I highly doubt he's healthy. I also think Grant HIll and Team USA are taking the fall for dismissing Kawhi so the Clippers don't come off as dream killers or villains for a player wanting to play for his country. All bullsh*t aside, it didn't make sense for a star player to miss the playoffs then turn around and play for Team USA in the Olympics.
Think he's “healthy” but not in shape and they didn't want to let him hang around on the team to get in shape.

We got one with Jordan Miller :wow:


Liked him not bringing the ball down here and basically just shooting from where he got it.

Miller might be ready to get some run with the regular team. With Dunn incoming and if Miller is legit were probably going to get rid of Bones and Powell. Especially if the Tyus Jones shyt is accurate.

I was thinking the pursuit of Tyus Jones came because the Dunn deal wasn't happening


-Anyways give Miller a real NBA contract, move a couple of guards, get Dunn or Tyus, and go from there. I think this is the real Jordan Miller as he bodied the G League last season and he plays defense. No need for a Zack Lavine now. Also Christie will be legit.. he just needs a year in the G League and weight room.

My understanding is Dunn deal still happening.

Not as good of a game from Miller but I like his ability to draw fouls. He said he's worked on it with norm who is good foul baiter. Better game from Kobe.

He's now being game planned for by the defense after he dropped the 36. Still a pretty good game from him. He puts a ton of pressure on the defense got to the line and knocked down all his free throws. Now we get to see how his game adjusts as he can't fly under the radar anymore. Much better game from Kobe simply because he knocked down a few threes. Both of these guys got a serious chance to get some minutes this year. Cam Christie is a year away. Moussa is playing much better now. No three point shot which means he would be a small ball center. Maybe the Clipps get interested again and pick him back up which would mean Kai Jones is out.

First I've heard about LaVine to LAC, what hypothetical package was this looking like?

Something with a combination of Coffey, Mann, Norm, Bones, and probably Tucker. Hearing Chicago is attaching picks to get off the contract.

Kobe probably gets a look with the main club before Jordan, because of the teams need for size. But he's food on defense due to lack of rim protection and foot speed.

Unless we get rid of Russ, Bones, Mann, Norm idk that we see Jordan. Think we should be looking to move Coffey because Jordan is younger and cheaper I assume.

Kobe is already on the main club. Not sold on him 100% but they're should be no TJ Tuckers in his way to screw his season up this time around. Jordan is already on a two-way deal and he should get a standard contract eventually. I honestly believe he makes either Mann or Coffey expendable. He's got a higher ceiling than both of them imo.

I also think we gotta keep Diabate in the fold. He's starting to turn the corner and Kai Jones seems like a pipe dream right about now. The only issue is that Diabate is 6'9" and doesn't shoot threes which means he can't play PF.. small ball center I guess. This SL team is fun as hell to watch. Dahntay Jones got them running & playing hard nosed defense. He might have next on the coaching circuit :wow:

WTF is this clown talking about? Team USA & Grant Hill did us a solid by shutting Kawhi down for the Olympics :gucci:

Yeah, I meant pathway to actual minutes. Mann and Coffey both better defensively than Miller, but he has more offensive juice. He's also good operating without ball in his hands. Agree with you assesemtb of the gleauge team. All for a grit n grind era of the clippers.

Diabate has no vert and is too much of a finesse player imo. Really wish we would have kept Hartenstein instead of chasing Wall because Pg and Kawhi were crying about ball handling responsibilities.

Teams ceiling right now is probably 5-6 seed. Floor is probably 9 or 10 seed.
