Not talking about the starters, We know what Griffin/DJ/Gallo can do, Beverly was a good get, but there other role players don't move the needle, I would say they are likely to be a 7th seed in the WC, I'm not trying to act like the Lakers are perfect or anything |

Most preseason projections have the Clips at about 45 wins and the 7th seed.
Their X factors, as always, is injuries. If they stay healthy, they'll probably be a playoff team, though probably get bounced in the first round. |

Yep, 45-50 wins is there level this season, hopefully Lakers are ready to dethrone them. |

I'd be shocked if we make the playoffs. I think our defense and shooting is going to be near the bottom of the league again. In my eyes, this is a year where we hope the key young guys (mainly Ball and Ingram) show enough to attract some free agents here, but I think the team as a whole will suck. |

Clippers will be better than last year. They have a real deep team. |

Their new PG is exciting, the guy is maybe the most amazing passer in the game. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I don't even think the most avid Clipper hater would think they would be this bad....5-8 record, 6 straight losses and the 4th worst team in the western conference. |

Deandre Jordan sucks to bad. God, CP3 made him look like polished (bleep). |

Hopefully the Lakers can play them a few more times before Blake returns... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.” |

I didn't even realize Gallo had returned. He played two games, injured his butt, and will be out again. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

I rather see Blake on the team when we play them again. He usually disappear during crunch time. |

This could actually be a good move for them. Dump a star with a huge contract that is never going to win, start the rebuild with Jerry West and load up on some draft picks. |

Can't wait for the Austin Rivers-led FA pitch. |

I don't think they did poorly in this. they were going no where and needed to dump him. If they get any notable FAs, it was a good deal. If they swing and miss...oh boy.
lets hope for a strike out. |

Can't laugh. They weren't going anywhere and they were proactive in getting something for Blake ( who they could have lost for nothing last summer ) and CP, the same.
If they can get decent things for Jordan and Williams, then I'd be strangely optimistic, if I was a Clipper fan.
Put Jerry West in a room with free agents and maybe good things happen, again. |
