Kinda seems obvious by now that blowing it up isn’t their preferred option.

You don’t try to bring in more salary if you are tearing it down.

Everyone, except the Clippers, are leaning into that theory.

They have said they aren’t trading either Guy.

Again: Not the route I wanted them to take.

But, might be time for me to come to grips with it.
I would’ve traded the table scraps going for brogdan for Paul as my pivot

Do the Clips have anything the Warriors would want that they could get for CP3 and the #19 pick?

The problem being they aren’t blowing it up.

I really wish they would.

But, obviously that is not to be if they turned down #3 and Simons.

It seems like they're being stubborn and I'm not sure why.

I mean, I get it to a point. They finally land some FA's that put them on par with what they usually see the Lakers get and they haven't gotten the return they expected and want to try again.

But the health issues for Kawhi and PG don't seem to be getting any better.

If CP3 to the Blazers for the #3 was ever a real thought, the Clips may end up regretting not taking it. Would have been a great way to start a rebuild.

Funny typo there in the last paragraph.

If the Wizards had taken Jordan Poole instead of the #3 pick for CP3?

That might be the last straw for me!

Apparently it was and they declined.

Which tells me blowing it up was never in the cards.

Revamping?

Maybe.

Starting over completely?

No.

For all the mounting noise about Paul George’s trade candidacy in Los Angeles, don’t expect the Clippers to part with the eight-time All-Star. Portland has indeed registered interest in creating a package around the No. 3 pick for George, sources said, but those talks did not gain any traction with Los Angeles..

To be fair, not owning your pick, it makes sense

Warriors just got better and deeper today getting CP3 dude still can ball out
When healthy, he can be a great assist guy and hit a midrange shot and defend. Will not start, will lead 2nd unit, 22-28 minutes a game.
