    Feels like Clippers did this so the Lakers wouldn't get him. Not a fan of moves made because of another team, and not your own team needs. To me, the guy they should have tried to get who got dealt was Dieng. They needed more size and depth at center. And Dieng has developed into a very good three point shooter in his own right.

    Morris still helps. But I feel like Dieng could have been a better addition.
    Still have the buyout market. Wouldn't be shocked if they land Tristain Thompson, Taj Gibson, or Marvin Williams.

    FWIW, Thompson isn't getting bought out.

    The Clippers, Celtics and Heat will be all over the buyout market too. Personally, I'm skeptical any of the players available will make much of a difference besides Collison and Marvin Williams (and even they're not sure bets). NBA buyout season is one of the most overrated aspects of pro sports.

    Agreed, but the Clippers just need a situational big that can play 5-10 mins in certain matchups like against MIL.

    Kawhi's haters are just sniffers who don't want to admit that Pop ruined the Spurs, tbh.

    I agree, but they're the only team in the West that matches up decently against them IMO.

    Milwaukee is our best hope overall, of course.
    The Bucks are going to win the championship this year. They were supposed to win last year until they got Klaw'd. They'll be extra motivated to take it back. Would be cool to see Clippers vs. Bucks in the Finals.

    ^They're not mutually exclusive. It's possible to hate both Pop and Kawhi. Personally, I'd root for the Clippers over the Lakers because I still prefer Kawhi over Lebron.

    Clippers getting their pushed in by a scrub team. Meanwhile the Raptors just won their franchise record 14th straight. Yeah Kawhi is a difference maker.

    The Raptors have Nurse. We have the worst coach in pro sports.

    The Raptors value defense. We make sure to play all our worst defenders together for long stretches of time.

    Nurse is the latest flavor of the month, great white hope media creation (since he buddied up to some of the big wigs, which helped his unethical ass steal Casey's job).

    Every time some team that plays the media game rises to prominence, they crown them and brainwash the gullible masses into thinking they've discovered some secret sauce, when the truth is the majority of this is luck.

    There's no greater example than them. They've fall ass backwards into an athletic, 3 and D wing/guard loaded roster, that has good chemistry and has become greater than the sum of their parts. He's the lucky beneficiary of not having to make difficult (offense/defense, big/small) decisions.

    Nurse’s story is pretty interesting, he’s had championship success at every level iirc. Some luck, some preparation.

    Yeah, the Raptors' success is not luck. They have the next Jerry West in Ujiri, some of the best scouts in the business, and one of the best player development infrastructures in the league. They and the Heat are on another level from the rest of the league in developing talent.

    Giannis is probably signing with the Raptors in a few years if the Bucks can't get him a ring.

    Sounds like you are talking about Pop's current coaching.

    People thought the Spurs had the secret sauce for 20 years . . . how smart do they look now? Then it was team "light years ahead" . . . how smart do they look now?

    Shady Ujiri is on an unprecedented run of luck. He's been trying to re-build since he quit on the Nuggets, but he keeps falling ass backwards into success . . .

    - Trades/salary dumps Gay for 4 spare part role players and they get significantly better
    - Trades Lowry to the Knicks only for Dolan to block it
    - Tries to trade DeRozan for a few years, going so far as to offer him for Wiggins
    - Debates between Poeltl/Sabonis, goes with the former
    - Has Anunoby fall into his lap because he tore his ACL and teams acted like it was an Achilles

    Siakam and Van Vleet were flukes. As if they had any idea they'd become the players they have.

    The S bag "trade" was the equivalent of finding a wallet with a significant amount of money in it. They were only able to pull it off because he intentionally destroyed his value and no one wanted to give up a piece that could hurt them long term. They had no such problem, plus a senile front office here that refused to re-build.

    Now because of that and 5 of the Warriors top 7 players being injured, he's a genius? Give me a break.

    The difference is that the Spurs were riding the coattails of a first overall pick who turned out to be the second-greatest player of all time. The Raptors don't have a Tim Duncan and they're still winning.
