I"m surprised you managed to think of a worst case scenario.

I like Sengun a lot. If OKC doesn’t get Houston pick, I’d be all in favor of using Heat pick and some additional asset(s) to jump up from 18 to end of lottery (11-12) to get Sengun

Not sure what he’s talking about , I can only see 1st and 5th in our future. :roll:

I don't think Kawhi leaves even if they lose in the first round and I think the Clippers are a a perfect match up against Brooklyn (don't want cupcake to win).

I’m projecting into the future more so than just this season. If they struggle now, I can only imagine how much more they will struggle in 2-3 years and more

oh I totally agree with this. That's why I think Kawhi staying isn't that terrible. I don't see him aging very well. He may still play at an elite level in some games but probably will need a lot of rest (and PG13 is "old" as well) so we will get some decent picks for sure.

I think it will be better for the picks if he sign elsewhere though , cause if he stays and sign an extension , he would be signing multi year contract extension.

oh for sure. I just think we may still end up with decent/good picks even if Kawhi resign for 4 years. "Old" Kawhi and PG13 eating a lot of Clippers salary cap will be a problem for them in 2024+.

Basically the same but I would rank Kuminga on his own tier between the top 4 and the rest.
I rather pick Sengun over Garuba but I like both of them.
