Watch out for the Clippers....they are sneaky good and can matchup to any lineup. They are deep.

I see Clippers as twin brother of Nets.
Good depth. No obvious star. Most likely won't make playoffs. Big market team in the shade of the big brother. Hoping to attract some major free agents in the summer.

I know it's very early in the season, but I'm just going in for a good ole fashioned jab at a rival.

Eat my ass Rockets fans, you currently suck balls. :lol:

Lakers losing to Raptors without Kawhi

They will make the playoffs since their schedule will get a bit easier, but Magic and Palinka are idiots for constructing the team as is. With Lebron, you need spot up shooters that space the floor and shoot 3s. On top of that, they needed more bigs and better defenders since Lebron himself is an terrible defender to cover him.

It seems like the vote of confidence to Luke from Magic and Pelinka, seems more like the kiss of death.

He is clearly the scape goat for how things are going right now.

To me it's more about the guys they brought in. They need shooters around LeBron.

Believe it or not, they would be better off playing their 2 young guys Mykhailuk and Wagner who can both shoot the ball. Or at least get them in the rotation. But no....Magic brings in old Tyson Chandler to pair with McGee lol.

Wagner will surprise people once he gets his opportunity. He can shoot the 3, is athletic, and a battler. Much tougher than he looks. Mykhailuk is a great shooter with good size.

LA can score fine they just literally tried to go into an NBA season with a single big. Basically what ORL does every year going with one PG (or none). Chandler will help if he isn't totally washed.

Well they have both Zuback and Wagner on the roster. Both are bigs, but Lebron doesn't want them out there. I'm not a Zuback fan, but I know Wagner can play.

I don't hate bringing in Chandler, but he is a shell of his former self. He's fine for bench depth, but they need shooting, and 2 of the best shooters on their roster aren't playing.

I had hope the Warriors could draft Wagner at one point.

The Lakers are a mess. You can't have a young team play D when the "leader" of the team doesn't.

LOL @ the Rockets losing out on Butler

But I think Ariza probably gets bought out in January or February and then ends up back on the Rockets.

Though at that point, couldn't any team sign him?

Definitely a possibility for sure....however I think Philly will show strong interest as well. They need someone who can play power forward and shoot threes. Their depth just took a hit.

Chris Boucher is absolutely destroying G-League. 28/11/2/2/4 in 32 MPG on great efficiency, including 38% on 3's on high volume, through six games. Impressive.
