“ the Clippers have the opportunity to match any contract any other team offers”

Fucking A. I’ve been worried about this all year because I don’t fully comprehend how it works. Did all those two-way contract years count as full years played or something? Totally confused

He doesn’t have to sign it if he feels he can get a better deal elsewhere. I think he can get a better deal elsewhere.

Most think Utah holds onto the better player for todays nba in Mitchell , however I think Mitchell forces his way out leaving Utah with pieces and picks to surround gobert with. Just my gut, getting gobert here sorta pipedream imo

So kawhi PG13’s health is going to be instrumental. Some better rebounding will help though, whether that’s addressed with health of kawhi pg13 being back and improvement of our guys
Or we make trade. Any extra help we can give our superstars we have to do it. Clock is ticking
And like others have said every little bit (whatever future picks we do have left, sweetners) have to go ALL IN! I think the organization will do this.
We will be better then the lakers for sure at this point The Who really cares ! Our competition is the league and winning a chip is the focus not the dumpster fire lakers anymore lol

What does hart value? He’s a young dude that came outta nowhere so you would think payday he can ring chase couple years from now if he stays consistent and improving !
I think we trade and end up keeping one of hart or Coffey imo
If we get an upgrade at center, not holding my breath gobert / turner
If Zu’s included in trade maybe we can keep hart for the bench, if Zu’s not included then hart is gone and Zu comes offf the bench.
But then again if Morris and Zu are traded for some reason you can make a case for hart and Coffey both being a need.
Lotta rabbit holes
Lucas is just waiting to give us an awesome methodical write up on all the hypotheticals once season ends free agency bout to start, draft and all the juicy rumors start flying! Lucas you know we want you now but we know it’s coming brother lol

Always trying to win and staying ready, also just doing the little fundamental type things that lead to success. Contract wise a different story ,,but yes him batum type vets awesome for our type of team.

Question is do we trade/trim a wing or 2 in trade to upgrade and have the need for Coffey?
No trade he’s not going to be needed unless we have big time injuries again….. fuck wish I didn’t even have to think or even type that!
If we do loose Coffey just hopefully not to a team we hate
Lakers, warriors, suns, Philly , minny

But yeah I get it if we’d had a crystal ball

Let’s not forget the guys that left to different systems that barely play/d ……
Jamal Crawford , Lou will
Etc. maybe not the best examples but it’s. A huge gamble that nic gets everything he’s getting non money wise here on the clippers on some other team.

Only question is how he will do it contract wise
