On another note, What's with Balmer flooding Southern California with this "LA our way" propaganda? Along with numerous billboards he has infiltrated the MTA, and he has even gotten to the school systems, as they are giving away free backpacks with the Clipper emblem on it. |

I think it's great they're giving out a million free backpacks to students from low-income neighborhoods. Hard to imagine how anyone can be against that. |

As someone who shares Collison's beliefs, I can unequivocally say that he did not stay retired due to a bribe to his religious organization. It's clear you do not know what those beliefs are if you actually think money has anything to do with it. _________________ Don't make me give you a trout slap! |

By the way, Ballmer is not a crooked man. This thread is silly town. |

It depends how you define in our heads.
If it’s a real threat in terms of having the richest owner who is obsessed with winning the chip, a complete 180 from the embarrassing Donald Sterling Clippers then yes they have most Lakers fans attention. At least the ones that see Ballmer makes them a credible, title contending threat.
The people hoping this is the Sterling (bleep) show are going to be disappointed. I really hope Jeanie and Company aren’t relying on “well we are still the Lakers.” |

Oh of course we ought to take the Clippers seriously.
But conspiracy theories like this one is what I mean, and on a different level than simply being concerned with how to deal with them on the court. _________________ Clippers are our Daddy. |

The Hornets don't live right next door, and they aren't in obvious competition for the players we want. |

I’m not talking about Clipper discussion.
I’m talking about CDS. _________________ Clippers are our Daddy. |

Yeah I know tin foil hat theories abound and I think most of it is joking or half joking.
Imo this is simply Collison just not having his heart into it and respect for letting all parties know.
As for Ballmer, this is a competitive business and he will bend and cheat as much as he can just like Red Auerbach did back in the day and I’m sure other owners have done as well, including Dr. Buss. |
