Clippers Looking for Tweener Forward Center

[KL2]

Sounds like Gadford is heading to Dallas. Woj hasn’t followed up on that yet though.

Olynyk to Toronto.

Not saying those were realistic options but names talked about here.

Knicks made some nice moves.

[clipsfever]

12:42 p.m. ET: The Toronto Raptors are trading point guard Dennis Schroder and forward Thaddeus Young to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

12:11 p.m. ET: The Charlotte Hornets are also getting guard Vasilije Micic and draft compensation in the deal that will send Gordon Hayward to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

11:24 a.m. ET: The New York Knicks have completed a larger deal with the Detroit Pistons, landing Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks for Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and two future second-round picks.

11:18 a.m. ET: The Dallas Mavericks are close to a deal to land center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards in exchange for center Richaun Holmes and draft compensation, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Damn Phoenix made some good moves too. Picked up Royce O’Neal and David Roddy.

[clipsfever]

Thad Young off a potential/likely buyout makes sense to me, but for others as well (Miami)

Joe Harris waived (feels like a Laker)

[KL2]

Pat Bev to the Bucks. Nice move.

Pistons just waiving people like what. Harris and now Hayes.

[Bobbymcgee]

Dang, Dallas picks up Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington. Phoenix gets Royce O'Neale. As if the West wasn't tough enough already.

So far, Clippers get nada. Not good IMO.

[madmaxmedia]

I feel like a lot of teams are making good win-win trades and adding good bench type players without giving up much. I think Hayward is going to have a good impact for OKC this postseason, even if he ends up not sticking around afterwards.

We still have an hour left to hunt for something LOL, although I didn't have big expectations since we have been playing so well and we gave up a lot of trade flexibility in the Harden trade.

[KL2]

Metu went to Memphis in that 3-team trade. Another name talked about here gone.

*eta*

I knew chances were slim with limited assets but with Leonard wanting a PF I thought we’d do something. Still time but it’s running out.

[KL2]

lol Marcus Morris on the move again. To the Spurs now. They’re likely to buy him out.

Bucks trading Robin Lopez to the Kings. He’ll be waived.

Watch him end up back here somehow on a minimum deal.

[nickhx2]

sounds like lopez is mega cooked but i don't watch their games

[KL2]

Holy smokes. Toronto waiving Dinwiddie.

Sizers trading Springer to the Celtics. Crazy.

By doing this, Clippers will bow out of the buyout market. They're standing pat, keeping the team as is.

Maybe Tucker just needs playoffs. Maybe after the All-Star Break, we'll see the Tucker everybody wanted. It's one of those things where your answer is already there, you just have to be patient.

[MartinToVaught]

The rest of the league got better and we stood pat with a team that's too small to win when it matters. Awesome.

Can't wait for every team to force Zu out to the perimeter and play him off the court in the playoffs and leave us with no answer for any decent big man. Between that and PG/Harden's usual playoff performances, I have a hard time seeing us get past round 2 even if the team stays healthy (another big if).

Sizers trading Springer to the Celtics. Crazy.

He could land anywhere. Hope he stays in the East.

[ERClips]

There weren’t too many realistic options for us unfortunately. I think NY & Phoenix made the best moves for immediate impact this season. I like Roddy as a depth guy.

We have what it takes still to win it all despite the bad matchup teams. Just need guys like Coffey to keep doing what he’s doing. Mann to do something. PG to pull his head out of his *ss. Etc.

Bad games happen to every team no matter what so gotta stay positive and move on.

Please entertain us with which teams will be able to pull that off against us while beating us 4 out of 7 times?

We have Zu, Plumlee and Theis which is a pretty solid rotation. Those guys should be enough, so that we don't need to have Kawhi guarding Jokic. Outside of Denver, I have no concerns about anyone else in a 7 game series. This isn't the Lob City team that never had a decent backup big to come in and provide minutes.

Why even entertain this? You already know this poster doom and gloom agenda posting. It's old and tired.
