Did y ‘all hear this story on Jason Kidd? Good thing we did not hire him

I read the new Giannis biography that is coming out tomorrow. My biggest takeaway is that Jason Kidd should not be be allowed to be around other people let alone coach an NBA team. The worst story is his response to a team loss on the day before Christmas Eve. pic.twitter.com/SYdwfX3t9t

I saw that and that is a whole bunch of yikes.

When you been a losing team for ten years and had to trade away 3 franchise players... It make plenty of sense. It's how the media portrays bad franchise that stay bad. Just don't take it personally and understand it goes away when we start winning.

My bad. I didn?t realize you were speaking from the media?s perspective. Now it makes sense lol

I don ‘ t guess Reddick returns to Dallas. LOL , Can you imagine if Kidd brings his nutty behavior to that big mouth?

[Fedupfan]

Sign JJ. Clearly the guy misses the Pels.

[msusousaphone]

Bring J Reddik back.

Not sure how this benefits the Clips.

[ozwego15]

i am surprised Bledsoe has that much value

[Taker597]

Lowers tax bill lol

[Eman5805]

Since Bledsoe is alone, this a separate trade from us?

[PELSGIRL]

Wait, so this is apart of our deal?

[Pelifan]

think I would have preferred this deal for the Pels over the Memphis one. even if you keep none of those players

[As I See It]

Lol. Bad move on the clips part.

Why didn't the Pels get in on this deal?

[PELSGIRL]

Why didn't the Pels get in on this deal?

That's what I'm wondering has the Memphis deal been finalized for us? Can we get in on this?

[Butters]

Would the Pels have interest in Rondo or Beverly?

[bradael]

Clippers probably wanted to wait to make sure Kawhi re-signed before they did this. They save like $30m in luxury tax with Kawhi probably out all this year.

Hopefully Griffin has something up his sleeve with the TPE. Otherwise, it could look bad that he could have gotten Rondo and Beverly for Bledsoe instead of giving up a 1st rounder to Memphis to take him. Rondo could have been our veteran presence in the locker room and we would not have had to spend $15 million on a 3 year deal for Temple. Beverly could have been a valuable PG who could instill a defensive mindset in our players and can hit the 3. So, it is really a matter of what Griffin does with the TPE the trade created to see if he made the right call.

So can we still get Bev or Rondo w/ the TPE created or no?

[PELICANSFAN]

Technically, one or the other. Not both. Do you think they would give us our 1st rounder back to take them?

That wasn't the entirety of the trade though. We also got a significant upgrade going from Adams to Jonas and the 2 year contract Adams had for the expiring of Jonas.

I had to check if this was April the 1st when I first heard this news. Clips got clipped.

[PELICANSFAN]

And we also dropped from 10 to 17 as a result of that.

[pelafanatic]

And we also dropped from 10 to 17 as a result of that.

And still got the player we wanted at 10. Who cares about Pat Beverly and Rondo? Didn't we learn our lesson with Bledsoe? Those guys wouldnt give a crap if they came to Nola. You guys really wanted to take on an additional 10 million in order to get off Bledsoe?

[Pels4Life]

And we also dropped from 10 to 17 as a result of that.

hindsight is 20/20
