So offer was extended to Moses Brown to be our backup C. Another homecoming – UCLA alum

yup, we hardly knew Keon but it’s certainly good vibes towards him and his future in Portland

Finally just watched Keon tear it up for Portland last night on DVR. While I’m thrilled with the return we got for him it makes me happy being an old Blazers fan to see that they got a nice player back in what many have called a fleecing on our part. Blazers might not be finished making runs yet if Shaedon pans out too.

Hope Keon keeps it rolling and glad we have both BJJ and Coffey still for the youth movement.

Let’s’ go Moussa!

Sure, which is why after a 2-for-1 consolidation trade, we’d go 10 deep with proven NBA vets and Amir Coffey as 11th man, with Brandon Boston also capable for emergency wing depth. And I’d sign a high-floor vet min depth C rather than gamble in training camp. Nobody is saying depth doesn’t matter, just that the Clippers’ is excessive and redundant.

Even if someone breaks their leg in training camp (always possible, but flukey), Amir won’t be playing on opening night, and Brandon Boston definitely won’t be. If two guys get season-ending injuries in training camp, we’ll be lucky that we didn’t make a consolidation trade, but building your team-building strategy around that feels more paranoid than prudent.

My only point was that you can’t bank on health in this league.

You’re right, we should trade PG for 3 role players to shore up spots 13, 14, and 15 with capable vets.

Just in: A Charlotte guard just had surgery for a broken leg sustained in a SL "practice" yesterday. Not even in a game but a practice. Just goes to show that the word "healthy" should never be used to describe an NBA team, ever. Better to use the phrase "as yet uninjured." Maybe. So I'm just telling the consolidation trade crowd here that our depth rn is very valuable. Very.

Moussa has to be aware of the pressure to perform knowing that Hart’s gone and that his spot on the team has a huge “vacancy” sign, flashing in bright neon. If Moussa can adequately perform given the circumstances (I know, “it’s just SL”), then clipper fandom will light up. I think we’re all hoping he pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

That was me, I plead nolo to that. He was terrible–forcing everything and making nothing. Almost as if he was there under protest to show that SL was a mockery. Or, maybe, just maybe, he thereafter had something to prove.
But on the flip side, the guys in SL are not bad b ball players. In fact, they are handpicked for their potential to be productive NBA players and have a track record of accomplishment in college and pro. So, IMO, SL guys who show out should not just be poo poo’d based on “It’s SL,” but credit should be given and possibly, somnolent eyes will be opened.
