballmer right now. I wonder if that's a subtle slap from Seattle boy Steve at the backstabbing squinty scoundrel Clayton Bennett.

NeuroticErotica posted:It's mixed with him as an owner. He probably trusted Doc too much. Everything in the Ballmer era feels weird. The Clippers have always been LA's second team, but now it feels like they've really doubled down on being the generic brand. The logos, the uniforms. Chuck the Condor really represents the Ballmer era so well. He feels contrived and focused grouped, yet not really targeting anything. He's also a giant ad for Converse. From his name to his design, it's all an ad. For all the research the did on Chuck, they gave him no lovable qualities. There's nothing to like about Chuck. He has no personality. He's not Cuddly, or Funny, or Anything. He's a mascot for the sake of having a mascot. Everything inside the Staples center has now become an advertisement. Not like the usual stuff - like the Half Court shot to win a Toyota Tundra from Johnny Mnemonic Toyota - like during timeouts now, they'll play ads on the jumbotrons, or, have blatant ad performances on the court. They had one for some razor scooter knockoff and it was basically "Well Chuck likes riding it". They had one for swiffers that was just little kids coming out to dancing with swiffers. Some adults joined them with their own swiffers. When they were walking off the court you could see them just shaking their heads. As an official old person my hot take- pause, ok we know old people have lukewarm takes at best because- Chuck the Condor needs to go Old School with a long Z Z Top beard and a toy lawnmower that he pushes maniacally around during timeouts and then vaults over the mower handle, does a 360 in the air, splits his pants into 2 pieces, which then fall around his ankles, and slams a ball into the net......kind of like I did on that tricked out BSA 35 years ago, except there was no basketball, no net, and I was going maybe 40mph...bonus points if he wipes out a newly planted tree.

G-Hawk posted:i would be sad to lose Beverley he is pretty great and (if you're a Rockets fan) likeable, but his value has likely peaked or close. Hes fairly injury prone and has maybe a few decent seasons left. I don't really want to lose him for nothing, but if it leads to landing a star, welp I hate Beverley, but if he's not the poster boy for Houston's version of Grit n Grind, idk what is. Morey should at least keep one defender.

Redgrendel2001 posted:He's really good and a perfect player for a modern big, but I'm wary of his health. He sprints down the court and takes cuts that can't be healthy for someone who's 7'3". He's a kid that hasn't grown into his frame or the NBA grind. I think he's made it clear he's not happy with N.Y.

Lockback posted:I have no idea what the scouting looked like in the mid-80s but Stockton was a 6'1" unathletic guard who really only had one fantastic year at Gonzaga. Malone came from Louisana Tech and was sorta noteable for getting worse each year in college, his final year stats were not mind-blowing. Malone dominated a 3 time consensus All-American Wayman Tisdale in the NCAA's. OU had better support players, Louisiana Tech were trash. It was obvious from that he was next-level talent, he was a beast. Kobe, iirc, was an unknown child of huge potential except for some tryouts.

Finally dawned on me what that was. That cupcake needs to be a Judas biscuit, but with a ring on it. You know, the biscuit Judas was nabbing at the Last Supper when he thought no one was watching, but Jesus said, "Heh, the guy who's filching that last bagel and thinks nobody sees, I and the Father see all, and he's the rat."

He's like that weird kid on the playground that talks too much and lies about everything. Great GM though. Except the kid's parents are rich as gently caress so no one knows what's what.
