Ridiculous Twitter Thread From Someone Reportedly Associated With The Clippers Accuses Ty Lue Of Throwing The Season To Troll The Front Office
Fair warning this is a long thread, but it's worth it. Long story short - the Clippers are a fucking disaster.
Now before I talk about the tweets, it's worth mentioning it appears to be real:
So there at least appears to be some truth to these tweets. Not necessarily that all are true or without hyperbole - like Ty Lue throwing games. But what an accusation. Of course it's the Clippers too. They will always be the Clippers - by that I mean, the one team you never take serious. They go out and get Kawhi and Paul George and never got to the Finals. They had the group with Doc Rivers, never got to the Finals. They will always just be the lovable losers.
That said if Ty Lue was purposely trolling the front office, I'd laugh my ass off. That's a great move for a guy who doesn't want to be there and hates what the front office was trying to make him do. You can't substitute for a coach in-game, so watch this. That would be the funniest move of this all if true.
As for everything else? It seems about right. Guys want trades all the time, doesn't mean it happens. The Kawhi situation is weird. Everything about his injury history - going back to San Antonio - has been weird. You never know what exactly is going on and it was announced he had a torn meniscus.
Apparently the privacy thing is not true though. This is out there:
But everything else? That doesn't seem to be disputed too much. At least not from people who Clippers fans trust.
You got Robert Covington and Terrance Mann apparently tweeting out cries for help. One of the more hilarious twitter thread accusations I can remember. Only the Clippers man.
