CP3 is staying, but I could see Griffin leaving, although he's probably better than 50/50 to stay. The Clippers were so terrible for so long that I could see them simply being unwilling to face the uncertainty of possibly going back to being bad, or a non-playoff team, again. They may just keep going with this, consequences be damned. They may like the relevance.
Assuming CP3 does stay, I could see the Melo thing happening. He may even tell them that it's a condition of him staying, and the Clippers would make it happen for sure if that's the case. Melo has Phil over a barrel in NY, and they may simply take Rivers and Crawford for him. |

And CP3 is the only piece I would take |

Pierce was a great player, I won't deny it. But damn, that's a bad last game to end it. |
Dude could ball no doubt but he was a dirty wheelchair Celtic and then a Paperclip, so to quote Draymond Green "They don't love you like that..." _________________ #IStillBelieveTaurean |

He's still probably complaining that the Celtics would've won over the Lakers in 2010 if the immortal Kendrick Perkins could've played. |

Cp3
Blake
Reddick
Speights
Fat Felton.
So on. Now way they're bringing that core back. Likely cp3 but what else can they do? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

They could conceivably re-sign everyone and trade Rivers and Crawford (and maybe somebody like Brice Johnson) for Melo. I don't know who the hell is playing defense other than DJ, but they could have a lineup of CP3/Redick/Melo/Griffin/DJ. Don't ask me who is playing on their 2nd unit though LOL. |

Karma really b-slapped Doc for his undefeated starting 5 comment. He's had to rehash that same excuse every season since. |

Tony Parker is going to be 35 next season and Chris Paul 32. So I could see CP3 going to San Antonio and taking on a prime role there with Parker's minutes subsiding.
A CP3, Melo, Jordan team would still go nowhere.
And I'm not sure what team Blake Griffin even fits on. He's a max money player that you can't win anything with if he's your best player. |

The Clippers are the first team in NBA history to blow a series lead in five straight postseasons.

Blake will be on the trading block in a year or two if he re-signs. Better to walk. _________________ Showtime 2.0 |

But it's pretty remarkable how quickly they've retooled, while still maintaining prime draft position (superb GMing from Ainge). They're in a good spot to land a top star this summer. |
They've won 5 playoff games in a row by 9+ points. They are hitting their stride. But 3-11 vs the Lebron Cavaliers over the last 3 seasons. |

How many times has Doc blown a series when having a lead at any point? Happened like 3 or 4 times in Boston, and pretty much every season with the Clippers. |
