Try to sucker somebody into taking him for a pick and/or cap filler/depth? I feel bad for Milwaukee in that respect, he didn't have injury problems before he hit the pros.

He's basically DeJuan Blair now.

If healthy he can probably coexist with Thon and Giannis, though I think putting them at the 4/5 defensively works better and one or both of Jabari and Giannis need a more reliable 3 ball. After these injuries, Jabari may no longer have the speed to defend the 3 (he was never great at it but he's young and the physical ability was there). It's a tough situation, and the timer is running down on his rookie deal.

They'd be really thin at PF unless you like Henson and Hawes a bunch if Jabari got traded, is the issue. Milwaukee has some decisions to make in the offseason unless somebody makes them a ludicrous offer.

Their two biggest names are headed for player-option final seasons and their sixth man is an unrestricted free agent.

It doesn't make sense to blow up the team because the Warriors aren't tired of winning yet and probably won't be for a year or two after a potential Clippers full rebuild, but they almost can't not.

Clippers should roll it all forward and hope for a Warriors injury/implosion/exhaustion and get a Mavs style title because they have spent most of their assets for the next three years already so it's not like they're going to rebuild or reload very easily anyway.

I agree with this. They should also try to sign another small forward.

I think the intrigue with the Clippers isn't whether the team decides to blow it up (they can't really afford to, as has been mentioned), but if the players who can leave think this roster has run its course and decide to go elsewhere

Clippers should have traded Blake after the Houston collapse

Now they dont really have any option other than to pray everyone comes back.

Whats New Orleans cap situation? Could they clear up enough room to make a run at Chris Paul? I'm not convinced it would be a perfect situation but probably long term a lot better than staying with the Clippers

No, they can't. Unless he wants to take a pay cut.

Clippers are cool and they should get weird and trade for Melo if they can.

I am sad I don't get to watch more playoffs-chris-paul, and you all should be too. On the other hand, I checked the books and the Clippers have never won a game against the Warriors so maybe this was for the best.

I thought Davis played PF more than C but that's the only thing that seems off at all to me and ultimately it's not even that bad.

Gobert should be above AD. Not sure if KAT should make it unless they really wanted another center then he's fine. Otherwise pretty good.

No, Davis played well over 50% of his minutes this season at center. Bbref has it at 64/36 split between the two.

It's done by position (C/F/G). Last year Draymond has more total votes last year than DeAndre but DeAndre was 1st Team. Plus Andre Drummond on the 3rd Team.

Each team needs to have a center. Unless you think Draymond is listed at center, which is a stretch.

Next year is really, really important for his legacy. If the Pelicans collapse then he probably will permanently be a big fat loser.

That being said I think the Pelicans will probably be pretty good. They can probably snag a few shooting wings and cruise to like 47 wins easy.
