Blake: “[Ballmer] can build a new arena, be at games, cheer on the team…but at the end of the day, an organization is built on a foundation of respect & it’s built on how you treat people & I don’t think that in this situation Chris was treated right. I’m sorta at a loss for words a little bit.”

  3. remember guys, billionaires don’t even care about the multi-million dollar athletes they signed, why would they ever care about you

  4. You can’t throw money at all your problems Mr Ballmer.

    You have to slide it under the table like with Kawhi.

  5. Blake Griffin is honestly the best retired NBA personality right now. Don’t really have much of an opinion on the CP3 stuff but he is great on whatever medium he is on

  7. Blake is probably the person I want to hear the most speak on everything concerning the Clippers

  9. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects their ability to sign free agents.

    They’ll still get them, but will probably have to overpay (maybe under the table, like with Kawhi). And they won’t get an ounce of good faith when it comes to team friendly contracts.

  10. Imagine alienating not one but two of the most important people to ever play for your team.

  11. what a great start to my day, sipping coffee while seeing/reading people shitting on the Clippers. Can’t get any better than that.

  13. Clippers have the longest postseason appearances streak and yet they fucked up so bad in just one season from Aspiration to the CP3 situation and assembling the AARP team off the year the youngest team ever won the title 

  16. Not a fan or hater of CP3 but the way the NBA has ignored the tree thing with Khawi and then this, it does make the organization look bad.

  18. Timeout, how is he shocked by this lmfao. They showed you firsthand this is their MO

  19. Idc how shitty CP3 was, this whole situation is the definition of bad optics.

    You simply DONT understand ANY circumstance cut the guy who is arguably the GOAT of your franchise while he’s on his retirement tour.

  20. I’m just gonna repeat once again that the Spurs started CP3 for 82 games. Could have had him come off the bench but kept their word that they wouldn’t do that even after Castle took off and Fox got traded to the team.

  23. I have no dog in the fight, but from what I’ve heard CP3 is a grade-A asshole and has burnt bridges at literally every stop of his career.

    Why is everyone acting like the Clippers are entitled to put up with his shit if he was not worth the hassle?

  24. Typical billionaire sht. Creating a facade of competency, but take a look inside and it’s all toxic waste.

  25. In the end, if you didn’t expect CP to be CP, you’re incompetent for signing him. It’s only snowballed from that inflection point. It’s moron’s all the way down that corporate ladder.

  26. If anyone knows about disrespect from the Clippers it’s Blake. I won’t lie i’m not the biggest Chris Paul fan and even less of a Clipper fan, but seeing them treat Chris like this just rubs me the wrong way. He stuck with them and at got them a lot of fans with the lob city days so just doesn’t make sense to part ways like this

  27. This is why the Clippers will never win shit and will forever be the laughing stock of LA.

  28. it’s fascinating how as a player I always thought of Blake as a sort of dumb jock who no one takes seriously, but as a commentator his arguments have been extremely nuanced, more so than many other commentators who you would have higher expectations of. This clip, plus another one from a month or two ago where he had Haslem on and was talking about Miami culture, both have been on point.

  29. Being the most generous possible to the org and thinking maybe Chris said some wild shit consistently? They still are fucking morons for not looking at the PR of HOW they did it. 3AM in fucking Atlanta? A circus run by clowns

  31. Blake needed to say it, said it measured and has the receipts to hammer the point home. He was done dirty in the worst possible way. Ballmer looks like a fool and deservedly so.

  36. Yea so about that cap circumvention… Anyone remember that? Anyone?

    What a masterclass in sweeping it under the rug. Kawhi and ballmer should be gone for years and while this investigation is taking place. What a joke. If you don’t have a concrete reason right now slap conduct detrimental to the league. What an unserious sport.

  37. CP3 100% had to have said some shit about Ty Lue being a gambling degenerate. Otherwise I don’t get this.

  38. Steve Ballmer is the ultimate fail-up white guy. He’s actually good at nothing. Even with the infinite money code, he somehow isn’t good at cheating. This bum is that dumb.
