What do you mean most people aren’t college roommates with Bill Gates?

There’s no way Ballmer would have amassed this much wealth, nor would today’s Silicon Valley tech monopolies –and the freaks that run them– wield such power over our economy, government, and society, if the Bush administration hadn’t settled the Microsoft antitrust case.

Elon is all the proof I needed that billionaires are not intelligent and think they are way smarter than they are

man the whole “u think balmer is that stupid” defense for the aspirations allegations was always so weird to me. ppl act like making it big meant u were some supergenius at everything or something

It’s a myth that billionaires are somehow superhuman smart.

There. Fixed it for you

This is something the average person loves to say when someone filthy rich fucks up. I’m not defending rich people one bit but damn some of you look silly

Truth, non-nuclear

Don’t forget connections. Billionaires usually have the powerful connections that gave them a leg up when they were starting. Many of them came from already wealthy families.

i was a contractor at one of the microsoft campuses when he was CEO. The super high ups don’t visit that area much but he did once while I worked there. We were instructed that if we saw him don’t even say hi, smile or even acknowledge him. Turns out that wasn’t an issue because he walked in, went directly to one conference room, met with people, ate lunch and then left immediately. But it was crazy that they had to say that to us.

Can’t believe the Nets are catching strays here.

Lue has been shit as a coach the last few years anyways. I swear he’s trying to get fired because he doesn’t want to be there. Dude just throws harden out there and says “win the game please” and that’s the extent of his coaching.

not even wait for the whole story to come out huh

I used to respect him as a coach, but now I don’t. 

Being a good NBA player translates less to coaching and despite looking like the fish from Spongbob he’s proven to be a good coach

He was widely regarded as a great coach for years prior to this season big dawg let’s not change history now

Having LeBron carry you out of a garbage conference vs actually having to coach in the west

I can’t tell if Ty Lue is actually any good as a coach. Sure, he coached Bron and then had really good success on the Clips for a while but was that roster construction?

Who cares if the clippers suffer, that’s 90% of their existence

Yeah but it’s the wrong LA team lol

The Clippers are always suffering while the Lakers always have superstars

This does nothing except make OKC even stronger

Do the clippers even count as an LA team, like I don’t get the same satisfaction from beating them

Hey! At least we said no to Uncle Dennis’ demands and didnt try to circumvent the cap.

Mavs aren’t winning squat so next best choose is fuck the clippers

LA doesn’t even like the Clippers. The only reason I became a fan was because they used to be the San Diego Clippers…and it’s been a really depressing 30 years as a fan

We dedicate ring #4 to you, Mr. JazzLobster

We know the Warriors aren’t winning any in 5 years at this rate…

Low key what happened, bungled so many promising players

Yeah, OKC has earned this. They’re a small market team. They were not the preferred destination for any free agents. They just built their dynasty brick by brick. If they add onto their dominance through the Clippers’ incompetence who am I to complain?

Pretty sure KD warriors were more hated than okc getting the first pick this year

Hello? police? Chris Paul trying to beat me up

NEVER talk shit about my goat ever again (dm me pls)

This just feels more like a locker-room issue getting out of hand. Specifically Kawhi and his uncle.

I’m speculating, but Kawhi probably finds CP3 extremely abrasive, and not even in the typical way that CP3 can be seen as abrasive. Kawhi has been with this current org for awhile, while CP3 was with it before, CP3 probably comes in and sees some heavy legs and uninterested attitudes and starts his push on them to get better to be better. Kawhi just looks at CP3 and probably says something along the lines of, “Why you chirpin’? I’ve been running this thing since you left, besides, what have you won lately?” Kawhi Laugh

This probably sent CP3 over the moon, and Kawhi just decided to sever any chance of the chemistry working out from there by telling the staff to ghost CP3. Remember a few weeks ago Kawhi saying to reporters “We just need more talent.” XD Like… the guy is clearly one of the most self-aggrandizing players I’ve seen.

In the last 5 years CP3 had successful seasons with OKC, Phoenix and he was on the Spurs last year, where he probably helped influence Wemby’s much improved killer instinct and attitude.

Again, all speculations at this point, but it would fit the narrative and personalities of those involved. Lue just ghosting CP3 despite CP3 requesting a chat? That sounds like Kawhi telling Lue to stfu and get rid of CP3.

Why would publicly humiliating him like this make him less likely to do that

Under all the planted trees

In the secret tunnel

Let’s make CP3 the new GM and let him run this like a real team.

Add Lawrence Frank, if for anything just for the stretch when he was signing real POSs like KPJ and the Spurs flasher and called them “fallen angels” or some shit in a press conference

this isn’t just a haynes thing. Shams also reported that Lue wasn’t on speaking terms with CP3

Everything about this situation makes me believe this actually happened

The truth is somewhere in the middle and even then Clippers come out looking bad.

CP3 was obviously pretty frustrated with the lack of effort and was taking some of the guys to task.

They are 26th in rebounds, 28th in assists, 21st in TOVs, 26th in opponent TOVs. Plus they are 4th in commiting the least PFs. The Clippers are not good but there is some serious lack of effort happening.

Ty Lue probably felt like CP3 was usurping his authority in the locker room. Like holding the players accountable is Lue’s job.

Sounds like Lue went to front office to complain the CP3 wasn’t letting him do his job. So they sided with Lue.

Pretty bad look for the Clippers that the one of the guys pushing accountability is now gone.

While that is true, the other side is just saying “we are bad and we’re not saying it’s Chris’ fault. We’re also not saying anything else”. Hard to think there’s a secret story that makes them all innocent

What is the Clippers spin on this matter then?

why should I not believe this even if it came from CP3’s own mouth? why did this happen in the middle of the night?

This report doesn’t seem pro-CP3 to me, though? This is a black & white retelling of the events

CP3 deserves the benefit of the doubt imo. He’s been in the league 20 years and nobody’s ever accused him of being a bad teammate as far as I can remember. Especially given this is his last season I really doubt he was looking to cause problems

People get complacent its simple.

what a hilarious description

Always looking guilty and worried for no reason
