Re: Camp and Preseason 2023
Game 2:
Frankly, I think if Kawhi and PG wanted RoCo to be starting, he'd have been starting. Ty took the heat for RoCo not playing but the Big Two have a lot of say. If either one came to Ty and said, put RoCo out there with me when I'm leading the second unit and let me try to get him going.
What, coach is gonna say NO?
The starting lineup with Mann as the so-called point guard put up insane stats but KL and PG torpedoed it and pushed for getting Westbrook instead.
If they wanted to play with RoCo, coach would have said, sure, let's give it a shot.
Now none of them have any choice. If the starting PF is RoCo or the starting [SG? SF? PF?] is Mann, so be it. Shut up and win.
In fact, that should be the Clippers ad phrase this year.

Several players have opined the problem has been not enough opportunity to practice. IIRC, this year will be the first camp in the Kawhi era with everyone healthy.
“I think Kawhi coming back, he was limited in practices and we couldn't really do two days and things like that because he was limited as well,” head coach Tyronn Lue told ClutchPoints. “So coming in, you know, everyone's healthy, 100%. You can have a hard camp, work on conditioning more, we can run more, we can play more. And so it has been a change in our camp. So nobody's been limited on these kind of things.”

Re: Camp and Preseason 2023
What's up with Mook, who knows? Could be hurt, could have a suspiciously phantom ailment, like his COVID "protocol" last year [they never said he actually HAD it].
Need to save Batum for the 4th quarter. Gotta limit him to 20 mpg. Even 24 is too much. And if Mann is having a good game [favorable matchups], you leave him in.

Mann will be the fifth starter.. most nights should be fine - I like it, and should be a good change to last year. Batum/Covington I still see spot finishing games if things are right with energy and match up.
Russ, Mann, George, Kawhi can all take who they need to.
I think in the playoffs it may change, though, at least against bigger teams.

Taj Gibson and Montrezl Harrell (rehabbing his ACL tear) waived.
For Ontario's radar... Darius Bazley, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Keon Johnson (Clipper draftee) all recently waived
Also, Austin Rivers signed w/ ESPN
