not saying they should blow it up but they can turn these guys into assets. This is not the Sterling Clippers anymore, they have a good owner, and have changed the identity. They can some very good assets and rebuild. CP3 is not getting any younger, and who knows how Blake will be after these injuries. You can have 3-4 more seasons of good regular seasons and then team will be left with no assets and have to rebuild anyways
You could easily be heading in the same direction though. Players in their peak are now "right around the corner"? Seems like a lot of to give up so you can more than likely get back in the same place 10 years later after a lot of hardships especially on the words of fans who put more stock in the potential of young players rather than FA.
Why? Other than CP who dudes keep going off their opinions of age no one is old that we're not willing to give up and replace. A long slow rebuild i stupid compared to getting younger players and slowly phasing your older players out like the spurs.
I'm not an optimist so seeing young players doesn't get my hype for more than likely nothing. Starting from scratch is stupid. We've been to the WCSF and beaten by a team that wasn't as good as us, we've lost in the first round due to injuries, we've lost a hard series to rivals who have since fallen off, and we've lost to a young team with some bad luck thrown in there. If we weren't the arguable second best team in the West I would agree, but the only thing I believe between us and a title is the golden state warriors who we haven't even had a chance to play. So you can keep throwing around the word peak, but I don't see you saying any other team should be blown up because of no championship and a star who hasn't begun to regress yet because he's in his early 30's is one of the best players on the team.
This.. LA will always be a Laker town, and don't get it twisted there are tons of Clipper fans out here but it kills me knowing we could've carved out a serious niche for ourselves over the past four years or so only to fall off when it counts the most
True but more than likely he was going to get hurt again anyways.. It is what it is breh
Maybe a small change in direction but not a complete rebuild-overhaul. Should've had a couple of youngsters on their third year or so coming up in the system coming behind Blake, DJ, and CP3 but Doc can't draft nor develop players for sh*t
Not really glass half full I'm looking at the facts. And I don't think we'll make noise I just want one fair chance to do so or fail before I become the worst poster on this forumYou say you're not an optimist but you're definitely more optimistic about the Clippers chances at making noise in the playoffs than me and a lot of people are, and you're definitely looking at all their playoff exits over the last 5 years with the view of glass half-full.
As far as me talking about teams being blown up, I feel the same way about the Hawks & Grizzlies
He doesn't even try. In a better timeline Jamal would have been gone and CJ wilcox would've been getting his minutes. I swear without Doc we would ATLEAST be marginally better, but I think we'd be significantly better. He sucks as GM and coach. He gets new players and then doesn't even play them or try to integrate them into the system or play them in their right position and then their gone. We've had good bench players here and there too we just haven't been able to keep them.
