Good morning. Maybe the Clippers’ new logo thinks YOU’RE trash.

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

HELLO UGLY: I am a person who a) knows he cannot design his way out of a paper background layer, and b) I am sympathetic to the fact that people always complain about new designs because this is who we are. THAT SAID, everyone is right about the new Clippers branding, unveiled on Conan O’Brien’s show on TBS by Steve Ballmer: hot garbage.

FINALS POST-SCRIPT: We have not forgotten about you, dear Warriors!

Brilliant, touching piece by Marcus Thompson on the Warriors and his late father, who was a fervent Golden State fan.

I warn against trying to mimic the Warriors because they have a number of unprecedented features difficult if not impossible to replicate.

Dan Rubenstein on the five moves that built the juggernaut.

Ricky O’Donnell on the importance of Steve Kerr allowing the Warriors to have fun.

Lee Jenkins’ SI scene piece from the Warriors’ afterparty is pure greatness.

Grant Brisbee defends bandwagon fans.

Zach Lowe’s guide to the champs.

Satchel Price explains how expensive it will be to keep the Cavaliers together.

Ramona Shelburne on the team’s unique culture.

David Roth on LeBron and the dignity of labor.

LeBron’s post-game quotes about the pain of losing in the Finals and whether he’d rather miss the postseason entirely were pretty incredible.

Tom Haberstroh notes the role consistent rest played for Golden State this season.

“CoCo” is back! I know the league loves it when its champions celebrate by singing cocaine production anthems. (As much as my wife loves it when my 5-year-old sings it in the grocery store. Whoops.)

Riley Curry insists it’s her turn to have a photo shoot with the O’Brien. You do need to share the spotlight, Dad.

David Lee says he won’t be returning to the Warriors. If there isn’t a trade to be had -- there probably is -- watch for a stretch waiver, which could relieve some of next season’s expected luxury tax bill.

Minnesota is reportedly still torn on Karl-Anthony Towns and Jahlil Okafor.

New Chad Ford mock.

Here’s a big Mario Hezonja profile from Ball In Europe.

VERY NEAT: Tony Parker nails a halfcourt shot, and the kids in the gym go bananas.

RE-TRY: I borked the link to Yago Colas’ neat essay on Steph Curry’s cultural marketing yesterday. I encourage you to check it out.

Happy Thursday. See you next time.
