LOL, I'm going to go to the game on Wednesday, but I won't boo a Fresno State guy. I'm one of the few Clipp fans who wish PG all the best. Hope we wipe the floor with them tho.

No disrespect to you but you seem to have a thing for bottom feeders whose careers have already been decided
Bones is on the bench for a reason
A planet fitness membership is not the reason
You watch Maxey & Quick play you’ll hear multiple references to their foot speed
Bones is not fast at all
If Bones was more athletically gifted you could live with some of his decision making
A team in win now mode isn’t playing Brandon Boston Jr. god bless em & hopefully he pans out
The only two people that proved their worth as rotational pieces when given chances were Coffey & Hartenstein
Bones is whatever, and I get that we were a contending team the last few years, but BBJ is exactly what this team needs right now. A guy that can get his own shot and his defense has improved. You have him in two for four years and you let him go when PG walks, you trade Westbrook, and Kawhi might be done? You could've signed BBJ for cheap, 2 years/$8 million with the 2nd year being a team option. Typical Clipper developmental dungeon. Jordan Miller will blossom on another team as well. And I don't know why they're trying to sell us on Cam Christie and Trent Flowers by giving them deals.
I just can't watch Mann starting and not facing the basket let alone not shooting the ball. Coffey won't shoot 8/10 on a nightly basis but will he look for his shot against Philly tomorrow or is that a one time thing in what we saw against the Spurs last night? The way the rotation is set, the wins can come if there's some scoring from either Mann, Coffey, or Derrick Jones Jr. If not then there's losses. I just like Bones because he'll shoot -a little too much at times- and we need scoring badly. And its time for Miller to get his shot as well. But Mann and DJJ in the starting lineup is a disaster scoring wise. Mann's defense is way overrated too.

He might not have wanted to be here.
Is Mann's not defending at a high level he's pointless.
Of course he wanted to be here. He was technically out of the league once we let him go. They just had a short segment on him on Sirius XM- NBA Radio on how the Pels found a gem and he'll be sticking around. But whatever. I digress. The Clipps can't develop a soul. The same thing will happen to Jordan Miller once he leaves the Clipps. I have no ideal why they gave Cam Christie a roster spot and Flowers a two-way deal when nothing will come of it knowing Ty Lue.

I mean he's not here. Unless you have a source or something I don't think it's a given. Hed been here for a while without a clear path to minutes.
It was a contract year for him last year and the team wasn't going to resign him to a new deal. He was expendable in their eyes and cut ties with him which made him technically out of the league for a brief spell. It wasn't a 'he wanted out' situation like he's a star player. You're saying a fringe role player would rather be let go and not have certainty as to what's next career wise as opposed to having a NBA contract and stability?

I'm saying it's entirely plausible he and his representation were confident a deal/situation preferable to the Clippers. They didn't just spring it on him and Klutch they weren't going to make an offer I'm sure they'd been negotiating. If you know he's not going to accept it you wouldn't make the offer.
The front office is not infallible. There's plenty of shyt they've done wrong. I'm not convinced not coming to an agreement with Boston is one of them, especially if we don't know whether Boston wanted a different situation.
Do you have info that they were in negotiating? I really don't understand what you're saying. That's like all these people that are being laid off by Pepsi this past week. Wouldn't they rather have a job than heading into the holiday season unemployed and not sure what's going to happen next? Its like the Lakers are not picking up Hood-Shiffino's last year of his rookie contract meaning their letting him go in free agency. Now he's probably stressed and has to ball out to show other teams his worth in hopes they'll pick him up next season.
There's not many open roster spaces in league anymore. Boston was out of a job, but got an invite to the Spurs camp, they cut him, and a week ago the Pels picked him up and signed him to a two-way deal and is now getting some run and making the most of it because they have injuries. Good for him but that's not the outcome most players get once they're released. So I don't know what you're getting at, like he had infinite choices from other teams and was content with the Clippers letting him go.

What I'm getting at is that we don't know the circumstances of Boston's departure from the team. Just as likely that the Clippers let go of some diamond in the rough (When has this happened? Robinson, Otoru, Diabate, Scrubb, Keon Johnson?) is that Boston and his team saw the path to minutes here was non-existent.
What really doomed his fate was Christie, Miller, and KPJ.
But for a players team to feel like there's opprotunity elsewhere, there would have to be interest from other teams and then he would have some leverage. Just like with PG. Clipps couldn't agree to a price because Philly was already on record to max him out so PG had options. There was no other team in the mix for BBJ. Clipps didn't resign him and he was back at home waiting for a phone call from somebody-anybody for a camp invite. If BBJ had other suitors waiting in the wings then the headline would've went, "I can't believe the Clipps let PG walk and didn't resign BBJ". Its water under the bridge.
-Agreed with Christie, Miller, KPJ, and Trent Flowers additions making him expendable.

I just think the way Klutch moves they could have been confident that he'd get picked up somewhere. Boston has shown enough to get a look. Now the fact that he'd prefer to go this route than take whatever the clippers may have offered (if they offered anything) is a whole other discussion.
I say Frank gets 2-3 more years before he's fired. I hope he's not replaced with Bob Myers.
