It's too dependent on KL's long-term health. |

They kinda remind me of the 14-15 Cavs. I saw that starting lineup and knew it was doomed from day 1. Lebron with Kyrie/Love/Varejao. And sure enough, they all went down that year. Beverley/Kawhi/PG give me that same vibe, but part of me is secretly terrified that they'll all be healthy come playoff time, lol. They could easily be down a man or two, though. |
even when Kawhi is "healthy" his degenerative leg cant take the toll of the NBA playoffs. He will be slowed down after the first series. |
Yes, he couldn’t survive the playoffs last season. |
With PG there, the Clips will probably play both very carefully now. They won't run them ragged.
Personally I want the Lakers to complete the team with the necessary parts to beat the Clippers or any other team, regardless of who they have. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team ! |

If I were the Clips I’d play them alternating games, try to minimize the mileage up to playoffs. |

Leonard hasn’t played since suffering a left knee contusion in the second half of the Clippers loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. |

Paul George is more important to the Clippers anyway. Kawhi's just a good player these days ... when he's available. |

Funny to see how the narrative has changed with Leonard.
Comments about his health and leg issues made during free agency were generally dismissed and at times mocked.
Same player, same leg issue but now it is undesirable because he is a Clipper problem? |

Not that many people were really paying attention to Kawhi and the East last year, they wouldn't have really understood the severity of it. |

I mean, it's obvious why isn't it? Lebron + AD + a hobbled Kawhi is far better than anything the rest of the league could put together, considering he wouldn't have gone to the Clippers.
PG + hobbled Kawhi is far more debatable. |

I’m not convinced he’s hobbled. The league has said he can’t sit without having an official injury listed. They’re just gaming the system. I’m sure he could play if he needed to. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

He hasn't really been a worldbeater in the games he has played either. I do agree that there's a degree of asset protection going on here. |

Hasn’t been a world beater? He’s putting up 27/9/6 (all career highs) while leading the league in 4th quarter scoring. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

All of Kawhi's misses have been flat and he's had really really inefficient starts to games, where he just doesn't look like a good player..and doesn't live up to any good standard on defense. He looks like post-groin Lebron..who still ultimately got numbers, but just didn't look/play great. If Lebron was having stretches in every game like Kawhi, and looking not great athletically, and sitting out games... man, the #washed talk would be at an all time high.
We at least gotta admit he looks like post-groin Lebron..... it's definitely something... obviously he can possibly recover, but it's obvious somethings amiss |

Have we talked about Oladipo as a potential signing in 2 years? If James opted out and took a little less that would be one potent core. The kid is a descent facilitator, stud defender and well rounded player, an ideal fit.
Bradley or Caruso(resigned)
Oladipo

healthy Dipo is a lot better than Beal I'm pretty sure.. But who knows how his knee will heal. Beal's 3pt% aint even above average anymore, for a couple years |

LeBron take a little less than the $41,002,273 that he could make if he doesn't opt out?
How much money is a little less? |

I don’t know of any reason he might opt out other than to sign a max at the new cap number. If he does opt out and signs a 3-5 year deal, would it trigger the Over 38 rule? That could be painful. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
