Maybe they’re a pretty good team and the Clippers got a quality road win. In addition, our friend Hartenstein had 14 rebs and did his job to keep Embiid from completely dominating the game to give Brunson and Co a chance. If we had Hartenstein as our backup big vs Milwaukee instead of John Wall flossing his teeth on the sidelines, we win that game. We’d probably be 10 games above .500 if we had simply kept Hart.

Phoenix offered CP3 + Crowder + picks.

Lakers offered their 2 unprotected first round picks + some of their roster players like Reaves Russell’s salary

I think Brooklyn really wanted Dinwiddie. He developed there as a player, has loyalty to the organization and he’s a 6’6″ guard who is an alpha scorer.

I think the Clips offer was the best to provide complementary players for KD. The Mavs offer was better if you’re planning for KD’s exit.

I don’t think KD will be a Brooklyn Net next season.

The Clippers’ offer tells us a few things: 1. They’re committed to winning the chip this year; 2. They are aware of weaknesses and are going to explore every option to address them; 3. They value Norm Powell as a legit #3 scoring option.

I think the Clippers can do quite well with the rotational backcourt of Terance Mann, Reggie Jackson and Paul George if Lue steps up his coaching.

If they just get another legit big and a legit athlete at the 4/5, I think they win the chip. Think Jakob Poeltl and Christian Wood or something along those lines. Ideally, I’d like them to replace Roco AND add a true back up to Zubac.

I mean..Kawhi doesn’t speak, PG13 doesn’t always demand respect (the point of the game is not to pass to the other team)

BUT let’s not kid ourselves here…the role players the Mav’s acquire moving forward are defense minded.
