Need a back up PG to JH and try to keep him as fresh as possible come PO time.

Right. My thinking was that they would throw their entire MLE at someone like Brogdon. Now, they only have $6 million of it left. Is that enough for Brogdon?

Bucks outsmart the Clippers.

Who needs Brook Lopez when you can get Myles Turner?  Turner might be a little worse than Lopez right now, but he is younger, which is what Milwaukee needed.

But Turner came with a hefty price tag of about $25 million per season - and a longer one too - compared to $9million for a 2 year contract.

And this is for a guy who will be a back up to Zu.

I believe we should be content with the kind of production we will get from Lopez for that kind of money while backing up for Zu.

Also, the FO is trying to align the commitments with the 2 year contracts of KL and JH.

Not happy with this age old players but we will see how far these guys can take us and if they reach POs.

I agree with vbramha. I'm good with the Lopez signing. This is exactly the kind of player we need to deal with all the size in the West.

We still need an answer at backup PG, so hopefully it's someone who can play both sides of the floor.

I mean I like Turner for the Bucks.

Turner is 8 years younger and can play heavier minutes. Bucks could have re-signed Lopez, but they got younger, which is good for them.

I like Lopez for the Clippers, but think it will encourage more tiny lineups or 3 point cannon lineups. Also sick of old players on the Clippers.

I like Lopez contract, but think he will be misused and I just want younger players overall, even if it means losing some of the current old stars.

I guess he wasn't really needed now that they have the rookie and Brook Lopez

Malik Beasley's barber wants $26K.

Good timing for the Pistons. They were just about to fork over $48 million over 3 years. I wonder what would've happened had they actually signed the contract and then this came down. Would they be able to terminate the contract?

Everyone's been seeing all the CP3 stuff, but I'm also seeing a lot of De'Anthony Melton news.

He's constantly hurt, but if he could give us one good season.... I'd be fine bringing him in.

The POA defense is good. He's a 3 level scorer and a decent athlete.

Plus, how many real Clipper fans have there been in league history?

PG was frontin'... Melton might be the only Cilp lifer in the NBA

Probably.

What kind of a barber lets a customer rack up $26K in debt?

After he didn't pay for the first time, why would the barber ever let him back in, until he settled his bill?

And what is Beasley getting at this barbershop? What kind of haircuts and manicures?

I didn't know that PG was frontin'. Where did you hear that?

Melton would be a good signing but like you said, he's always hurt including pretty much all of last season. I'd like to see him at least run a pick up game before making a decision on him. Could be a moot point as it looks like he's going to the L word

I have no backing for that statement, but I used to watch every Podcast P until he let his friends slander the team.

He'd always talk about the Clippers, but there's something about the way he explained his fanhood that doesn't add up.

He sounds more to me like he was a Kobe fan who didn't really have a rooting interest teamwise.

Either way, it's all good. People can fan how they want to fan, but there's just something off about PG.

I think I realized it most the first time he had TMann on... ZERO accountability for anything...

Super cancerous player, even more so because he seems like a really nice guy

Yeah, I'm with you. When the Pacers had that run about a decade ago with him, Hibbert and Lance Stephenson, I wanted to root for them but there was always something off about PG but I could never put my finger on it. Well, it turns out that he was most likely the guy who was sleeping with Hibbert's fiance. At the time, the Pacers looked like world beaters and then the switch just flipped to OFF. They were getting blown out at home to bad teams and sometimes by as much as 40 to average teams. That's when the rumors starting swirling and it turns out that they were probably true

Of course we saw it play out here during his tenure with the Clips. Flaked out in the bubble and wound up bailing out on the team come free agency time

I’m really interested in seeing if Bradley Beal is cut. I would take him over CP3 just cause I can’t imagine our defense if CP3 and Harden are on the floor together.

I also wouldn’t mind bringing Ben Simmons back. He played solid and the team would keep the chemistry. Or would actually love to see Jordan Miller get minutes.

The best way I can describe PG is that he'll never be in a hurry to care. Wowwwww... people are always in the Trade Machines, but you can't account for that, Lmao! I've heard some very scummy things about CP3 too, so I'm pretty adament about him not coming back.

Harden flakes during the PO's. Why in the blue hell did they sign him? CP at least doesn't disappear. They hated each other in Houston.

I'm going to be disappointed if we don’t resign Jordan miller. Dude has a lot of upside.

Are we tracking any Free Agents at this point?

Can anyone give a breakdown as to what the roster spots look like (if there are any left to play with)?

Besides Jordan Miller and Amir Coffey what is the status of people on our team under 33 years of age LOL

It was so dead for awhile that I just stopped but we all these big name buyouts, I may have to add Beal, Lillard and Smart. I'll get around to it

I honestly do not care to track it if it doesn't involve our team... the upcoming season has gotten away from me!

You never know. The pundits seem to like this team and while the commenters on X are a joke, they all seem to think we're running away with this thing

My question is this? Where would the parade be?

No parade, the pundits are idiots.

I need to get a feel of some basketball to see if these geezers are hungry enough and healthy enough to pull off a Western Conference Finals run, let alone an NBA Finals run...

Depending on how what hand were dealt, this team may even be a 1st round bounce.

We have the experience, clearly. But do we have the stamina and can we roll with the Western Conference teams? I am not to sure. West is STACKED.

I think we all have to be a little realistic about this team. Yes, it is good. Yes, we shored up some weaknesses. And we do have insane depth to cushion for injury and load management. However, I think given the age and propensity towards injury, I think a 2nd round playoff appearance might be the likely outcome. It will take whomever we face a full seven games to oust us, but I just don't see us competing with the younger squads like OKC, Minnesota, or even Houston. Nonetheless, this will be a very fun team to watch until 2027 when we can let go of Kawhi and Harden and make offers to the free agent class of 2027.

Oh yeah, I agree. I was being somewhat facetious. But I will say that the FO is at least trying. Not sure I'm wild about doing the free agency thing again in two years, especially considering that we don't even know who will be on the market but that seems to be what they're thinking. Go all out with this group then get $100 million under the cap and see who bites

For what it's worth, here's a list of players still on the market but it doesn't have much relevance to the Clips as they're now hard capped

Trueblood, you're right. The FO has been trying really hard. Although I had abandoned any hope in the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George experiment after year three, I do have to say that the FO has always made great acquisitions despite not having a sizeable amount of salary to work with. We were SURE to lose Norm Powell to free agency the moment he was up for renewal, but the FO essentially made moves to turn Norm into John Collins, Brook Lopez, and Bradley Beal. These moves were excellent.

Good synopsis. If nothing else, this will be an interesting season in that it's tough to predict. Could work really well but could backfire due to personalities and possibility of injury

I think they year to get excited is 2027. This is when Kawhi comes off the books. In the mean time. These moves have essentially made sure that the Clippers remain a playoff team. Although we are not a clear contender, we will be a tough out, and we won't have to watch our team be terrible while we wait for the rebuild in 2027.

.

Even next year we will have space to sign a max free agent. Harden’s 2nd year is a team option only guaranteeing 13M. I believe we are certainly considered a contender. We’re right there with anyone not wearing a Thunder jersey.

In my opinion, if we get a higher seeding and are healthy going into the playoffs, then anything is possible with this team. They can achieve what many think is improbable!

I don’t care what many of the fans say, this team, IMO, would be fun to watch next season. Pray for the health of the star players.

CP3 is still a very smart player with his ball handling skills and sharp mid range jumpers.

I don't think anyone disputes that this team will be fun to watch. Also, the numbers do show that CP3 still has good ball handling skills and court vision despite coming into his 21st season. I think there are just too many factors that cause me to be cautious about this team's ceiling. For one, we have only seen Kawhi be healthy during the playoffs for two years since he's been here, and both of those times we experienced a second round out. He was technically out a game before we clinched the western conference finals. So the myth that all we need is Kawhi to be healthy to have a shot has kind of been debunked. To that, we are adding Bradley Beal, who is also known to miss a lot of games and Chris Paul. The NBA champion, OKC, is very young and now has one year of experience. The other contenders still look good. The moves we made were excellent considering our salary cap limitations, but I just think it would take a lot of stars to align. And I hate to say it, but I think we've seen some abnormal things happen last year, like CP3 being healthy for 82 games and Kawhi actually being healthy for the entire playoffs duration. So I just don't see those things all happening again. What this year will be is enjoyable. The team, if healthy, will fight hard. But I just don't see it going past the 2nd.

Clips sign Ty Ty Washington and Jordan Miller to 2 way contracts.

Why we spend money on Beal and CP0 is beyond me.

They're going all in on winning a championship in Kawhi's last two years.

Because despite Beal having a “down” year he still scored 17ppg while shooting close to 50% from the field.

He can score in a variety of ways including the 3 ball.

Why wouldn’t we sign Beal?

Cp3 tho old is still a pick n roll maestro and will be a floor general with the bench unit.

Bump. Josh Giddey gets 4 years and $100 million

How do you feel about guys like Josh Giddey and Wander Franco? Well Wander Franco (MLB) hasn't made it back to the league yet.

Each of the past 5 years, a team has gone from play-in or worse, to top 4 in the conference.

New York, Phoenix, Boston, Memphis, Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Minnesota, Orlando, Houston have made big jumps, the past 5 years.

Biggest NBA Season Seed Jumps (2020�"2025)

Season: 2024�"25

Detroit Pistons: 15th East �' 6th East (+9) �" From lottery to playoffs

Houston Rockets: 10th West �' 2nd West (+8) �" Play-in to top 4

Indiana Pacers: 7th East �' 4th East (+3) �" Into top 4 from lower seed

Season: 2023�"24

Orlando Magic: 13th East �' 5th East (+8) �" Rebuilding to playoffs

Minnesota Timberwolves: 8th West �' 3rd West (+5) �" From 8th seed to top 4

Oklahoma City Thunder: 10th West �' 1st West (+9) �" From outside playoffs to #1

Season: 2022�"23

Sacramento Kings: 12th West �' 3rd West (+9) �" Top 4 from out of playoffs

Season: 2021�"22

Memphis Grizzlies: 8th West �' 2nd West (+6) �" Big jump from play-in

Boston Celtics: 7th East �' 2nd East (+5) �" Surged into top of East

Season: 2020�"21

Atlanta Hawks: 14th East �' 5th East (+9) �" Bottom to playoffs

Phoenix Suns: 10th West �' 2nd West (+8) �" Outside playoffs to top 4

New York Knicks: 12th East �' 4th East (+8) �" Outside playoffs to top 4

Will any teams do so this year? San Antonio and Orlando can make the biggest jumps. I'm not going to say top 4, but just the biggest jumps.

If San Antonio is healthy, which they are not, then maybe top 4. Depends on how healthy Fox is.

Utah can also make a jump, but that's because they were so bad last year. A mild jump.

Memphis and New Orleans look to continue to have health problems.

Atlanta might do a mild jump, but that would be because of Jalen Johnson.

I don't trust Charlotte's health, so no for them.
