Around SBN: Tottenham's Plans for Northumberland Stadium Approved

Whose Shot, K.R.?

Your Honor, and ladies and gentlemen of the jury, a serious crime is about to be committed.  I know that this must sound strange, at least in a couple of ways.  First, the matter before us is SERIOUS, unlike our recent deliberations over Blake Griffin's nickname.  Second, this crime HAS NOT YET HAPPENED.  Frankly, we don't even know what it's going to be, nor if it will be justified.  So your task today is strange, yes, but all the same we ask you to pass judgement.  

 

Specifically, what are the Clippers going to do about Kareem Rush?  And moreover, will their decision be justified? It appears that either way the team goes, they stand to be accused.    

 

 

The evidence before the court is plain and uncontested. The Clippers invited Mr Rush to join their camp this preseason, despite having 14 players signed and unlikely to take on a 15th.  Still, Kareem has seen significant minutes in 4 out of 5 games and has shot well in 3 of them, including 2 clutch 3-pointers at the end of last night's game against Utah.  If he gets some opportunity and plays well in tonight's big game against the Fakers, then we're likely to see a much larger press corps in this courtroom tomorrow.  People will be asking, "Do the Clipper's have serious intentions for Mr Rush? Or is this just part of some devious Sterling ploy? Who really has a shot here, then... K.R.?"  

Poll
Will the Clippers give K.R. a shot? And will it be Justified?
No and No: The Clippers are going to ruthlessly knock Kareem off the team. And what an outrage! K.R. has been a good citizen... I say we throw the book at management.
7 votes
No and Yes: The Clippers will let Kareem go. But we should exonerate the team on economic grounds. Kareem can be picked up later if the team has an injury.
10 votes
No and Yes: The Clippers will do away with Kareem. And good riddance! He was never worth our viewership.
1 votes
Yes and No: The Clippers will keep Kareem around. But what a travesty! We don't need a 15th, and certainly not someone of Mr Rush's marginal talents.
2 votes
Yes and No: The Clippers will let Kareem stay on. Alas, it's just a waste of resources. Rather than taking on a good 15th, we should be looking to trade for an even better 14th.
3 votes
Yes and Yes: The Clippers will commit to Kareem, as they should. The guy is an athletic shooter, and we're thin at guard anyway.
28 votes
Absolutely not!!: The Clips should immediately send K.R. over to Dallas, where he can pursue his true calling as distribution manager for an obscure 1970's TV drama.

keep him

i really hope they keep kareem rush- i was at the game yesterday and couldn’t help thinking what a shame it is that he probably won’t make the team

I would say no he won’t get picked up although he should.

Would Like to See A Backup Shooting Guard Picked Up...

But Chicken Man does like to keep a spot open for emergencies AND we’re talking DirTSterling so I’m not getting my hopes up. Is Kareem Rush > Von Wafer?

at least attitude wise

and I think Von is more of a hyped/streaky player, while Rush is more a low-keyed silent/solid player.

One works once in a while…but when its working..its WORKING, the other is basic, but u get it all the time and rarely breaks down.

Maybe for a non guaranteed contract

I think down the road we’re going to need the last spot for a backup PG. We’ve struggled this preseason with only Baron playing. He does fine when he’s in there, but when he’s out we really miss Telfair.

I’m really not sure how Dunleavy has only 2 true PGs on the team.

i think Kareem will be our Fred Jones this year

…except we get a sneak peek now.

so the second no and yes.
