If Jackson could trade Zinger for Blake Griffin and his KIA, then he'd do it in a heartbeat.
But the Knicks cannot trade for Griffin as long as Rose's cap hold stays on the roster. When Rose signed that mega deal with the Bulls, he was signed with the designated accelerator in the contract. So was Griffin, by way of the CBA, you can't have two of those kind of players on your roster the same time. The Rose situation would need to be settled before any discussion of a Griffin trade would start. And the Clippers would never make that deal.
Redick is a different story. Redick operationally raises a massive luxury tax question for Steve Ballmer. He did not spend 2 billion to avoid the luxury tax, but Redick going all the way into his age 38 year on a contract that sinks that team, is a massive competitive and financial double hit.
Clippers are stuck. They are past their functional window of opportunity and now all they can do is let that roster die real slow and sign Griffin and Paul to mega money because there aren't really any other options.
Mark Cuban came as close as any of the other owners to basically saying Donald Sterling got railroaded. He might be a jerk, a racist, a thief or anything else you can call him, but the NBA saw a chance to raise the valuation of all franchises with a record sale price and jobbed him of his franchise. (Where was the outrage for the last 20 years before that?) Ballmer is getting a soon to be broken team, that's what he gets. Karma.
Balmer is Doc Rivers ATM. They will likely spend their way out until they can get hold of their draft picks.
Not loving their assets, and I don't care about their cap, but Melo there with Griff, Jordan, and CP3 take them over the top?
Only if SAS rebuilds and GSW trades Thompson and either Curry or Durant gets hurt.
Plausible. Then you have to run with Rockets.

That roster would be so clumsy it wouldn't be funny..Where are the guards and absorbing 4 players making over 20 million, your going to have trash for the rest of the roster, with very little margin for error, like injuries for one.

There is a rumor that he was going to keep the missed meeting in house but changed his mind after Phil's press conference.

I have doubts the two are related but who knows.

He hasn't said anything.
ESPN released an article where his representatives said it so it's basically him saying it.
Thank goodness he was on hand to notice and delete it so quickly. Strange that someone would go to all the trouble of hacking his account just to post "LA Clippers" and three smiley faces...
He was on hand to delete it pretty quickly after it got posted but if he was supposedly sleeping when the tweet got posted then how did he delete it if he was sleeping?? Hmmmmmmmmmm

Simple - he's hanging with some buddies- goes to the bathroom- they grab his phone and add the tweet. He's like - WTF- deletes it.
