Lavine isn't really the issue.

Lavine isn't really the issue.

The Clippers don't have a Center. Of course he is showing energy. There isn't anyone defending the lane or the rim

THT is so funny because he's like 24 and looks 38 so its impossible to view him as having upside.

You rebuild around Flagg, Matas and keep Ayo, Coby and Smith. You trade everyone else to rebuild on Flagg's timeline. Maybe keep some helpful vets. But you refocus the team on the future.


How old will Flagg be when he's drafted? 18? He'll take a little time to develop, even though people will expect him to be good right away. I agree with your plan (if we got lucky in the lottery).

He's had energy all season.

Why would we keep Coby and Ayo ?

Billy
Coby
Ayo
Pat

should all be gone by draft day.

Draft Day? If the plan isn't to keep them then why not trade them now to get more value?

I think Ayo should be a keeper.

You still need a roster. Ayo and Coby are on cheap deals, when Coby needs to get paid he can go in a S+T.

Moving them all next week would be best but none of them are keepers of anything but the tank

You can find plenty of players just as cheap or cheaper to show up every 5-6 games playing in 4 and 5 guard lineups

He just came back and played 24 minutes last night. He isn't playing full minutes yet, let alone back to backs.
Dude's knee may be cooked but if he can get healthy for the playoffs it could throw the West for a loop.

Plus why would you retire when you are getting like another 200 mil to play 30 games a year? :lol:
