which PG did you have in mind? (beside Cook, Caruso, Daniels, Rondo and Avery Bradley)
I can’t even remember who was available when we signed Cousins. Probably not much due to us letting Kawhi lead us on. We would have had more options earlier in FA. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Mo is playing great but he would not have necessarily been reliable in the playoffs when pressure is at maximum intensity. I'd rather have a vet that's been there before.
Admit I didn't see Wagner play this year, but I'm always careful with players putting good stats for one of the worst team in the league. Sure it's unfortunate we had to dump him for nothing (going after KL was worth the shot), but would he even be playing if he played for the Lakers ? Do we go after Dwight if we keep him ?
I doubt that we go after Cousins if we kept him
It would be unwise to piss off AD, Cousins wanted to be a Laker, and we had a need for a big with or without Wagner.

You're right that the Clippers didn't go after Dwight, but who knows where he ends up had the Lakers spurned his advances?

This is what it always comes back to...
"We could've had someone else!!1!11!"
"who?"
"I don't know but it coulda been someone!"
I've checked the FA list. If sorry ass Cory Joseph got $10M, and Satoransky got about the same, we should be kissing Rondo's feet and rubbing Caruso's bald spot right now. We literally could not have done better.

Well if we didnt wait on Kawhi, almost anyone.
George Hill was the only logical option, however when AB became available, one could argue the smaller commitment made to KCP still makes more sense. Hill got 3 years and $29M.

Big mistake on their part.
They have enough DNP players. He would never see minutes over Harrell, who is a much better player. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
i don’t mind who we have given up when we could have 2 of top 5 to top 10 players. It’s much much easy to get good role players than superstars, especially they are in top 5 to top 10

Howard is stronger and a more physical defensive player than Zubac, he was seen as a malcontent and this is why teams shied away from him. He'd take a few minutes from Zu and all of Patterson's.
But if the Clippers are investing in Zubac, that move could have long term benefits...just don't expect too much from Zu this year. He scores in an offensively challenged starting lineup, and most of his big scoring games still result in a negative +/- for him.

Had they had the foresight that our management had, they would’ve pursued him. We’re splitting minutes between Mcgee, Howard, and Davis.
They would’ve found plenty of minutes for Howard.
