'Trez with MULTIPLE pull up treys during those Rico Hines runs.

Improved handle too. I know the comp isn't the greatest...but watching him expand his game like this...man....

I was hatin' so hard before in the GB with ClipsFanSince98.

Apparently no one is offering him the room, so yes.

Congrats Clipper fans. So happy it was you guys and not the Lakers. I hope you guys can keep him and George healthy. That's the key. I think there is an outside chance of a Clips v. Raps finals because the East really sucks now. Lol. We'd get smoked though. But wouldn't that be something.

Raptors fan here, definitely hurts but I want to tell you guys congrats. I will be definitely be following the Clippers on the west.

I hope you guys get to the finals and win, I always like teams winning their first championship

I'd much rather give Cousins a chance than Dwight. Cousins might actually benefit from our team's culture. I don't think anything can stop Dwight from being a mess on and off the court at this point.

I firmly believe Trezz is going to be a legit star in this league soon. The Rockets must be kicking themselves for giving up on him so early.

Imma put respeck on his name. Dude has COMPLETELY transformed his game from his Louisville days. Going from a rebounder and banger to a modern day 3/4 man with an inside/outside game? SHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Personally, I don't want Cousins or Dwight. Don't think we need them. Just posted this another thread--PG, Kawhi, and Harkless played around 15% of the time at PF last year. If they play 6500 minutes next year, that's 1000 minutes of PF covered. Trezz can/will play some at PF. Kabengele is raw but should be able to play 500-1000 minutes, so add that in.

The key is resigning Zu. Do that, and have he and Trezz play 4500 minutes, and we have about 1500-2000 minutes to fill at the PF/C position. Room exception PF and a vet minimum guy. I'm thinking something like Cheick Diallo and Luol Deng. Wish it could be JaMychal ....

Nets fan here. Congratulations you guys

Both of our teams always get dismissed as the "little brother" franchises to the Lakers and Knicks and both the Nets and Clippers took a dump all over them in the offseason.

Congrats again, can't wait to play you guys when we've got our whole team intact

Agreed, Cousins is intriguing but I'd prioritize bringing back Green. Don't want Kawhi playing too many minutes at the 4 in the regular season.

I love all you guys. I'm still shook it happened. Especially the Paul George trade.

Congratulations Clipper fans I'm glad you guys got him and not the f****** LA Lakers! You guys are going to be very good, I predict the Clipper and Philadelphia 76er finals next year. :nod:

Good draft picks and good coaching.
I'm not too interested in Kawhi's 4 year window to bring us gold.

If that needs to be made ANY more clear, let me know.

the only sustained success in franchise history. Kawhi for 4 would equal that, I think. To me, I'm good with sustaining Chris & Doc's success.

we did well under Mike D Sr. and Larry Brown era too. just saying.

I'm legit starting to wonder if Magic leaked everything on purpose to screw the Lakers.

Quake Griffin · Post #1520 » by **Quake Griffin** » Sat Jul 6, 2019 5:14 pm

Good riddance to Bron and KD...or thanks for never coming.

What Kawhi did is take on the weight of getting #THECLIPPERS to their first WCF and ultimately a ring.

It’s bigger than just adding Superstar X that could lift any team choosing a good situation. It’s bigger than CP3 who tweeted his displeasure with Stern nixing his trade to LAL.

He chose us. Intentionally. Recruited his mans to come play with us.
What’s happening here is bigger than LAL collecting superstars and pairing them with a mediocre coach.

Enjoy Days of Our Lives/ General Hospital in BK and LAL.
We have substance and the better ball club.
