Right now there's a lot of rumblimgs about Thad young. They're sending scouts to bulls games.

I'm not buying it, personally. This front office never lets anything leak out to the media.

I voted 5-8th seed
The way people talk about the clippers, you'd think the clippers have houstons record

I voted the same lol. They also talk about Houston like they have Portland's record; Laker's like they have the 73-win Warriors' record; and Zion like the Pelicans aren't going to let JJ Reddick down... :lol:



no dinner tonight :lol:

There was rumors kawhi was coming to the clippers long before he became one

I don't buy it either but you never know

honestly just now is the first time i've seen the standings in weeks, and only because i wanted to see where new orleans was. it really just doesn't matter, the team has always been one that was needing time to grow together, rather than one that was going to eat up bad RS teams to secure seeding.

also, curious what the FO thinks of needs, at this point in time
A true center that's versatile and maybe another wing that's 3 and d. Moe harkless is Moe harmless. I would sacrafice a little of the defense to get more offense.

I don't trust our centers. We have two backup centers, one that starts and one that plays starter mins.

If the clippers could get someone like a Marc gasol, it would increase their chances. Good interior defender, good post defender, good rebounder and can shoot the three.

Trezz doesn't defend and Zu defense is limited to limiting penetration imo. He fouls anyone who's remotely skilled or agile.

I like them both but both as backups. Not starters or playing starters mins. You put trezz or zu behind like a Marc gasol, I'm okay with that. I'm confident in their skills as backups

Gasol health seems to be breaking down and I doubt he will be reliable the rest of the season. If he goes down and we only have one center left we might be stranded.

Moe issues could be fixed by starting Shamet or Green. Boost the starting scoring and add more defense to the bench.

We need another playmaker who can keep Lou off ball some and get other guys engaged
Gasol doesn't play for the regular season. He had a few knicks and bruises last yr also. He's durable come playoff time and playing with a kawhi will make his load that much lighter.

They can't get him so it's just a thought excercises but they need someone like him . Trez or zu are lnt those guys. We don't have a "true" starting center. We have two backups.
