Los Angeles Clippers

Chris Paul is excited to return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Don’t underestimate the power of excitement. It’s always better than hearing “Oh crap, I’m still playing here?” According to Arash Markazi of ESPN Los Angeles, Paul harbors no such resentment or regret about remaining in Los Angeles: “I’m excited,” Paul told ESPNLosAngeles.com. “I’m excited [...]

Kevin Garnett can’t become a member the Los Angeles Clippers, but maybe he can join the Brooklyn Nets. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, Nets general manager Billy King made a call to the Boston Celtics to inquire about Garnett’s desire to play in Brooklyn: Multiple sources told the Daily News [...]

Chris Paul was never going to join Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. Never, ever. Now that Doc Rivers has joined the Los Angeles Clippers, we can finally accept that. The Boston Celtics agreed to part ways with their long-time head coach in exchange for an unprotected first-round draft pick from the Clippers in [...]

Paul Pierce won’t necessarily be following Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers to Los Angeles. Talks between the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics about a deal that would land Garnett and Rivers in Hollywood and DeAndre Jordan, among others in Beantown are ongoing, but you get the sense that a resolution will be reached soon.

Like the Boston Celtics aren’t already linked to enough mayhem.

Phil Jackson won’t be coaching the Los Angeles Clippers because, well, that would be creepy. The Clippers agreed to part ways with head coach Vinny Del Negro—whose contract was up—on Tuesday, paving the way for them to hire anyone they wanted—so long as Donald Sterling was willing to actually pay them and Chris Paul approved. [...]

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have Dirk Nowitzki’s approval. Which should come as no surprise. After missing the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks are going to be doing some serious name chasing this summer, and what better names to chase than the two best free agents available? Speaking on Dallas’ offseason plans, Nowitzki endorsed the Mavericks [...]

Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has no illusions about his current team. Though the Celtics came back from a 3-0 series deficit to bring the New York Knicks to a Game 6 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, Ainge knows that he doesn’t have a contender on his hands. He also knows [...]

Maybe Chris Paul isn’t such a flight risk after all. Following the Los Angeles Clippers’ first-round exit at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies, I was of the mind that Paul would consider spurning Hollywood for a different locale. And I still am. Fellow Clipper Matt Barnes, however, is not. Speaking with ESPNLA 710, Barnes [...]

And you thought Dwight Howard was indecisive. Phil Jackson remains a sought after head coach. How could he not? He’s won 11 titles as a sideline stalker and in 20 years on the job, he’s never once coached a team to a record below .500. Teams want that type of resume in their locker room. [...]
