Will clippers blow up team

[Clipper Nation]

Blake has to find a way to be able to play 45 minutes a game in the playoffs. It's what is expected from a franchise player in his prime.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the luxury of taking two weeks off like LeBron or being rested throughout the season like Duncan/Manu/Kawhi or sitting on the bench in fourth quarters of countless regular-season blowout wins like Curry. He was playing 35 minutes per game in the meaningless games while Curry was playing 32 minutes per game and Kawhi was playing 31, all because we don't have a bench. Granted, Blake needs to learn how to pace himself too, but he also has to drag a team to wins by himself. Get rid of all the scrubs and choke artists on this team, build a real supporting cast, and the rest will figure itself out.

They don't have a lot room to maneuver
89 million plus whatever they have match on Jordan at least 10 million
Will be right at the projected tax.

New salary cap projections sent out to NBA teams: 2015-16: 67.1 million, tax 81.6,

They will have around $78 million committed to 6 players not including Crawford and Barnes (team options) that would push it to $88 million for 8 players. They have the mid-level (tax payers) of $3.6 million. They blew the Bi-Annual exception on Farmer.

They need:
Backup 1
Starting 3
Backup 5

and probably a backup 2 (Crawford is the definition of hit or miss)

Davis and Rivers are both FAs and both may have played decently enough for a pay raise.

Even if Jordan walks, they would have to renounce everyone else and that would only give them $5.5 million after cap holds.

They really only have $3.5 million to work with to fix all of their issues.

They have the worst GM in the West, it doesn't matter what moves they make, they won't amount to anything..

Eric Bledsoe

for

J.J Red + Jared Dudley

Dudley plays one year ( with a serious leg injury)

Dudley + 1st round pick

to

Milwaukee for un-guaranteed contracts


needs a starting caliber 3 but doesn't have an expiring contract or draft pick to get Wilson Chandler or Jeff Green because of that deal with the Bucks.


also spending $15 million on Hawes...

He's one of the three worst GMs in the NBA.

Jordon wants the max lol
