One of them is not available next year. Kawhi + young kids = missing the playoffs. Maybe in 2 years IF (big if) Durant comes back to his old self.

We purposely drafted and brought guys in who can handle playing in the spotlight. Having young guys gonna be an advantage on our part. We will have plenty of depth unlike Lakers. We will be ready to win when KD back. We have alot of assets dont forget. Can always make a trade next year if this does happens

Im not gonna get my hopes up tho lol

Going into these meetings (at least with KD) its not about winning next year. Its about the assets and what plans can be made. Let's be honest. If we land KD and KL (or even just KD) we'll essentially be like LA last season. Everyone's available.

RJ may be the best player on either the Knicks or Clippers from day 1... and you dont have to play in the shadow of LeBron and AD

I'd take Mitchell Robinson over anyone on the Clipper's roster.

He was 2nd in the league in blocks averaging less than 25 mpg. He was the clear cut leader in bpg per 36 minutes and was 3rd in the league in offensive rpg per 36 as well.

After they shut DJ down and allowed Mitchell to become a full time starter he became a double double machine and never looked back. He's also a good FT shooter, something Jordan has never been in his career.

He's a very, very promising young player but to act like he didn't do anything less year is just ridiculous. It's not his fault this team sucked last season.

I've watched the NBA for a very long time and I don't remember the last time I saw someone with his defensive presence. Literally can guard all 5 positions in any sequence and has the ability to block shots from the perimeter which is important given the style of ball played in this era. His motor is also the best out of any big man in the league. I don't think there's anything hyperbolic with what I'm saying.
