Not sure if they get worse short-term though, because besides Bradley and Harris our old friend Gallinari is also getting ready to return and they were 7-3 in the last ten. Lou Williams having his career year. They are pretty deep.

Doc just trading away everyone who doesnt like his son. In a year or two watch the entire roster be flipped except Austin. Already halfway there anyway

You don't sent out your best player for picks to aim for the playoffs. Plus, they're also reportedly trading for Lou and DeAndre.spree#8 wrote:Not sure if they get worse short-term though, because besides Bradley and Harris our old friend Gallinari is also getting ready to return and they were 7-3 in the last ten.

They def are tanking this one.

For Clippers, three objectives with the trade were these: Stay competitive on the floor (two starters, Harris and Bradley). Get young players/draft picks and create some payroll flexibility. Organization isn't interested in bottoming out and tanking.

In other words, the same strategy Donnie Walsh "attempted" in order to enter the 2010 Lebron James sweepstakes 10 years ago.
The Clippers are going ALL-IN for Lebron.........LOL

Not sure how you get to that conclusion. We traded more draft picks away to get multiple max salary slots, while the Clips simply traded a max contract guy for two starters and a first-round pick. So I don't really get any LeBron vibes here.

spree, I can find 50 articles referencing the Clippers unchanged determination to trade both Deandre and Lou. When you're shopping your best 3 players, youre tanking. No other way around it. They can do all the lip service they want.
It's true they got nice value back from Blake but Tobias/Avery ain't at the same level. They may end up keeping both Deandre and Lou and stick to the mediocre no man's land but that'd be most likely due to lack of offers not on purpose

If the Clippers were tanking for Lebron, wouldn't they want to keep Jordan and Lou Williams? What's the use of loosing all of your talent to get Lebron, then he has no one to play with? Think Knicks/Melo here
Lebron is not going to a "building" team. They have to either have the pieces in place, convince him they can get the pieces along with him or let him bring his own pieces as with Bosh.

Clippers are just messing around with the Lakers master plan. Lebron/Lou/DeAndre is not beating GSW (esp considering the rest of the roster)

The Clips looked pretty good last night.If Gallinari can stay healthy they have a decent squad..
