AD would be perfect for us, but just not a realistic target - making the Finals and having LBJ constantly in his ear. He’s not enough of an alpha to want out (like Kyrie did), so he’s off the list.
Giannis doesn’t shoot well enough from deep at this point to be ideal, but him and Bam would be nasty - BIG NASTY! If both of them can slowly extend their range, while Herro/Duncan/Nunn keep developing then that forms the basis of a dynasty.
If we whiff on Giannis then we’re looking at running back the same the same squad for the foreseeable future. Maybe keep Hill on a tradable contract to enable him to be packaged with Nunn & a pick for a defensive upgrade in the guard rotation.
I just don't think that in today's NBA you can win in the playoffs with 3 non shooters in Jimmy/Bam/Giannis. Talking 3 point shooting.
Defense will be scary, but not enough spacing on offense.
Skillset AD would be great, But I agree it's not hapening.
I wonder if Clippers implode next year...maybe...?
