Do you really see a route to him and Paulo being a championship 1 and 2 though? I don’t think anyone is bashing him, it’s just a question of whether he can be the second best player on a championship team with all the talent in the league today

[@brandonsingh5083]

@@lukeremsberg5796 at this time the only real question about Franz is his long range jumper. How many 22 year olds can you say that about? He is good to great at just about everything else, including defense. And he shot 36% from 3 his first 2 years. So yes, I can see a world where Paolo and Franz are 1 and 2 on a title team, or at the very least a very good title contender. Are they there yet? Obviously not but rookie max extensions are based on potential, not the player’s current level

[@edwardraya4566]

As a clipper season ticket holder I think getting rid of PG was the right move. They weren’t winning the chip with him, with PG they project to do what they did this year, one and done. Now they are younger, spending less and better positioned for the future. Short term they will be slightly worse next year but will be in the mix for 7/8 seed. They had to get rid of PG for lack of heart & bball intelligence, they can’t say it outright because it’s a player controlled league so they claim it was all because of the CBA.

[@nWoPorViDa]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

[@thomasblank2353]

good point on the bball IQ. PG is one of those guys who will take a tough shot when another player has an open shot. The clippers had too much my turn your turn. And PG's shooting was streaky so he sometimes took and missed those shots with another player open. When that happens enough, guys stop moving without the ball. Defensively I like PG a lot but when he had a tough assignment it did take a bit out of his offensive game at 34 years old. that will be the case for the rest of his career.

its not just the 2nd apron the clippers were worried about, its the ability to adjust the roster as kawhi and pg got older. windy is talking about they would have had 3 years to figure it out. you dont need 3 years to figure out that paying paul george 57 mil when hes 36, and 61 mil when hes 37 is a bad idea. they wanted him to sign a similar deal as kawhi so as he got older he was taking up a smaller percentage of the cap each year giving them some flexibility to compete.

Team offensive efficiency and shooting percentage went up with harden. They went fromn 16th to 4th in the league. They lost rotational depth with RoCo, Batum, and morris which really hurt when PG, Harden, Zu or Kawi missed games due to injury. They got often run out of the gym shorthanded whenever somebody was out. building a lead and losing it as players are gassed. Kawi(career high 52.5% FG, career high shooting efficiency, 59%), PG(career high 47% FG and career high 55% shooting efficiency), Zu (career high scoring, 65% FGs). Todays NBA game puts a premium on 3 point shooting, every team will let westbrook shoot and clog the lane area for Kawi, harden. Westbrook has a FG efficiency lower than 50% for his entire career. Harden was 55% last year and has been in the 52-59% range for a decade except for the hamstring injury season. I'll take Dunn over westbrook because Dunn doesnt turn the ball over, plays touch D, can shoot the 3, and will get mann more shots. Mann needs to get more touches and I am hoping his shooting stroke comes back when he doesnt have to guard the best opposing player every night(jones will help). The team needs to get younger, they were the oldest team in the NBA last year and their play faded late in the season. One trade for a john collins type PF and the clippers can let Kawi play defense on SF's. Kawi is just not big enough to guard big young PF's for a whole season.

Kawhi destroying two franchises in his career is an impressive feat.

Count 3, if us san antonians didnt get the pick of all picks we would still be in desolation with only Brandon Miller or something 😅

[@NoahBelsly]

Holy hell are the Clippers down bad. If what that reporter is saying is true their plan moving forward is hoping to land a star in 2027 Free Agency (Shai or ANT, who I bet sign max extensions way before then), then they are so delusional🤣. But I guess when you don’t own any of your picks for 6 years or have any young players + aging stars what else do you have to hope for. Sorry Clippers fans.

From the Pelicans perspective I would rather bring Tacko Fall back to the NBA and keep Brandon Ingram. 36:36

[@user-rf3ug1hd1q]

Think about if Zion was a 4, and Ingram was a 3. Then you have Batum at 2? Alverado on a defensive one with Zion or Ingram playing point forward?

[@user-rf3ug1hd1q]

That team is HUGE and their only defensive liability is Batum maybe? Maybe Tacko against Denver, but honestly I think Tacko would lock jokic up.

Even if whole LA comes they have Zero chance. Do you guyz know any 🏀 or just talk 💩 😂 Harden & Westbrick are there they will take care of things lol “How to screw the franchise” Podcast Paul is 💼 chaser Kawhi is like Derrick Rose bench player with min contract, gave him 50 million good luck

[@uptownmonsta6564]

Ingram to Sac, Wendell Carter Jr to New Orleans and Huerter to Orlando.
