    Here we go with putting words in people's mouths again.

    If you can find where I said The Clippers have never done anything special and therefore that's why I have no faith in them, please do so.

    I will wait.

      I wouldn't mind picking up Rodney Stuckey on a MLE.

      I said before I would have liked to see that if they were going to make any move. Pretty sure he re-upped with Indy already though.

        Add damn, must have missed that. I've been kind of removed from staying updated on all the moves going on this summer.

          I think you misconstrued the meaning of my post. Text only does that sometimes.

          I was agreeing with your sentiment and saying that in those regards there are hardly any teams rosters that are noteworthy.

          With the exception of a select few.

            Lol at NBA.com

            It's been a blockbuster summer of acquisitions for the Clippers. Their latest addition? Josh Smith.

            It sounds like a joke but I guess it's not.

                Got it. Egg on my face as I completely misunderstood you.

                    That's really not a bad roster. Better than what they've had. Will they keep Davis? Smith, Davis, Aldrich would be the best depth they've had inside by a long shot.

                      The Clipps have the talent but I could never figure out what it is that keeps them from being great. I'm not sure they have it now, but they do have talent. I just wonder if they have enough outside of Blake, Paul, and Jordan. Lance and Pierce are complete question marks tbh and J-Smoove is hard to peg (maybe he plays like he did in Houston, maybe not).

                        I honestly forgot they have Pierce now. I don't know how I did.

                        I take back my comment.

Especially since there has been a number of folks (mostly outside OS but definitely here too) that wouldn't shut up about GS' health this year.

                          Yeah and the Warriors are probably a little deeper and more top heavy still as well.

                          I might give CP3 and Blake a slight edge over Curry and Klay, but after that GS is the better team from guys 3-13. Just as the were last year over any team in the league.

                            I think Spurs had a Laserdisc summer. A big deal for a short period of time, then people were desperate to move on to something more interesting. Clips nearly had a Betamax summer, tho.

                              I think the Spurs had the best free agency, even though they lost a lot of bench depth. Everyone that was lost - Splitter, Belinelli, Baynes, Joseph & Ayres (LOL at that last one) - is replaced by a player of better or comparable skill. Other than Belinelli's outside shooting, I think either Jonathan Simmons or Kyle Anderson will be a better fit with Ginobili, Mills, Diaw & West/Boban on the bench. Plus, they'll likely keep a spot open to try to see who is available during the season.
