definitely I have mixed feelings about norm. obviously love the scoring, but the d and lack of rebounding (and so so many fouls and turnovers) is cause for sever consternation. plus just didn’t seem like he showed up when we really needed him, e.g., in the playoffs, with kawahi out or during the regular season in similar moments. i’m really good with trading him if we get back something with better rebounding and d; even if less scoring.

I think they keep Norm–just too good on the offensive side and if can just improve 10% on D it’d be noticeable.

If we can somehow flip PG13 for Julius Randle + 2 1st’s that NYK has that would be the best case scenario for the Clippers.
You address the #4 problem , you don’t command money that is longer than the KL deal.
You add Harden on a “soft” deal somewhere in the 30’s and move on from Norm for more rotation pieces to be under second apron.

Trade Norm for whatever young player you can get or pick. Let Bones cook with the 2nd unit.

Kawhi was an MVP-level monster for an extended stretch this season. I want to see him be that again. On the Clippers.

I think we should trade KL but his value is at an all time low right now. KL is the only player we have that could net us a good young player + multiple 1st rd draft picks. But he needs to build his value back up over the next season before making that trade.

Clippers really need to “hit” on getting what they can for pg13 and kawhi Leonard .. both players
Not just one ! And by hit they need a young piece that comes back to be really good in order for the clippers to not be totally fucked for the next ten yrs etc.
for example , let’s say they trade with pelicans and can get trey Murphy outta the pelicans . The trey Murphy piece when given the full reins on the clippers has to flourish ! Or let’s say Jalen Johnson from Atlanta , Josh giddy from thunder , Jaden Ivey from Detroit , kuminga, shaedon sharp, jabbari smith jr. Whoever etc..
that young player/s coming back have to be a “hit”
We then need to get some picks back on the cupboard and lastly open up as much max cap space as posssible to rape whatever unrestricted free agents out there off the market to the desirable “LA market/intuit some money bags ballmer”
And maybe even a restricted free agent if he’s actually worth the patience and challenge it is to get him.
Use max cap space to give clippers new life , new hope for the coming years where we have little to no draft picks.
Otherwise if we run it back with kawhi pg13 harden etc with the same results/failures
Ballmer will lose alot of fans surely and that should be the last thing he should wanna do after he doubled the clippers fans base over the years . Nobody cares about a new stadium if the product is constantly injured/not good enough and just sucks .
Product has to be believable, has to give fans some hope.
The state we’re in now is pretty hopeless. Where’s the line in the sand ballmer? At what point do you say enough is enough? One more season ?
Lastly pg13 would be stupid at this point to re sign if he doesn’t get a NTC
And if he doesn’t get it clippers need to trade him as soon as his stock is high enough for a decent return .
Thank god kawhi doesn’t have a NTC ! Funny thing is nobody wants him like John wall right now
Until he can prove to be healthy or explosive enough that a desperate team takes a chance .. hold on tight clippers fans , things are bound to get worse before better
I believe ….

Again I I don’t see any kawhi trades… we’re screwed unless we can move him for atleast a “blake griffin to the pistons package”

You have Kawhi Leonard as our starting SF ?
You know the chances of him playing a ton in the regular season is very high
And most likely he doesn’t play in or very little in the postseason due to injury !
I like the ideas out of the box on your trades but we cannot depend on Kawhi Leonard at all .
We will be super lucky if he proves to be a little healthy at beginning of next season and some team gives us a “disgruntled/injury prone star package in a return trade “

It really feels like the draft order doesn’t matter, given the abysmal track record of draft picks for this FO.
