Keep it somewhat realistic.. basically no Kawhi stuff because it isn’t happening. I have a scenario I wouldn’t mind seeing; Trade Moe Harkless, Al-Farouq Aminu, Caleb Swanigan, and the draft rights to Gary Trent Jr. to the Clippers for Tobias Harris. Split the TPE on JJ Barea and Jonathon Simmons. Sign Michael Beasley. Re-sign Ed Davis. Dame / Barea / WB4 CJ / Simmons / Simons Harris / ET / Layman Collins / Beasley Nurk / Davis / PapaG / Nards Still not a contender but a better constructed team.
Just for the record, the splits for Harris show he is below average at small forward (really bad) but an above average power forward.
Realistic... Sign ED Trade for Bev Use TPE on WC Dame/Bev CJ/WB4/Simons Chandler/ET/GTJ Chief/Collins Nurk/ED 5/6th place in the West
Yeah, but I’m curious who was PF when he was SF, I could see Griffin not being an ideal forward mate.
He never played on the same team as Griffin. They were traded for each other. The problem isn't his teammates, it's that he's a bad defender and isn't quick enough to guard SF's and conversely he doesn't have a quickness advantage when being guarded by most SF's either.
Last season's Clippers cast offs don't really move the needle for me...Good Mo is better than Harris...Beverly would take Baldwin's minutes ...Lou Williams is the only Clipper I like much
Yeah when Moe is dialed in from deep he is pretty good. But I have seen Harris have great games too though. Neither is very consistent.
He was playing really well until getting injured before the playoffs but he's been an early season no show for 2 years now...exit interview they told him he needs to show up in game one..
I think he would benefit from having a veteran wing to keep him motivated. ET isn’t that guy, a guy like Wes would’ve been great.
I think that's overpay for Harris for sure, but I don't hate him. Just don't expect him to be very good at the 3 spot. As a backup to Zach Collins at the 4? He's a rich man's Beasley. I like Jonathan Simmons a lot. Still young, great size, can handle the ball and can shoot. He's at a pretty good bargain but who knows what Orlando wants to do with him. I'd love to have him as the starting SF. I don't like Beasley but he can score. I'll give him that. He's also quite the knucklehead. Definitely re-sign Ed and Nurk. I wouldn't mind taking a look at Hezonja with the tax MLE as well.
Aren't you guys afraid of Tobias Harris being a rental? His contact is up next year and nobody wants to come to Portland.
until they get here...then they don't want to leave...except for a certain marshmellow who seems to want to come back after leaving
