The KPJ pickup alone will be a huge boost for the Clippers. He was averaging over 30 ppg once the tank was over in Houston. He and Harden would train together in the Rockets facility during the off seasons so there is chemistry there. Gonna be fun to watch.
With a healthy Kawhi, the Clips are one athletic 4, and 2nd scoring option away from contending. But it all starts and ends with Kawhi’s health. I’d say look out for them making a sneaky move, probably monitoring players like KD (if he’s not a Timberwolf) and Brandon Ingram.
I appreciate your take. I think it’s important for someone to become a leader, plus it’ll be important to have someone step up be added as a true power forward and guys like T Mann and Zu must step up to become more consistent offensive producers too. Go Clippers!
Respect I agree totally your opinion, our defense will be alot better on the defensive end. Losing paul george was a blessing, because he's not worth $212 million, also we traded 3 unprotected 1st round picks and 2 pick swaps for PG..Finally I became a LAC STYLE FAN back in 1986, while visiting LA. Do the math that 38 years ago. Stop the buffonery 30-9 against the St Paul Lakers last 10+ seasons
jones jr had to play along side kyrie(takes 4 shots for every assist he makes). When kyrie has the ball he is most likely gonna shoot, players move without the ball more for harden who takes less than two shots for each assist.. I look for Mann and Jones jr to get lots of passes from harden and I see the clippers offense being more spread around. KPJ is a real wild card. If he learns from hardens and it rubs off on him he could be a great add. He could also be a bust if he doesnt play within the system or acts up and gets banned or suspended again.
People forget how good regular season Harden is. They still got Bones and Powell to carry the offense, Dunn and Porter are both great 6th man. This team would make the playoffs without Kawhi. Plus, I doubt this is the final roster. Expect another Center or wing (Looking at you TrailBlazers, Wizards) by the trade deadline.
@@arguseyed9982 The west is more stacked for next season than the last season that I don’t see the Clippers even making it back there given how their offseason this year, they got worse than better.

Clamp City Clips AKA Lock City Clippers!🔐🚢📈 there going to be either the 5th or 6th seed in the West and Kris Dunn is going to finally make an NBA All Defensive team
they are a better team this year than they would have been signing PG. PG's contract demands would have killed the rotation. Deeper teams have the luxury of resting injured players during the grueling season. Im still not sure about their rim protection/rebounding, but perimeter defense got better and younger means transition defense is also better. When you look at the numbers, Harden and Kawi notably were less turnover prone than PG running the offense. PG's shot selection was always a question and his perimeter shooting was streaky. I felt part of that was playing defense on a tough player reduced his offensive perimeter shooting performance. Westbrook is a casualty to the rule changes in the game. Your weakest perimeter link will mostly be open from the perimeter and the zones, collapsing defenses must be punished with that shot or the dribble penetration will see 3 guys guarding you. I feel bad for westbrook, if only he had a shot they couldn't collapse on him like that. No player has been hurt more by the rule changes than westbrook, its a different game.
Dawg we don’t have Westbrook getting playing time We are GOOD.. sure sucks lost Paul George BUT Westbrick isn’t out there getting minutes if you know ball you know how much that was holding us back
I'm also higher on this team too if the raptors players Barnes Barret Quickly stays healthy they can be a better team they can be more better than the clippers
Expect less than 40 wins. A healthy team could land 10th in the West. Do not believe they have enough to compete with the current West teams. Hypothetically 6-7 teams in the East could beat them in a playoff series.
Couple of things to consider: 1. This core without PG and KAwhi had 42 wins two years ago. 2. Regular season Harden is a thing 3. Finally home in their own arena 4. Better schedule with less b2b and early games
They didnt just lose him, they replaced him with good defenders, promoted an elite scorer in Powell and added good 6th men in Porter and Dunn, all this and keeping their trade options open - expect another trade. Dont forget Bones either, might be a trade piece but also getting a bigger role.
@@kamscott4201Bro , stop coping , they aren't moving anyone 😭 They are -1 scoring option next season and 100% dead if Kawhi is not healthy. And even if healthy , what this team will do against a team like Boston ?

He talks about Clippers a lot. I think it's cos he's a kawhi fan. Most Raptors fans truly like Kawhi
Kevin Porter Jr should be first option off the bench if coach has any sense he’s nice and got summ too prove like JA
Lol starting 5 coming off the bench will be Kris Dunn Norman Powell Amir Coffey Nic Batum Mo Bama
Exactly KPJ is Harden from 2014, he needs the opportunity to play his game.

the problem with PG13 was he doesn't want to yield the whole time, watch him in 76ers and it will happen again ...
Just like players like demar derozon great individuals stats but it doesn't effect the team.
Sour grapes in the house. Go 76ers
Yield the whole time??? That don’t make sense

Agree with this logic but the west got much deeper. They’ll still be outmatched especially if Kawhi doesn’t play 60+ games

Very accurate analyse! Defence wins championships!!!
Clippers will be fine in the regular season but they’ll fade in the playoffs thanks to Kawhi’s physical and Harden’s mental limits
