The Two Remaining Horsemen In A System Reboot -Official LA Clippers '24 off season thread

[pete clemenza]

These are the types of games where we need Big Zu. On to the next one

Lakers
Wolves
Cavs

Last three losses against big teams who control the boards. We go small and mount comebacks in the 4th that fall short

I wanted this win, damn

Been trying to tell people, those losses in particular aren't flukes and will resemble the roadblocks they face in the playoffs, they gotta make a move to recover some of what they traded away for Harden before the deadline.

Could we go big with a Zu and Theis playing 4-5 or maybe even zu and plumlee

All 3 have strenghts against certain teams, Zu being the most adapatable.

Theis should be backing up somebody with more rebounding and lateral quickness.

I said from before the Harden trade that they were a Jerami Grant type player from being 100% dangerous. They still are of course, but lack of size can fukk them over against teams that are technically nowhere near as good as them. They don't wanna see the Lakers in a playoff series with Harden's pace and lack of size.

Harden/Russ
PG/Norm
Kawhi/Mann/Coffey
Legit 4/Theis
Zu/Plumlee

Do you package Mann or Coffey for Grant?

Do you package Mann or Coffey for Grant?

Salary wise you gotta start with Mann and Tucker to even get close. Then some combination of Bones/Brown or Plumlee to round it out, don't think it's feasible but that's what I was thinking before they pulled the trigger on Harden.

So you start with that template and look for the next best things. Dorian Finney Smith is a name I see Clippers fans bring up a lot.

What were looking for is what nearly every other team is looking for: can shoot threes and can guard up a position

The Los Angeles Clippers have positioned themselves for homecourt advantage in the playoffs. After starting 8-10, the Clippers have gone 22-5 entering Wednesday’s road game against the Wizards.

Amid the hot streak, the Clippers are gauging the trade market on Bones Hyland and PJ Tucker, league sources told HoopsHype.

Hyland, a two-time Rising Stars participant, and former All-Rookie selection, began the year as a rotation player for the Clippers but has since had a minimal role with the Clippers following the acquisition of James Harden. With Hyland still signed on his rookie contract before restricted free agency in the summer of 2025, he’s a potential worthwhile flier for a rival team seeking backcourt help.

Tucker hasn’t played since Nov. 27 and has been frustrated with his role and wants to help a good team. Should the Clippers fail to find a suitable trade partner, Tucker is not expected to discuss a buyout, league sources told HoopsHype. The veteran forward has an $11.54 million player option for next season, as noted on our Clippers salaries page.

Very very ugly win, but these the games we woulda lost in the past.

Grant too expensive. Still gotta resign PG and later on Harden. I do agree that Coffey and Mann seem redundant

We would lose these games easily last year. I think the 3rd stringers get some run tomorrow. Pg, Harden, and Kawhi are starting to get gassed.
