Aside from Kawhi and PG, they don't have a lot to offer.
Beverley contract is (bleep) for his production and age ($13M per until 2022).
Lou Will, Zubac, Green and Shamet are pretty much the only assets they have. |
And both Kawhi and PG are basically expirings. That's how other GM's would have to view them. Of course, Kawhi is still a top player in the league so if he were actually available (I don't think he will be), GM's would actually give up a lot for him. But PG? His reputation has clearly taken a hit, and I don't think teams would give up a ton to get him as an expiring. They'd give up some stuff, sure. |

Harrell is already gone, he's a free agent.
Lou still has one year left. |

I guess they will trade everybody except the couple. There are big problems in that locker room where some players don't like how they treated the couple like gods, specially KL. While the blue-collar workers were winning games, KL was watching the games from home but earning the max. It's very challenging to manage a locker room with those problems and with people like Harrell, Morris, Beverley or Lou Williams. I guess none of them will be back with the team next year. |

| The Clippers did a fake jersey retirement ceremony for Blake Griffin in order to make sure he signed back with the intention to trade him the second he signed back so they wouldn't lose Blake for nothing in free agency. They are aware if they don't win a title this year or next year, one or both of Kawhi & George are leaving the team without having no real future since they traded all of their 1st rounders for the foreseeable future. Everything is on the table for the Clippers. |

He will be a great fit for our regular season run and preserving Lebron when it matters. His contract also is cheap and easy to move if we have better plans on 21. |

Lou Will was a Laker once and basically became the entire offense when he was on the floor.
When he wasn't, and had to play next to PG and Kawhi, it was like he disappeared.
It'll only be worse next to LeBron and AD.

| Lou wouldn't fit in Vogel's Lakers. He does not defend. |

Putting aside the fact that the Clippers aren't going to trade with the Lakers unless Magic Johnson is walking through that door and gifting them players, yes, no to Lou. He is literally unplayable against good teams during the playoffs. |

The Clips should consider trading assets to get somebody like Beal.

I don't see how they can land him. They aren't trading Kawhi for him, and why would the Wizards want an expiring PG for Beal? Nothing else the Clippers have would be enticing enough.
I do expect them to do something, of course. |

His “inside sources” are the 10 cheeseburgers he had for lunch. Seriously, I think that changes will be made but not blown up. I think that Frank and Winger are pretty sharp, they know what needs fixed. If Kawhi agrees the first move I would make would be to either move Cassell to the head coaching position or fill it from outside.

My condolences to you on your loss last night.

Lou admitted after G7 that he was mentally out of it in the bubble because he wasn’t seeing his family. |

Chris Haynes has already reported that Doc will be back as head coach next season, much to Laker fans' happiness. |

| the one thing Clippers have going for them is teams usually give Clippers the anti-Laker discount when dealing with them. |

Doc's return as head coach should squash that idea pretty quickly. |

Presti fleeced the Clippers in the PG deal, had them over a barrel and took full advantage.
Heck, even the Knicks got way too much out of the Clips. |

The problem that the Clippers have about trading is that they have already sold their future draft picks for the next 7 years.. They don't have anything to offer that other teams would want unless they trade the couple of course. Maybe OKC is interested in getting Kawhi and PG for the 5 Clippers picks.  |

This. Nurse might have cost the Raptor’s the series playing Marc as much as he did. Marc was being ignored on offense and was being completely shredded on defense because he was too slow. |
