Austin Rivers is the starting point for Clippers are you kidding me?

What does Phil being a hall of famer have to do with this present situation? He's been awful. Whatever talent he had as a coach clearly didn't translate to the front office position.
Also think the game just passed him by. Things have changed a fair amount since his last stint in LA.
edit: WOW @ CP3 news.

AND DANTONI IS A POINT GOD WHISPERER
It's funny that he left Boston because he didn't want to do a rebuild and now Boston is in a better position than his Clippers.

This offseason is nuts
protections are no good, we're probably not getting a pick.
I think it's lottery protected

2019 pick that's lottery protected for two years and then turns into a second.

Crazy to think Clips got a bigger return for an actual UFA in Chris Paul than the Bulls got for Butler with 2 years left on his contract

Ball dominant player who is historically great at mid range jumpers joins team with ball dominant player at same position that treats mid range jumpers like the plague.
I don't get it, but I like it!

It makes no sense to me to talk about Phil and not mention:
* He seemed to care more about rehabilitating the reputation of the triangle offense than rehabilitating the Knicks.
* He thought KP shooting threes was "cheap points" and meant that in a bad way.
* He acted like KP skipping the exit meeting justified trading him. A feud with the future of the franchise over some petty minor shit.
I'll even grant that in the Phil era, the Knicks made good drafts.

I'd rather have the 7th pick than anything LAC got I just wouldnt have used it to take Finnish Channing Frye.

If they keep Blake I think this works. Blake and CP3 were incompatible.

Yeah, if bulls made better use of their pick this wouldn't be close to true, and even still, if lavine recovers well from his injury it won't be true
Im going to miss Beverley so fucking much man. Don't even know how to describe it, he's my favorite player in the league

They got an actual draft pick and not a swap (albeit it wont be very good). Lavine is coming off an ACL tear, Clips can trade Beverley in 6 months to like 25 different teams in the league who would want him (2 / 11 on his deal is insane). Same with LouWill and Dekker. Kris Dunn will have no trade value in 6 months because he sucks. And CP3 was an actual free agent, not locked into 2 bargain years like Butler.
Under that. Easily.

A few things.
1. Harden has his nasty step back jumper, he just stopped using it as much
2. D'Antoni talked about the need for more ball handlers and a more dynamic offense. Come playoffs, and the total reluctance to use mid-range shots meant our offense was very stale and predictable. You have to make teams pay for only defending the rim and perimeter
3.oh my fucking god everyone is going to hate the rockets so fucking much next year
4. Morey goes after talent first. We went after Aldridge and melo. Chris Paul's mid range shot is efficient as hell
5. During all the hubbub about cp3, rockets fans looked into it and found that harden was actually really efficient playing off the ball
6. You have to remember, Beverley wasn't that good a ball handler for a long time, ty Lawson was ty Lawson, Jason Terry was ridiculously old, Lin and harden in 2013 and 2014 werent pass focused point guards, etc. CP3 is the first point guard of his type to play with harden
7. Most of all, this is the first time since maybe Nash + Joe Johnson/point Boris Diaw that D'Antoni has had two elite playmakers to try and make his offense so much more versatile
Austin is the next Jaysong TatumAustin Rivers, I always believed.
