It's Morant, Melton and Grayson Allen. Unless they think Dillon Brooks is a 2. Yeah, Brooks can be a 2. I'm not happy about this. That's an easy number to match for Delon. Super disappointed because I've liked everything else they've done. If they were gonna go full youth movement then why re-sign Valanciunas? 11 minutes ago, NYRaider said: I don’t think they wanted to pay him $9.5M a year to be Morant’s backup. He could have started at the 2 and then staggered with Morant, like Houston does with Harden and CP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Zubac who is a legit 7', and they have Harrell who is 6'8". The Clippers have length, which is their biggest asset in terms of defense but they offer very little in the way of size. Any team that can effectively use size (i.e. Utah with Gobert, Lakers with AD, etc.) are going to use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland won a title with Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson as their only bigs worth a damn. Toronto just won a title with Gasol and Ibaka as the only "bigs". Size is overrated. The Lakers have Anthony Davis, a bum DeMarcus Cousins and JaVale "I live on Shaqtin' a Fool" McGee. The Clippers roster is flat out better, including their starting 5.

Golden State was literally the exception. They had SO much shooting it isn't even comparable. They had 3 of probably the top 10 best shooters in the NBA. Cleveland won when the Clippers "threw" the series to get KD. And Toronto beat a hobbled Warriors team. None of them are really accurate. And it's not flat out better. Beverley is better than Rondo, specifically his 3PT shooting. But the rest of the starting lineup outside of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard isn't very good. Landry Shamet is by far the worst of the 10 starters. And Zubac isn't very good. McGee outproduced Zubac last year. Fact. And that was even after McGee fell off the face of the earth with his pneumonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers are better. That's all I'll say and all I care to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he'll try to get his but he's not good so it doesn't matter. He was never conducive to winning, even when he was healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Looking at the Lakers roster, they will definitely play slower than last year which is actually good for LeBron. His teams almost always were in the bottom 10 in pace and maybe the faster pace of play last year contributed to his groin injury. So KD is going to wear #7 next year? That's random lol.
