'We Got High Aspirations To Smoke Trees Not Plant Them", signed The Unction... Official '25-'26 LA Clippers Season Thread

Basically never recovered from the SGA trade. Had rookie SGA, all of our picks, and open cap space, and threw it all away for two guys who didn't give two sh*ts about the franchise - and I was a PG guy. We still had some nice pieces to keep things afloat in Hartenstein, Diabate, Norm, Mann, KPJ, etc. But ushered them all out the door with no replacements or rather failed older replacements.
Our GM Lawrence Frank is trying to sell the fanbase on 2027 where we'll have open cap space, but everyone knows stars don't hit free agency anymore. It takes a big trade to get a star player in today's NBA. So more pipe dreams, shortcuts, washed former stars, no player development, failed cheat codes, scams, scandals, etc. You name it. What a mess and a total sh*t show. These guys, or should I say Ballmer, just doesn't get it.

Facts.
And I like Ballmer's passion for the franchise, but dude doesn't know ball.
He's had like 11 years to get the team on track and they've made some of the weirdest moves I've ever seen. Historically though, I just feel like the team is cursed. They've had a lot of loaded squads, and can't ever seem to do anything with them.
Team is definitely not cursed. Just awful ownership under Donald Sterling and the worst GM duties of all time under Ballmer. We had Blake, CP3, and DJ. Never added anything significant around them like 3&D wings, but that's not cursed. Had rookie SGA, all of our picks, and open cap space. That's not cursed. Just some of the worst general managing known to man.

That's what I call cursed. HAHA!!
Billy Crystal says he's their biggest fan, and that he believes the team is "cursed". He said they had the worst owner in the history of the league in Sterling, bad GM's, bizarre injuries, etc. But he said even though he can easily switch to another team, he'll never abandon his Clippers. Thing is, Ballmer said when he bought the team, that he was going to "put an end to the Clipper Curse". Hasn't happened yet.
It’s over brehs….lets get some picks 
The Cam Christie Era is upon us! Let's Go!!
Nothing against Beal, but we all knew that wasn't going to work out. One less crutch for Lue to lean on. Kawhi out for god knows how long. Not sure if Harden will eventually want out, but to the chagrin of Lue and L. Frank, the youth era is finally upon usIt’s over brehs….lets get some picks
-Go get Cam Whitmore from D.C. and lets start a new chapter. And yes, I don't give a sh*t if we don't make the playoffs.
They gon persevere through this
Circling the drain now. Season looks done. Maybe can get in the play in if they win one out of every three games with Dallas, N.O, Sac, Memphis, Utah, etc. being just as bad if not worse. Harden is ballin', but its still too much ISO ball from him. Its not sustainable. At least we got a player to work with in Kobe Sanders. He's damn near the lone bright spot this season. If the losing continues and Kawhi doesn't return, I wonder if they'll look into seeing what they can get for Harden and Zu. Oh well

hopefully they can get a little better and give okc like the 18th pick or something. can't be handing them a top 5 pick.
Kawhi not missing no playoffs. Its 68 games left, and late season - tanking teams will be handing out free wins, to position themselves - for a strong upcoming draft class. And you know Frank gon make a move. Buyout season, hoping a scoring wing becomes available
