Who is left to pair with Kawhi on the Clippers? RJ Hunter still available?

Only if Butler signs in Philly after all.

Why not ? If he didn’t get injured their would’ve been a number of teams lined up to offer him the max.


Dunno about that.


Yep, we never wanted him.

Would be amazed if we actually back-flipped on bringing in a locker-room cancer seeing what Kyrie did to us last season.


Not saying we wanted him, but the guy was the best centre in the world before he got injured, definitely would’ve been teams lining him up for the max.

Looney or Noel is good but we do need a brute some. We need a guy to bang vs Embiid

HE'S STILL A CELTIC, RIGHT?!?!

Shrewsberry, Horford, and Baynes already died for our past season's sins. Don't want my favorite Celtic shipped off too. Also, **** Kyrie. Irrational as it is, I blame him for most of this.


It's actually pretty rational.

On a side not to me worst contract so far: Murray, no way in **** Hell he's getting 30_ mils a year. Dude averaged over 15 pts on .430 from the field .367 from 3. Dude ain't nothing special. That's superstar(ish) money.


he's pretty damn good and he's ascending. They're paying him for his future performances not past. 18-4-5 and 37% from three at 21 y/o is pretty good. They obviously see upside to come.

That's my fear. Unless he wants a one-star team. Clippers would still be formidable with him but worse than what he had in Toronto.

It’s either Lakers or Toronto at this point and I’ve got a strong feeling it will be the Lakers. If he stays, it will be one of the most fun NBA seasons in a while

I would love to Noel on this roster, but would loathe relying on him as the primary centre

Man if Hunter goes to the Lakers we may as well tank.

No idea why anyone with his accomplishments would choose a “one star team” at this point in his career

Butler to Clippers would be cool too. Kawhi joins him there. :D

Can we somehow be involved in this and end up with Adebayo? Wishful thinking.. :D

That would be awesome and possibly doable, but they have already tried to short change dallas and thats why the Mavs pulled out, so I assume they dont want to pay much more than JRich to make the deal happen.

I'm looking to move on next spring, but feel like I have an epic trip for you guys in the meantime out here near Yosemite.

Agreed, if he goes to the Lakers it's pretty much a lock championship if they stay healthy.
