Amazing off season for both team. Clip fans hate Dolan so it’s all the sweeter

What position/role do we need/want to upgrade? (PLS CONSIDER OPPONENTS/BIGGEST THREATS)
WHO TO GET?
Who is a viable options for that position(s)?
BEST TRADE VALUE?
Who's available to trade? Who's "untouchable"? (on the Clippers roster)

Why did Toronto trade away Jonas Valanciunas for Marc Gasol? What are Valanciunas' weaknesses?

Backup playmaker and long third string center.
I’m still all for Jerome for Kris Dunn and a pick then wait for Dwight buyout or Noah

So no upgrade needed or wanted at the starting roles?
Is Zubac "untouchable" for you?
If we pick up Dwight, is that enough to overcome the L.B. Lakers, the Jazz, the 76ers?
The name that will come up over and over, in connection with every realistic destination, is Bradley Beal. Beal is really good. He just turned 26. He can thrive off the ball. Beal would bring minimal skill overlap to most preexisting star pairings.
Star power can overcome such overlap. Those "your turn, my turn" offenses that emerge on some super-teams can still win titles because that is what stars do. Depth becomes less important in the playoffs, when stars can play 40-plus minutes every game.
But there are diminishing returns. Love resembled a high-level role player at times next to Irving and James. Allen fit next to Garnett and Pierce because of his willingness to work as a roving catch-and-shoot specialist -- a pure finisher. Green is almost the inverse of Allen: a defensive savant who can initiate offense as Golden State's historic shooters orbit him.
Beal checks the age and fit boxes. Whether he has enough raw, supernova talent -- Beal has made two All-Star rosters and zero All-NBA teams -- is something each suitor will have to decide based in part on who is already on its team (and if the Wizards ever make Beal available, which they have not, per sources).
The Clippers don't have the draft assets for such a trade, but I wonder how they would feel about a theoretical package of Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell, Landry Shamet and Mfiondu Kabengele -- leaving a thin and aging roster around Beal, Leonard and George. If stars in the player empowerment era are more or less permanent flight risks, then building around depth carries a little more appeal.
