Clippers become a legit contender with the Jeff Green trade

[UpAndComing]

Already thought they had a chance to win the title before the trade, but this trade puts them in the conversation with Spurs, Thunder, Warriors, Cavs for winning it all

Clippers were kinda average on the wing. With M'Bamute, Wesley Johnson, and an aging Paul Pierce

But with this trade, Clippers are looking dangerous when Blake gets back






Jeff Green is so talented. Runs like a gazelle. He played pretty good when he was with Doc on the Celtics

Doc has to move Piru P behind Jeff Green and Wes Johnson on the depth chart which I doubt he'll do. Plus he might force Austin back into big minutes when he gets healthyIf Doc can get out of his own way and cut the bullsh*t we might can do something


-But lets see how we look against GS on Saturday

Over the Warriors?

Yupp. Honestly with Green there, Pierce should only play the 4 spot for only like 2 min tops. Green can be their stretch 4 as well as the 3 spot
Doc did that with Green on the Celtics, hopefully he does it here

 

[Emoryal]

Is he a 3?

 

[UpAndComing]

Is he a 3?

Natural 3, stretch 4

Probably the only reason he brought Josh Smith there, to do the same. But unfortunately, he couldn't stand him

I agree this trade was great...anybody that disagrees is a pin-head doesn't watch basketball

I agree. He just gets too loyal with 'his boys'. That's his biggest problem

He had Josh Smith at center

If I remember correctly Jeff Green's play is very schizophrenic....depends on which Jeff Green shows up in LA.

Yupp. Being a Celtics fan since the early 2000s, watched Doc stick with a 6 man rotation, tiring out the star players, making them too gassed to win games in the final 5 minutes. Like come on man

He just has to contribute and play his role and take some pressure off CP3, Blake, Reddikk, and DJ. If he has a breakout game then beautiful- bring it on but I think he'll have less pressure on him then he had in Memphis where they wanted him to take on a major scoring role in that tough "grit n grind" offense. Things should be easier on him out here in LA.. hopefully this is the case
