[305Baller]

Clippers acquire CP in an attempt to perform a superteam and his ego and playing a system that isn't custom-built for him results in his exposure as a cancer and empty state phony, leading the Clippers straight to the lottery despite a Gordon/Griffin/Jordan base.

-The players who got some play time overseas are going to dominate the beginning of the season

-Batum candidate for MIP

-Laughing at the Nuggets who still have their best players playing in China
