How?

They don’t have a matching salary

I’m still baffled Danny didn trade him


Dude gets an F for post Mitchell trade work
But, he got an A for landing Lauri, Kessler and a shit ton of picks.

So, he was playing with house money.

Still, he got undressed by the Lakers.

I honestly expect the Clippers to blow it up.

I would prefer a total demolition.

Keep Bones and Mann and start over.

But, they can’t, unless George and Kawhi can recoup draft assets.

So, it will be a retool, most likely.

We have the last pick of the 1st round.

Still, I’m looking at top 20 guys, just in case.

Wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Emoni Bates with our 2nd rounder if Eddy is gone.

I’m off Bates

The late round 1 probably worth more in trade unless sasser is there

Some interesting projects there but not much that helps now Imo

For your second rounder I like beekman, the Virginia PG. Not a star, but a 3 and D pg who is an upperclassmen who I think has some talent

I still like pritch for a first for everyone involved

That would be a cheap way to upgrade at pg

Then still use your mle for a c

They like Bones.

I don’t see the Clippers drafting another pg.

They also have to decide if they have anything with Preston.

Pritchard isn’t anyone’s starting pg of the future.

If you are going to be mediocre at that position…

Do it with the guys you have.

Not like Utah is itching to get Beasley back.

Yeah, imo, they need to focus on bringing back as much of the current roster as they can. If something along the lines of a deal for Clarkson or someone presents itself and can be done without killing their depth, then they should absolutely do it.

But finding something like that shouldn't be their priority. Don't want to risk losing what they have because they were waiting on something else. Guys tend to get a little antsy during FA.

What do you expect to happen with Bamba?

I told you the Thunder was getting #2….lol

I think you get a big in free agency or via trade.

Capela, Claxton.

Wood at the very least.

Would love it if you could get Okongwu.
Sold on Claxton, perfect for this team!

Not sure. He seems a bit raw. But his injury killed any real chance to see what there is to work with. I love Wenyen Gabriel and the energy he brings, but he's too light in the ass to be the 5 if/when AD is out for more than a few games. Bigger 5's just bully him.

So, imo, they need to either keep Bamba or, if they aren't sold on him, then move him and try to get a viable back up big.
