Hate to lose Reggie, but a change was needed. Best wishes Reggie, Luke, and John Wall. Go Clips!
I don’t know about these moves man very confusing
Bones Hyland was my guy. He is good.
Into a contender? With role players? No…
Good moves, will need Russ after buyout tho imo
The team is old and unathletic. They didn't fix that. The wings are all so old. Eric Gordon is a complete joke move. Why move Kennard for such an old dude? Should have got players like Vanderbilt or PJ Washington or Jalen McDaniels. Love Bones Hyland but don't like the other moves. If the Clippers don't win I think they should consider blowing it up. The team is so old. Why is Morris still here? This old slow unathletic team lost to the Mavs without Luka and they bring in more old dudes. Suns Mavs Nuggets Lakers Grizzlies Pelicans it is going to be a bloodbath. Fingers crossed but I don't like their chances. At least they didn't use a first on FVV!
They need to pick up Serge after being waived. Zu and Plumlee no threats offensively
I aint gonna lie. I want Russ. Know he dont provide floor spacing but I think he can help speed up the pace oppose to PG and Kawhi always having to play in the half court.
We don’t need or want Russ, he will expose our flaws no matter how good he plays
Not thrilled with losing Luke for Gordon, or how John didn't fit it. But I guess they were both over-investments on the return.
Gordon might have some miles left as an 11 or 12, but the other two are def upgrades at their position.
Our Cs should both be durable and productive. Their footspeed is all that worries me vs the current opposition.
Russ next, he can actually fit in our offense cause we got shooters
We don’t need a traditional point guard… we got Mann and Point Paul‼️
Agree on all points. Hate to see Kennard go but always great to see a beloved player (EG) come back to an organization. Likewise, trading away Reggie felt like a move the FO had to do in order to save Lue from himself. Happy to see we got some pieces to shore up our weaknesses and excited to see how it all plays out.
First time here and, I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised with the sound input you delivered. Very good takes and I have to admit that I agree with you on the Reggie dealing. However, they could have landed VanVleet by letting go of Terrence. As difficult as that would have been to swallow, VanVleet has championchip experience and could alleviate some of that pressure on our wings that you already talked about.
Was up with russ
might FVV or Kyle Lowry be available on the buyout market?
Before more people start jumping on the sun's bandwagon. 3 words New Jersey Nets.
Let's just watch the season play out especially after the all-star weekend.
Clippers can win the championship with this team.
Comments are silly. Plumlee is a great pick up or trade. He is a starting big that we have a back up now. We definitely do not need Russ. John Wall experiment should of shown you that. Eric Gordon off the bench and if we need him to play down the stretch as point guard is good. He’s a vet player and will do good because he has higher basketball IQ. Him or Norman powell can play point if we need another shooting threat on the court down the stretch. The other young guy bones shouldn’t get that much playing time yet. Develop him more if you choose to which I think they will. Good pickups for the clippers. We didn’t give up much. Got rid of Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, who I did like like but played timid a lot of times if you ask me. And we got rid of John wall, who I liked but didn’t fit the scheme of the team. This team is for shooters and defenders. Yes we can use a pg but I’m glad we didn’t get rid of Terrance Mann for it. Mann will be a star in his role on a championship team. Paul George has to stop turning the ball over so much and we will be alright.
Clips gang!
Love the moves! Sad to see Luke go… We didn't really solve our point guard dilemma tho…
The Bulls of the 90's didn't have a traditional pg or the Lakers of the 2000, they had Ron Harper as the point. Clippers can start a big starting 5.
LETS GO CLIPPERS‼️🔴🔵🔥
Mason plumlee is a pointless move. In the playoffs the Clippers play small ball.
Great commentary. Totally spot on!
As a nuggets fan all I can say is he's fun to watch. But he literally quit on the team when Michael Malone was out on covid protocol he just went to the locker room in 2nd quarter because he was mad at the assistant coach for his minutes can't quit on your team like that.
After Jokić, the only player in the nuggets is Bones, who is an AL STAR. Bones got fired,,, said Bones – it's not going like this anymore. A small coach without courage, he does not like to hear that he is not a great coach, that Porter and Murray are players who will betray him in important games. Here now MPJ against Orlando Magic by two points 3-16 and 3 points 3-12, and the little coach without courage did not replace him and let him roam the court. 34 minutes.
HERE WE GOOOO BAYYBBEEEEE!!!
Bones is an exciting player. Nuggets fans loved him. Bones has great confidence and is a rising star. He can score the ball. Coach Lue will be a great coach for Bones. Good move. He will be missed by Nug fans.
I like the moves we did. I don’t see what EG brings to the team. I feel like he has lost a step, doesn’t have much of a roll on this team. I love Plum he reminds me a more traditional Hartenstein. h has a better handle and range. But Plum rebounds and can pass. Most important we desperately needed a big. Bones is really interesting I think he could be our 6 man. He reminds me of a young Lou Will. I think he will be able to flourish with TLue. I’m
Excited about our new role players. I think they will know there role and play well. Go Clips!
Bones seems more like a young Lou Will than Reggie Jackson. Much better slasher.
Great takes
The nuggets want Brown to play point guard because of his defense
Just only thinking about beating the Nuggets? You also now have to worry about Suns, Mavs!
The question now will be the center position, because I believe Mason is better than Zubac overall..I understand Zu will continue to start as the season goes, but Plumlee has better quickness and speed, and more importantly has better IQ..
Welcome back Eric Gordon!
Oh they did John Wall dirty dirty. He might as well retire cause they going to probably sit him out the rest of the year again.
