Yes he’s a huge addition by subtraction. Pelinka really screwed LA by trading for him in the first place.

Just wait til he really starts feeling himself and starts taking more 3s. It’ll be fun to watch

Yea they wasted a good chunk of Lebrons time with that move

Blaming Westbrook for the Clippers troubles is letting the rest of the squad off the hook for the other ~60 games of being very underwhelming.

Why do people keep forgetting that LeBron pushed for the Westbrook deal?

Clippers couldn't win against the Warriors without Curry and Wiggins. Not with how bad PG and Powell are playing.

Russ went from "greatest athlete to ever play in the NBA" which allowed him to dominate for a while, and also masked his deficiencies to "he's just a good athlete," and those deficiencies are impossible to mask.

Management has done an abysmal job of assembling a supporting cast.

Its almost like they haven't done jack **** to address the roster concerns since Kawhi and PG-13 joined. Signed a decent PG? No. Found a legit 6th man? No. Put together a big-man rotation? No.

Meanwhile the Warriors lose Durant + Iggy + Livingston and come back with Poole + Wiggins + Donte.

If the Clippers lose in the first round its time for them to do a major overhaul.
