Answering Your BIGGEST Questions About The NBA Right Now - From the Philippines

we don't know when Brandon Ingram is going to be on the floor for the Clippers that's obviously not a situation they're going to rush him back from um I like the Rui Hachimura signing and to be honest with you one reason I really like that signing is because Wendy what do you always ask when a contract is signed.

Can you trade it?

And Rui Hachimura, I think, has a very tradable contract for a Clippers team that, look, they're not contending this year.

Windhorstattractiveness that los angeles gives and they are going to have salary cap space next year and they're sure not going to be drafting anybody anytime soon so you might as well try to sign somebody so i suspect that they will be active in that market going forward and keep that in mind. And I did feel bad for Trent Redden, their acting GM, because he's like, oh, I just got named GM.

WindhorstYou know, this is the day that you're supposed to like have your family. You've worked your whole career to be general manager. You know, you're gonna get to have like a cake and a party and nice photos. And you post, you know, nice pictures. And he's like, not only do I have to come out and talk about this historic penalty, but then I got to tell all of our fans and drop in there.
