[NBA Central] The Clippers could still re-sign Russell Westbrook and acquire Chris Paul, per @LawMurrayTheNU “The Clippers would not be shutting the door on Westbrook even if they could acquire Paul, league sources not authorized to speak publicly tell The Athletic.”

What teams can offer Westbrook money?
really should just be one or the other (or neither if they can make a swing for a better option obv). would be burying Terance and Bones further on the depth chart
That would be great. With Ty as coach we’re top contenders (if healthy, yea that’s a BIG if)
Without Westbrook this team would have no fucking leader.
It all depends on what the terms of the deals are. If we can consolidate a couple of meh older guys into CP, then its probably fine to run him off the bench while Westbrook starts. Glancing down our roster though, we’d be in danger of making it very guard heavy. Maybe another trade would be necessary for roster balance.
Ty would probably play Russ and CP together and we’d play like ass all season.
It could work but we would probably need to send Norm and Bones out in a trade to get a starting level PF.
Bones needs playing time to develop. He won’t get that with both CP3 & Russ being on the team. It’s time for the Clippers to move towards a different era because Kawhi & PG ain’t getting it done. Too many injuries.
im cool with both on the squad but FO better prioritize brodie
At this point the only player that should return next season is Bones and some young guys. I say this out of respect but start over. Im sure if u move everyone u can get back a ton of assets and draft picks. Whats the point in dealing with u certainty knowing those guys been injured and likely won’t return. Kawhi has shown he can’t be relied on and Paul George while more durable and got hurt of misfortune more than anything still got hurt. It just isn’t worth it when u know your best players can’t play. Then u got a bunch of guys well besides Marcus Morris that can really help other teams compete. U are wasting there time too. So I say just blow it up out of respect for the vets and the fans.
6-7 years ago any rumor of westbrook cp pg and kawhi linking would of broke the internet, now not so much but parting with tmann or bones no sir
It’s weird how much the clippers are showing up in rumor mills considering the reputation of the front office. Almost feels forced tbh?
Having Russ and Chris Paul works in theory, it’d be kinda interesting if you have Russ and CP3 have their own squads they run with on the Clippers—
Russ primarily plays with: PG, T-Mann, EG, Bones, Batum, Amir, Plumlee
CP3 primarily plays with: Kawhi, Preston, Zubac, Powell, BBJ, RoCo, Diabate
Russ will push the pace and start the game with momentum in transition. CP3 can come in and disrupt the game with a change of pace and play more inside out.
I wanna see Brodie come back home
Fuck CP. Don’t need him, especially at this stage of his career on this team.
Don’t need a charity/legacy signing.
Noooooooooo
Just do it
