It’s tough to say now. But a backup point guard of some kind would have been my target.

I don’t want to trade Zu, and I haven’t seen any specific rumors about who we’d get in return. I was just saying that at least one of Zu and Bev would prob have to be shipped out if the Clips are looking to get anybody significant (e.g. Jrue) in return. Depending on who the Clips would get in return I might be ok with shipping out Zu (but it’d have to be a really good haul), but more than anything, I’d really rather just tinker a bit around the edges (e.g. let Trez leave, get a real backup C) and hire a new coach.

I haven’t tracked the trades thrown out but assume y’all are talking about some package including Zu and Bev for Jrue? Who soaks up the 30 mpg at center and an can defend Joker/AD/Porzingis? I like Jrue and he helps with our offensive flow and point of attack defense, but feel like a trade like that leaves us with more holes.

I’d rather try and get a competent 3rd wing and pray that Doc can utilize him to help contain wings and guards like how Kawhi and PG “contained” Murray for the most part. Then get the backup big to Zu so our bench units don’t hemorrhage points.

Yep couldn’t agree more . Everybody on the table. We might have to improve just to be competitive with the teams for 2021 free agency , hopefully whatever we do this offseason the FO has 2021 in mind .
A big like Giannis or pg like Jrue could be free agents then and maybe pair with kawhi better then pg or keep og and try lure third star. This free agency will be pretty telling imo about how the FO try’s to win and now and in the future .
Back to the matter at hand Bev and Zu are our best trade assets along with maybe Lou who I doubt gets traded but yes everything on the table!

I assume this is your source: https://clipperholics.com/2020/09/18/ralph-lawler-didnt-see-la-clippers-contender-thoughts-sga/

Ralph didn’t say the team *should* trade Zu, but acknowledges he could be moved for the right return. For what it’s worth I agree – nobody should be untouchable other than Kawhi, and unfortunately, Bev and Zu are probably the Clips’ best trade assets since we don’t have any draft capital left. Nobody other than Trez though should be moved just for the sake of it – all the other guys on the roster, if they’re traded, should be traded for *some* kind of value (e.g. draft picks, better talent, fit, etc.).

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks Bev and Zu should be traded. Read that our very own Ralph lawyer has similar views.
Also if pg13 can fetch us what we need he’s a goner. Supposedly we went after Jrue holiday before pg13 and New Orleans Said he was untouchable.
For all the pg supporters’ we shall see what the FO does. More importantly we need to keep cap space open for 2021
Lakers will be trying to add a big three among many other teams, unless pg13 shows up big this coming season BEST BET we will be trying to pair a new superstar/s
With kawhi.

Someone said before the playoffs “if the Clips get unexpected contributions from a random non-213 player” they’ll be in good shape. Mook was the only guy who came even close to that. Maybe he had a few behavioral brain-farts; but he more than made up for them … or at least more so than anyone else on the team except maybe Kahwi and Zu (who each consistently played to expectations).

So he gets a passing grade and hardly anyone else does.

Something something chemistry. Something something energy. Something something hustle.

Nuggets have already proven their legit even if they end up loosing the series.

Vogel benching his obviously ineffective center. With someone else had the balls to have done that…

I don’t disagree but who would you have rather acquired? You probably wrote about it at some point but feels like a decade ago.
