Sure, but let's not act like Wall hasn't played with good players before....he has in Washington. Beal, Arenas, etc.

I expect him to average anywhere from 8-9apg with Leonard and PG, if they are healthy. Wall has averaged as many as 10.2apg.

I get it.....you think he's done, I don't. I think he'll bounce back. Maybe not as the scorer he used to be, but as a passer? Yeah, I think he can. He's only 31, not 35 or 36.

I think he is capable of dominating the ball and putting up numbers for sure.

But he isn’t one of the best athletes in the league anymore. The Clippers will want the ball in PG and Kawhi’s hands.

Wall is very much like Russ, except not as good.

He will be a liability for the Clippers in the same way Russ was for the Lakers.

Yeah, I hate this. Especially letting hartstein go

You had a borderline playoff team without pg or kawhi

You could navigate the buyout market for a pg if needed during the season, or trade a wing later on

Yeah imo, the only way I can see this working is the same way I could see Russ working with the Lakers.

He'd have to agree to coming off the bench and do his thing with the 2nd unit.

Even that wouldn't be great, but better than the choice of taking the ball out of PG or Kawhi's hands or just doing nothing but staying out of the way.

None of those options seem conducive to making either team a contender.

Shit, if that's true...the rest of the league better hope he stays confused because he's pretty damn good for a guy who doesn't know what he's doing.

If you took physical ability out of it... and it was squarely a match-up over mental understanding of the game...

... I'd kill Giannis at basketball.

:D

Imagine if Giannis ever developed an outside shot where he made 35%(League average)?

Phoenix wouldn't do that trade Mamba-DJ. They all want something for nothing here in Phoenix because that is what many of the sports talk show hosts state but they won't state it like I just did.

It must be nice to be rich. The courts treat you better.

If an average-joe gets pulled over with 3 pounds of weed in their car in vacuum-sealed bags they aren't getting charged with only a misdemeanor with the possibility of having it expunged in 12 months if they stay outta trouble.

That's what Montrez Harrell just got.
