I know I shouldn’t say it because it’s never happened but clippers can make the conf finals if everything swings right

They really don't have any flaws that you can point out other than age but they should have plenty of depth to be able manage the regular season

I think this team is super talented and the pieces make sense

Was listening Fatboys Pod and they did a redraft for 2022

Took Jalen Williams number 1 over Paolo....took Christain Braun over Jabari too

Hot take

I said this before last season ended but Jalen could have a rise similar to Frankenstein era Harden if he was playing on his own team

So I’m not even completely mad at the Jalen >> paolo stuff

I can envision it

Not saying I disagree because I see it too.....but keep in mind Jalen Williams is 2 years older than Paolo which does make a difference

Dunn
Harden
Kawhi
DJJ
Zubac

Paul
Beal
Batum
Collins
Lopez

Leaving Bogdan out is tough but Beal completely makes him redundant and I need Batum out there

I woul flip Dunn and Beal simply because Dunn will eventually get played off the court in the playoffs....but he is going to be a crucial depth piece to get them through the regular season and will get plenty of opportunities to start

Maybe in 2 years paolo will shoot better than 32% 3PT and 73% FT and have a better shot selection

But maybe I need to see him this year play with an actual spacer in Bane and with a table setter in tyus

Maybe it was just too much burden on paolo

Ive talked about that before....if Paolos shot selection is just how hes wired and hes going to take bad shots.....or was a he a victim of the circumstances with the lack of spacing and not having anyone else who could do anything offensively(Franz let him down in the playoffs)

I lean towards the latter....I think hes going to be more efficient with the additional spacing and having more help on that end of the court.

Why would he get played off the floor? Not enough of a threat offensively?

That makes sense

That rotation was regular season though

Playoffs I would have Dunn come off the bench over Chris Paul and shrink it to 9 or maybe take out Collins and keep Paul

Yeah in theory he should just take better shots now that he has some players around that fit him better
