    what exactly would’ve keeping PG have cost the clips? They made a few changes but with PG and Kawhi healthy (big if) they still would be contenders…

    They’ll be lucky to avoid the play in. A few injuries to harden and leonard (almost garunteed at least one of them will miss significant time) they may miss the playoffs entirely. Everyone but the trailblazers and spurs are expected to compete for playoff spots in the west .

    Clippers not better than OKC, Nuggets, Mavericks or Timberwolves in the West.

    They might be 5th best. Or they might be 12th best. Think they’re closer to 12th.

    They can’t. Harden is washed and Kawhi just had his healthiest season in like 7 years and still could only play 2 playoff games

    The team will be nice defensively but has mid spacing. Most likely outcome is Harden choking again, but this time in the play-in

    You would have to be a colossal idiot to make any “plans” that included Kawhi, and I’m a huge Kawhi stan

    Contend for what? A play in spot? A first round exit? Cause he smoking crack if he means contend for a championship.
