Trade Norm, McCaw, Stanley for Aldrigde (works in the checker)
Sign Giles
Let Masai and co. go to work filling all those spots with non guaranteed minimums.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I feel like we offered more to Ibaka than the clippers and he left anyways.

True, I guess we’ll find out eventually, these things usually leak out. If it is true then I’ll be disappointed in Serge.

Yeah we’ll probably know soon. I doubt that we didn’t offer more than the 9.5 million he’s getting with the clippers,

We weren't contenders last season and we definitely aren't this coming season. We need to accept that. Even with a re-signed Ibaka and Gasol, our ceiling is probably 2nd round exit.

I would rather us stealth tank this season (e.g., obligatory Lowry injuries and load managing) and get a lottery pick in the coming draft. I want to make a title run in the 2021-22 season.

Ibaka is gonna learn real quick how much harder life is without Lowry running point.

This season doesn't matter. Just need OG, Pascal and Freddy to take big steps forward. Sign a project center and just play it out for next season.

It's going to be so funny if it's Bismack coming back, the last guy to get paid from Lowry.

Serge will be great for the Clippers. But I am looking forward to Lebron clowning that team and stuffing Kawhi. Remember when Lebron spinned the ball on his finger in front of Ibaka in the playoffs. Fun times ahead

Y'all are acting like we're suddenly going to become a lottery team. Even if Gasol is also going elsewhere, we'll find a serviceable C to start games/play more minutes against the more traditional Cs like Embiid, Jokic, JV, etc. I'm comfortable with us going small with OG and Siakam at the 4/5 for large stretches this season. Plenty of teams have been doing the same kind of thing for a while now. We've just been fortunate to have two very good Cs for the last few years, so we haven't really needed to go small up front.

Remember we played a large chunk of last season without Gasol (28 games) and Ibaka (17 games), and even some of those were without both of them. We managed perfectly fine in those games (18-10 without Gasol, 13-4 without Ibaka) aside from when they were both out AND we happened to run into Charlotte (very good OREB team that dominated us on the glass, especially early) and Denver (Jokic went off for 23/18/11).

they can’t do that without also looking into the Lakers and they’re not going down that road because it’s attached to the leagues biggest superstar. We’ll learn about these dealings years from now in someone’s book.

Im ready to stop checking raps news for a while after seeing “Gasol draws interest from raps, warriors”.

Masai and Bobby might not have anything else.
