Clips named Mann as part of the starting line up with PG, Kawhi, Zubac and Russ. I like Mann but a bit wary of playing Kawhi at PF full-time. We have 3 PFs making MLE or better money, 2 of whom seem very playable still (Nico and RoCo). Nico and RoCo might be out of the rotation and maybe Mook becomes a distraction without playing time. Maybe this is posturing for a Harden trade (Powell, Mook and prospects/picks).

The difference imo
And I have no proof is that bones will equate to winning
While norm surely does not

So much negativity for Norm. I get it.. at times he can be a chucker. He’s notoriously a slow starter but I feel he fits the team pretty well. You could argue he was our 3rd best player the last couple years. I mean the dude put up 17 pts off the bench, more than any other bench player last year. Bones looking real solid for sure.. he definitely looks like he’ll be taking a leap forward in his progress this year. Hopefully he’s not out long. But on the bright side it’s nice to have Norm for just this exact scenario right? Insurance for our injury prone roster.

I’m with you 110% on this !
Don’t know why lue can’t tell him to stop playing his game that way and adapt/sacrifice for what the clippers actually need of him ?

Norm has been horrible, and me personally do not/and never really cared for his game. He had a mild overpaid contract blazers wanted out of , I always liked ROCO better out of that deal. Norms game ruins our team imo! Might be stuck with him? Bones was fucking on fire last night , and he made some of the really hard plays/shots/steals look easy .

I actually think Amir has had a solid preseason. But he’s more of a connective piece and in these lineups is asked to create more

Agreed but I don’t think anyone wants Norm’s contract

I know it is preseason but I can no longer stand watching Norm play. From his chucking every time he touches the ball ….. to his foul baiting turnovers.

I don’t think Plumlee is a better defensive center than Zu, not even close, but he does seem to play better defense against Jokic than Zu.

We can match up better with Denver when Zu starts playing smarter defense against Jokic.
