Various versions of the article exist but JJ Redick basically went on the radio yesterday and gave the Clippers an F in free agency.  Actually his response was "Is there an F-minus?"

Never a good idea to bash your boss on national radio.  Good call JJ Redick

It is a good idea if you hope to get traded.

He's right. Good for him. Since free agents can't actually sign until tomorrow, Pierce should back out of his agreement now that the Clippers lost Jordan. It makes no sense for him to go there. Doc should also understand if he does.

Good point on Pierce. Come back home Paul we need SF.

Whoa, there's so many ways he could have worded that without taking a jab at the FO, BUT I can understand the frustration of losing a big piece to the team.

Not sure about that F- comment. They did sign Pierce and traded for Stephenson. Perhaps he's frustrated because he sees his minutes squeezed with those two joining him and Crawford. Not many minutes to go around at the 2/3 spots.

In before "Redick clearly wants out, can the Celtics get him and a first rounder for James Young and Phil Pressey?"

That team is a bottom seed playoff team in the west right now. Bringing in LS is a bad move when he needs the ball in his hands and you have one of the best PGs in the league. ???

JJ should give them an F, I'd gladly take him and Crawford.  :)

Well the Cavs and Clips are supposedly talking about a Crawford for Haywood swap, depending on whether or not the Clips have another trade lined up to move Haywood.  I think the Clips were hoping to do that for Hibbert, but with him going to the Lakers I think that put that move on hold.

We'll.......Duck owns some of the responsibility for sure........

But......

The main culprit here without a shadow of a doubt is the higH strung CP3. And his mouth.

His personality of Alpha Dog is as bad as Kobe ,  his constant ranting and belittle ment  has assuredly turned off many of the players.

Doc is pretty good at controlling highly paid egos .......but CP3 and Kobe are over the top types. He has allowed CP3 to antagonize the rest of the team.

Now .......with out DJ .......the stress level increased 10X on everybody else , and Reddick understands the giant mouth of the west CP 3 will become even more untolerable  pushing everyone around.

Redick is smart to expose the problems .

He probably wants out , as Paul will become increased PItA  wanting to maintain the old level.

Redick and Doc are friends .....I think the out lash is directed at CP3 and Redicks Desire to see doc do something

Trade AB for Redick  :D

If you think that the Clippers had basically one prerogative this offseason -- resigning DeAndre -- an F- would make sense.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.
