Maybe Doc thought he was getting the old Pistons "Bad Boys" team to protect Austin from CP3 and the Rockets when they play next. Blake left town rather than deal with Chris and the boys. Doc has Metta on speed dial now. Charles Oakley be brought in on the coaching bench too to do a run to protect Austin.

lol Blake said the Clippers didn't even bother calling him to inform him of the trade, he found out on twitter. I have a feeling he's going to inform the Pistons of the secret tunnel to the Clippers locker room.

Steve Balmer must have went to the Eric Bischoff school of employee management where you fire your employees without a courtesy call first.

"Steve...or should I say Micros-a-w-f-t Steve you can't take away my players registration cause I'm in F'n Detroit!!!!"

Some heavy talk about LeBron and his future with the Cavs. Story is he's cussed out two executives and is trying to assert control over the organisation. Its also heavily rumored he maybe looking for the exit door. Some major sports media outlets speculating on trades. Talk about going to LA with the Lakers, the Spurs have been brought up to but he'd be a cog in Pops system. A major cog but one who wouldnt have the sway he has in Cleveland. I wouldn't be surprised if Bron goes back to Miami either and be part of the management organisation with Pat Riley when he retires.

LeBron has to be going at the end of the season. Seems he strategically put IT to the Lakers if that's going to be his destination. If Celtics Thomas comes back LA have a potentially real good team. Could be LBJ going back to Miami and his buddy Dwayne there waiting with a welcome party.

:lol: K-Lo will be wanting to move back to Minnesota than play in Cleveland. TWolves with Kev would make the playoffs (8th seed most likely) but worse case scenario now is Cavs implode in the 1st or 2nd round and LeBron takes his talents back to South Beach.

And the Grizzlies were the anti-Cavs, they got some good deal offers from the Sixers, Celtics, Nuggets and Wizards for Tyreke Evans and shot them down. And he really wanted to go to Philly because he's from there and being a 76er was his dream since he was 4 years old.

Also tonight is the Clippers vs Pistons. Blake will be out for revenge. He already said yesterday he has no friends over there tonight. And the Pistons really look like contenders now. And he seems happy over there. The people of Detroit are treating him like a king because they're so happy to have him, and he's 5-0 with them and bring used right.

That was a cool dunk, Larry Nance Jr wanted to win that dunk contest bad though since his pops did back in 84.

Ugh, that was a national anthem rendition so bad Trump would kneel in protest. There was also a crowd shot of Jimmy Kimmel looking like he was trying not to laugh at her.
