IMO Dejounte Murray and IQ are similar caliber players

I see Murray as a far superior player to Quickley.

In vacuum, yes. In reality Murray has not showed that he can be a system player. Think about Derrick White, right now Dejounte is opposite of Derrick White in terms of mentality. But he will have a chance to change this perception by fitting in NOP

Saddiq Bey or Joe Ingles could help on a minimum deal. Eubanks. Looks to be quite a few options being declined.

He is trash defensively, he won’t be useful at all in the playoffs for the wolves especially at the wing.

I don't think we can waste one of our only bullets on a guy who may or may not be ready for the Playoffs. And will likely be really rusty if he is.

Another player that MIM could use, but don't have assets for a trade

P.S. He is one of Culver draft consequences

No. NAW will demand a lot more.

I love NAW (since his very first draft video) but he can get extremely cold in terms of shooting for long game stretches. And while his defense is 100% effort or even more, he lacks ideal size and strength to play against big guards.

Yea NAW needs to have a good shooting season and also shoot well in next year’s playoffs to really get his bag, the series against Denver and Mavericks hurt him.

Even if you're worth 130 Billion, the new CBA and Apron penalties are no joke.

Clippers were already repeaters and were not going to win anything as constructed. They didn’t even make it out of the first round. To anyone who says they could win it all if they stayed healthy, I would say maybe, but they cannot stay healthy.

Valanciunas to Was for 3/30 is a steal. New Orleans going to have a big hole at center now.
Looks like PG13 is going to Philly and Klay leaving GSW.
CP3 to the Spurs on a 1 year deal.

West getting weaker overall and I like that.
Curious to see what Dallas will do and where Klay ends up, he might end up with one of the LA teams for the MLE, but he's not ready to settle for that right now.
Hopefully he doesn't let the Warriors get anything back in a sign and trade.

Warriors and Clippers losing players and getting weaker and still owe a ton of 1st round picks, this is the downside to going for it.

Be curious to see if Hartenstein ends up in OKC and how much they are willing to pay him.
Knicks hardcapping themselves with the Bridges trade is going to make it hard to bring him back.

Don't know how Morey keeps pulling these rabbits out of his butt. Also getting Gordon for vet min and Drummond for 2/10.
Looking like a real winner for moving on from Harden right now.

They lost to the same team that beat us, and took one more game from them than we did, missing their best player for most of it.

They lost Paul George because they didn't want to give him a 4th year and pay him 60 million dollars at 37 years old, and I can see the wisdom in that decision.
But I wouldve paid him what he wanted before I would have kept Harden if the CBA and luxury tax was the Issue.

And they're strengthening OKC. They have the Clippers next 3 picks (straight picks or swaps).

Karl and Ant both looked hurt in the Dallas series and you can see where it happens in games 5-7 of the Denver series. Do you honestly believe LAC wins it all. Also their being injured is my point. KL, JH, and PG are not the most reliable big 3. Clippers should still have enough talent to be relevant, but not contend.

I think the Clippers would have got cooked by us the Nuggets, or Thunder still. I don't think they were good enough either way. Maybe if 100 percent healthy but even then, I still think all three of those teams still beat them.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.
