Bring back Del Negro.
What can you do? There's no good reason for their failures.

While Barnes had a good series, he's getting old and they need an upgrade at the wings... Granger is who we thought he was... they also are lacking a good SG/backup PG...
I think their bigs rotation is ok...

They need good starting wings. Barnes and Reddick have no bussiness being starters on a wannabe contender.

Pierce will turn into the next Outlaw/Gomes/Butler/Dudley/insert useless Clippers SF of the past decade here as soon as he arrives, tbh....

They really do need to trade Paul. Maybe they can get Jannero Pargo.

- White coach
- backup centers to keep their starters out of foul trouble
- more billy crystals and less bandwagonners
- a defensive SF
Or get Kevin Durant

They need to go after Ariza at SF and draft a PF/C with their 1st.
Paul/Collison
Redick/Crawford
Ariza/Dudley
Griffin/Barnes or Davis
Jordan/1st
Might have to trade Dudley to clear CAP for Ariza.
Along with a future 1st, Phoenix will take him back!

They don't get consistent offensive production from the wings and from their 5. DeAndre Jordan was useless in this series and he's pretty much counted on to be a no-show most of the times. CP3 is ok but perhaps he isn't as elite as many in the L.A. media make him out to be. But that shouldn't mean you can't put the pieces around him to help him out. As much as it is exciting to see Jordan Crawford chuck 80 ft rainbows in transition, he is a statute of inconsistency and mediocrity. You either feast or you famine with him and that doesn't help the bench. Reddick and Collison are good bench players and I'm not sure why Blake isn't dominating as much as he should be. I think he is limited in his offensive game or maybe he takes sooo much punishment that he wears down. The whole Sterling incident took a mental toll as well. I think if they had won game 5, they would be headed to San Antonio. The basketball IQ of this team is questionable. It isn't a smart team and that may mean they need to part ways with Barnes, Jordan, Davis and the like.

SG/SF position with good defense.
I think Collison is good enough for a backup PG.
Practice FTs.

they should just blow that shit up
CP3 and Blake are good players, but not great and not good enough to win a ring as a big 2
their 3rd best player is miles away from CP3 or Blake and its not like they play great D to make up for it. on the contrary...they did move the ball fairly well though, compared to last years embarassing performance against memphis

A younger, more versatile SF is really one of the only pieces they need, among a few other pickups at the reserve positions. They were very good this year and I like the Paul/Griffin combination for them going forward the next 4-5 years.
Ariza would be an excellent pickup at the position but they need to get a younger player to fill that void.
Chris Paul gets a lot of flak, but honestly, he's a superstar in a league that is run by them. Not like you can get many stars at that position like they grow on trees. Paul has made mistakes this postseason but to pin the blame on him single-handedly is foolish, the Clips would be much worse without Paul.
And Blake Griffin is a beast, he just keeps getting better.
Clips have a good future I think, certainly more bright than the Lakers in that area.

That is LOL worthy. Just about as LOL worthy as paying 107 million to a conference final virgin and Tom Rivers planning fake championship parades.

This is coming from the franchise that paid $86 million for the second-round virgin and $93 million for a center who barely played :lol

Captain Obvious with the in-depth analysis here--but then, they may not have that bright of a future with Sterling promising a prolonged court battle for control as well as Shirley Sterling wanting in on the action. That could be the wild card in all of this...

They need to take the ball out of Paul's hands. It's just too easy to stop a team who's PG dominates the ball so much. I know Paul had some big games, but OKC could lock him down on any given possession when they felt the urgency to. I'm not saying, "Chris needs help!" either. I am saying the Clips need to get a ball-handler so that they can have a more free-flowing offensive system that doesn't allow Paul to hog the ball. He's just not good enough. Iggy would have been great for them.
It also doesn't help they none of their wings are better than Danny Green, let alone Leonard or Manu. They probably should have tried to get Afflalo over Dudley and kept Butler over getting Redick. They need to prioritize getting a bona-fide defender like Tony Allen in the off-season as well. Getting more slashers and fewer shooters would help diversify their offense.

Moving to Seattle would be an improvement.
