1 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,519 Welcome in everyone. It's Clips and Dip episode one fifty one. I'm Adam 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,039 Oslin. We got Will Updike, Chuck Mockler and a special guest and Kelly 3 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,120 Johnson joining us from Fox eleven and Good Day La coming up here on the 4 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,600 show. We're gonna talk about what dropped earlier. I think it was Chris 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,120 Haynes who had it, and then Sham Sharania kind of corrected it. But 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,439 CP three could becoming available and we'll talk about the Clippers one. And we 7 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:40,960 did a poll at Clippers podcast right now at Clippers Pod. At Clippers Podcast 8 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:45,960 is where you can hear not getting us and watch us on YouTube. We 9 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,640 appreciate you guys for hopping in here. Kelly, how are you? Thanks 10 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,520 for doing this today. I'm good. How are you? And thank you 11 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,240 so much for having me. I'm so excited. We're good. So we 12 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,359 were reading your bio or I was earlier a little bit doing a little bit 13 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:04,920 of background research. Oh boy, Arizona State. There's no conflict right when 14 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,519 the Clippers are taken on the Suns in the playoffs or anything like that, 15 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:15,599 because yes, you know, I was thinking I figured this might come up, 16 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,359 and the interesting thing about Peeniggs is that a lot of people from Arizona, 17 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,040 like who live in Arizona, they're actually from somewhere else. If you 18 00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,239 go to like a Diamondbacks game when they play the Dodgers, it feels like 19 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,799 a Dodgers home game. And growing up a lot of the people I went 20 00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:33,920 to school with, they were Laker fans. So even though you're from Arizona 21 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,079 doesn't necessarily mean it's like the protocol to follow Arizona sports team. So I 22 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,760 mean, yes, I went to Asue on my Proud Sun Devil. My 23 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,159 dream school was USC so I've always had this desire to live in California. 24 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,480 R I p Pat Tillman one of my favorites ever, Oh for sure, 25 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,319 Yes, much respect. All Right, Adam got the first nickname change. 26 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:59,640 If you're watching on YouTube, because I read the background on Kelly Johnson our 27 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040 guests, Yes you did a damn professional all right. Adam doesn't read the 28 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,319 breakdowns for the show, but he will look into your background if you are 29 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:10,800 a guest, so that I love it. That's good research. And Kelly, 30 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960 you put out a great video for Clips fans this year. You had 31 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,520 people for those of you didn't see it Clippers fans center in pictures. There's 32 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,759 a great Russ quote kind of over the whole thing is a montage. You 33 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,759 also put out an article that the Clippers are the eighth smartest fans in the 34 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400 league. I would like to take a quick poll of the those who host 35 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,319 this podcast, Adam, do you believe the clip? Do you believe Clippers 36 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,599 fans are the eight smartest fans in the league. No, they're number one, 37 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,960 just like the Sacramento Kings fans were voted that back when I was up 38 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,960 in Norcow growing up. Because when you are a long suffering fan base, 39 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:49,560 you have to know about everything because sometimes your team may not have that many 40 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,680 star players. We're lucky to Steve Baumber bought the franchise and they have the 41 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,840 two one three connection now, But there were many suffering years for Clippers fans 42 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,960 where they kind of had to go to games and watch the opposition and see 43 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,120 how the stars were going to perform on the other side because they didn't have 44 00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,960 the big name players. So it makes you a little bit more educated of 45 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:13,479 a fan. That's where I'm okay, will Clippers fans top ten smartists in 46 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,599 the league? I will say this like how many other how many other like 47 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,879 the majority of their fan base, how many other franchises? Could you say, 48 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,120 can name a prominent athletic trainer that's been with the organization for over a 49 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:30,039 decade, So that's got to count for something. But I agree with Adam, 50 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,919 like I think that there are a lot of well informed Clippers fans. 51 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,680 I do think a lot of it has come out of a weird necessity we're 52 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:38,599 in, Like it's like, we got to get to the bottom of this, 53 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,319 Like what the hell can we do? Where do we go? Yeah? 54 00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:45,240 How can we get out of this? So I do think I do 55 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840 think that there are some educated Clippers folks out there, But unfortunately it hasn't 56 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,520 always been like for fun. It's I think it's been out of pain. 57 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,840 I was gonna say many Clipper fans are like honorary like physical therapists, like 58 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,439 knowing so much about injuries. It's like, oh, yeah, I know 59 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,680 what it is. We can probably walk into a doctor's dogs know all about 60 00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:08,960 knees and certain ligaments. Yeah, that was just from the Sean Livingston injury. 61 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:14,000 Actually, so many went unfortunately. Yeah, there's waves of injury, 62 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,399 just clips of injuries going over my brain right now, you got us number 63 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,519 one, right, I think i'd probably go one. I liked your logic 64 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,920 of like teams who aren't good like their fans having to really I'll go one. 65 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,319 I'll go one, and then I go Sacramento Kings two. I'm not 66 00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:35,839 gonna I can't go one just because I feel like Clippers fans, we get 67 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:40,680 to disregard the entirety of the draft because we're just not good at it. 68 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,600 So I feel like, you know, you know, like there's so many 69 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,959 other fan bases, like if you're a Pistons fan or a Rockets fan, 70 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,000 like you know so much more about the draft. This is not true. 71 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,959 The Clippers have to know about second round picks because they've been there consistently, 72 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000 all right, it's so unpredictable though it doesn't count. Sometimes the Clippers don't 73 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,839 even know how tall the guy they're drafting is out Daniel true and law Marie 74 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,800 for putting that in print, so we know that it's actually true, Kelly. 75 00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:08,639 On the list it said number one was Toronto, right, the rap 76 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,639 number one Nadiens. Yeah, they're smarter than us, that's the criteria. 77 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,800 Our education system is that a slight. This is going to turn into like 78 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:23,800 crossfire with Adam and guests for right right and Phoenix was like number four, 79 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,560 which is interesting because Arizona is usually like in the bottom of like education down 80 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,439 there with Mississippi, so that, but I think it's the a issue effect 81 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,839 or something, you know what I mean. It's like the colleagues. But 82 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:36,680 I mean in four God not that smart. He was physical, he could 83 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,759 throw hands, but come on, he did market that. He somehow was 84 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120 like signing basketballs and selling them on his Instagram as like sons and four guy, 85 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,519 which you know, I got a DM about that guy. Somebody I 86 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,199 know allegedly went to kindergarten with him and he was a bully in kindergarten, 87 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,360 and I do not I do not think we need to praise bully culture. 88 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,839 So it thinks like this guy has not learned his lesson. And that's another 89 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,639 reason I am not a sens fan. I'm like, we cannot praise this 90 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,160 guy and we're still coming about him. Yeah, yeah, how a d 91 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,120 M about it. It was weird how the team like embraced it, like 92 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,519 they're like Devin Booker was like, I want to give you some tickets, 93 00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:17,120 and it's like Okay, man, I don't, and then there's a bunch 94 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,160 of fights at their stadium. So we talked. We haven't talked about the 95 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,839 last season as a whole quite a bit, but we've had some people from 96 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120 the media on here. We've talked about it kind of off air before. 97 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:31,639 A lot of people mentioned, and you covered the team and are a fan 98 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,800 of the team, that this was one of, if not the hardest years 99 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:43,720 to kind of be a Clippers fan for various reasons. Why do you think 100 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,720 last year was so difficult? Hey? Do you think last year was so 101 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:50,920 difficult? And why do we think it was so difficult, particularly last season 102 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,240 with the clips. So I think I'm one of the rare positive fans, 103 00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,720 but not overly positive, if that makes sense. So I having a different 104 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,240 person, It's like, I'm not like we're you know, you hope that 105 00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:08,560 you know we're going to the finals, but when you see, especially after 106 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,839 the All Star break, Hey, we're not really beating teams with records over 107 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,319 five hundred, and you know we're celebrating when we beat you know, Houston, 108 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,839 that's not necessarily a good sign. So I think, you know, 109 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,480 it's like one thing that I always go back to and from what you know 110 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,040 I've seen on Twitter is that like lou Will, Pat Bev Treas that like 111 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,839 culture, we don't necessarily have that anymore. That's kind of missing, and 112 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040 I think, you know, the chemistry was off. It was the lack 113 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:42,560 of effort, being so close to winning games and having those meltdowns in the 114 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,439 fourth quarter give no Quarter. I don't think anyone ever wants to or that. 115 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:48,279 Again, there's no way they tested that. There's no way they did 116 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:53,879 any like focus groups or anything with give no Quarter. Yeah, absolutely not. 117 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480 And I think it was just frustrating knowing how much potential we have is 118 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,959 you know, the comeback clips that we got to see last season was so 119 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,720 it's you know, we had Luke Kennard and we had you know, Reggie 120 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,519 Jackson and those guys. You know, once they left, we didn't just 121 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,720 we didn't have that anymore. Just felt like the players didn't want to be 122 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:15,600 there. The fans. You know, we went into the season and we 123 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,759 were projected to go to the finals. Yeah that was the thing, and 124 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,399 I was like, maybe that's a curse. There were too many eyes on 125 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,959 us, and it's just you know, frustrating. I went to Seattle for 126 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,480 that preseason game. We looked so good and just saying things, just not 127 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,960 connecting players just I don't want to say it didn't seem like they didn't, 128 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,000 you know, want to be there. But it was just something different in 129 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,879 the air, and that did change when Russell Westbrook came, a completely different 130 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,840 atmosphere in the arena. But I think it's just being disappointed. It's like 131 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,159 having you know, pardon me, I've been watching my niece and nephews, 132 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,840 so you know, it's just like having a room full of AP students who 133 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,559 are failing tests. It's like, what's going on you guys? You know 134 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,799 what I mean? All this potential and we're not rising to the occasion. 135 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,279 So you're telling me you don't think something was born out of those wins, 136 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,559 Like Adam was talking about after every single win on the right, that's called 137 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:15,480 culture or something more. I love that metaphor of a bunch of AP kids 138 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,039 like failing the test, like they're all really smart kids just for some reason 139 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,440 can't really get it, and the optimism, like it did make sense going 140 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,840 into the season to have open right, we were the on paper favorites. 141 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,559 Everything was set up. We were going to get wingsop all this stuff, 142 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,960 Adam, what do you think kind of made it so difficult? I think 143 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,279 a little bit. It was kind of more of the same. It felt 144 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:43,440 like almost a breaking point for everyone's limit to how much apathy towards the regular 145 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,720 season, how much unexpected kind of medical absences they were willing to deal with, 146 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,080 and stuff like that. It felt like it was kind of just like 147 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,320 it was just all too much after the year, like you said, the 148 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,960 year before, regging and all that stuff. Yeah, And I think a 149 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,000 lot of people felt like there would be carryover from the twenty twenty one playoff 150 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,159 run into this season. They were missing Kawhi all of last year and that 151 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,159 was just going to continue with bringing him back in. But then he goes 152 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,879 out with a knee injury, and there was something that kind of flew unto 153 00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:18,120 the radar. Early early on the year, the media was asking Paul George 154 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,919 in the locker room about the twenty twenty one Clippers and that playoff run, 155 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,879 and he said, it's a new year, we have to start something new. 156 00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,200 And I don't think he's wrong for saying that. I don't think you 157 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,919 could just show up with the same team and expect the same results and pick 158 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,519 up where you left off and win the championship, this time with Kawhi Leonard. 159 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,399 There's new players on the team, there's new philosophies. Things are going 160 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,200 to change, And unfortunately, I think a lot of the expectations were set 161 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000 at such a high level. And I think that's a good thing, don't 162 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,879 get me wrong, but it leaves you prone to disappointment. It leaves you 163 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:58,000 a little bit open to disappointment because when it's championship or bust, and as 164 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,360 you mentioned, the same thing start to humulate with injuries going on them not 165 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,080 having that continuity on the court. It just felt like, yes, more 166 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,279 of the same from this Clippers team when we thought, Okay, this is 167 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,799 the year. This is definitely going to be our year. But I was 168 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,600 wondering, Kelly, I don't know if we got this from you, what 169 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:18,320 was the first Clippers team to disappoint you? What was the first team that 170 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,120 you wrote that was a great question. What was the impetus of you being 171 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,120 a Clippers fan? You know, that's a really good question, and I'm 172 00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,600 pretty new I'll be you know perfectly honest. I came in the two and 173 00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:35,440 three year when I moved to LA. That's when Kawai and Paul George joined 174 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,159 as well, so we all came together so I can deal. Yeah, 175 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:41,320 people say it was a trade just for Kawai. I don't know that. 176 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:45,240 We got Kelly and PG in that whole deal. Yeah exactly. Yeah, 177 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,919 we're all paggage deal. And I grew up always an NBA fan, and 178 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,080 I'm not going to well, I have kind of switched teams. I mean, 179 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,759 my favorite team growing up was that early two thousand Pistons and who the 180 00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,799 team was in like twenty nineteen. They reminded me so much of them that 181 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,840 just that like that fight, that grit. I was like, oh, 182 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,039 I like them, and like, I love Kawhi Leonard. I love how 183 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,480 he shook things up in Toronto, hoping to see him do that again in 184 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,200 LA. And that's you know, one of those things do you like you 185 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,120 see spurts of it, right, but you don't see it consistently, and 186 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:18,440 that's part of the disappointment. But Kwhi Leonard's probably my all time favorite player, 187 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:22,080 so that's how I became a fan. So he recruited me. I'm 188 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,759 one of the new guys. We need all the positivity we can get. 189 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:28,759 We need all the rational positivity we can get, so we'll definitely take it. 190 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360 But I'm not switching teams again. Don't worry, I've got in the 191 00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:35,639 past. I will admit that this this is here to stay a Clipper nation. 192 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,279 Just really good fan base, really sweeten. Kind of going back to 193 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,039 what you're talking about earlier, like, oh, you know, being the 194 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,759 eighth smartest fans in the NBA. I think I remember before the groundbreaking at 195 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,679 the you know, into a dome and you know, just zooming with different 196 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,360 fans, everybody was on time. Everyone just had so much knowledge about the 197 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,000 game and had a passion for this team. And I think that's so admirable. 198 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,440 Yes, it's admirable, especially for when you talk to me, who've 199 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,039 been the fan of the team since you know, the LA sports are in 200 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,559 the days, You're like you really you really stuck around? Yeah, Will, 201 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,759 what made this well? First of all, Will, did you have 202 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:16,159 a difficult year watching this team? Absolutely? So, it wasn't difficult. 203 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,759 I mean, like, there's a few things I think overall, like the 204 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,480 apathy of the approach to the regular season was was one of those things that 205 00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:33,120 I think i'd kind of I'd put behind me in previous years with both Kawai 206 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:37,480 and Paul George healthy, Um, I think this year it was just especially 207 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,480 more present because the team didn't even look all that good when both of them 208 00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:46,159 were playing together. Um, you know, there were there were submitted like 209 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,000 there were some limited stretches where I was like, Okay, I could see 210 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:52,080 what this could become. But I mean we talked about this all throughout the 211 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:58,480 season. You know, they struggled to put together you know, multiple convincing 212 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,559 wins even in a sequence, you know what I mean, Like there was 213 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,679 never a stretch of games where you were like, okay, like I'm seeing 214 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,840 this Clippers team really start to hit its stride. And it's it's so funny 215 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,879 because, like we talk about, I feel like everything always comes back to 216 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,279 that eighteen nineteen season, like the year before Kawai and Paul George came here, 217 00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:20,159 and like we thought that we had like such a clear idea of what 218 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,320 this team was, like the you know, the impetus of it, and 219 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,440 we were adding these two players that seemed to really kind of fit that mold. 220 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,279 And I think we've learned anything in this era. It's just that they 221 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,480 not even just Kawai and PG. It seems like the team as a whole 222 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,519 is really unsure of their direction. And I think that that was just like 223 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,360 blatantly obvious this year. How many times did we talk about, you know, 224 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,799 like what is the Clippers culture? Is their Clippers culture? Like is 225 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:48,679 you know, did they figure something out from this? I mean I joked 226 00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,159 about ad I'm talking about something being born, But like every single time we 227 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,279 were hoping like, Okay, has this team finally figured it out? Like 228 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,120 do they know who they are? Now? Do they know what they are? 229 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,480 That? Like? Do they know how they want to play? And 230 00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,960 I think that like bled over into some things where I think a big thing 231 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:07,360 that was, you know, helping us to see this clever team as contenders 232 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,200 was was this depth right Like we saw this and it was like, Okay, 233 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,039 even you know, let's say we only get forty games out of Kawai 234 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,279 and Paul George, you know, we have all this depth that you would 235 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,799 think would be able to kind of lead you through the regular season. But 236 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,360 I think which just the lack of direction for where this team is headed that 237 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,399 wasn't even utilized correctly. And I think that that showed a lot of redundancy 238 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,440 in those positions, and I think that got really difficult to see. Two 239 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,519 is like these players that I was excited about kind of either being misused or 240 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,279 you know, in some cases like Robert Covington, not really used at all, 241 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,240 And that was just really frustrating. It's really frustrating to watch a team 242 00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:48,080 still like chasing its tail in year four. I just don't know how after 243 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,200 that many seasons you can't at least figure out what is the brand of basketball 244 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,240 it is that you play. You know, I understand Kawai and Paul George 245 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,159 not being here, and that obviously does affect that it does make roles he 246 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480 fluid, but it just feels like there's not an overall direction and I think 247 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,200 that was just on full display this year. Kelly. You kind of raised 248 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,600 an eyebrow there when you brought up Robert Covington. Was that one of these 249 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:15,919 sore spots for you this season? Not seeing him on the listen, Yes, 250 00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:22,399 and when you see him doing the T shirt contest and action he's get 251 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,720 eat. It is so frustrating. And you know, I found that, 252 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:27,759 you know, when he scored like forty one points last season. I mean, 253 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:30,519 it's just I want to know what you know, what's going on. 254 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,399 Obviously there's something that we don't know. I wish I could get to the 255 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:36,840 bottom of it. And you know, I just feel like, if we're 256 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,360 not going to utilize him, go ahead and trade him. But it's like, 257 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,279 you know, when we talk about what direction was this team going in, 258 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,480 and I heard you guys talk about this in a previous podcast, it 259 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:48,799 seems like there was no voice in the locker room. We know that tylu 260 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,679 he had a lot of personal stuff going on, but he still had to 261 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,480 show up to work because he felt like he had to be there. And 262 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,519 it's you know, it's like, you we have to accept the fact that 263 00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:03,279 Paul George Quilin those they're they're introverts. These are not going to be vocal 264 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,079 leaders in the locker room. So it seems like that was very much missing. 265 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,440 And just talking about misusing players. I mean Terrence Man, like, 266 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,440 what is his role on this team? You know, we're still trying to 267 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,599 figure that out. Love him, would like to see more of him, 268 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,000 but it's you know, it's someone who is underutilized this past season. Do 269 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,440 we think that Paul George would be a more vocal leader if we set up 270 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,480 a fake podcast studio and he could address all the all the team as if 271 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,920 he were on a podcast. Maybe maybe they need to mate set up a 272 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,079 studio before the game because it's like all this personality and he's got jokes and 273 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,079 it's very interesting. But maybe it's that more relaxed environment. I can relate 274 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,519 to that as an instant introvert. But yeah, podcast pe shout out to 275 00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:49,640 him, But well they're I mean, to be fair, there are extroverts 276 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,400 that that aren't necessarily like leaders. You know. Yeah, I do think 277 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,799 that leading a team is such a specific thing, right, and you know, 278 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,400 I do really at the end of the day, I really feel like 279 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:07,599 there's only a few players that can really command an entire locker room, and 280 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:10,240 sometimes it's not always the guys you would expect. I mean, you would 281 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,599 you would love for it to be your lead player or your star player, 282 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,440 because it's kind of hard for one of those guys to pull rank. But 283 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:18,960 another thing that was kind of disappointing in this, like you know, this 284 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:25,400 Clipper season is I feel like we've had that leader in the locker room before 285 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,720 at times, and then I don't know what happens with that role, like 286 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,759 like Nick Batoum this year. I don't know if it was because of you 287 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:34,079 know, he was battling hell stuff and his minutes were kind of up and 288 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,519 down. They were clearly trying to save him. It seemed like for the 289 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:41,599 for the playoffs or something. But it feels like guys don't really feel empowered 290 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,119 in that locker room and if you're not going to get it from your stars, 291 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,920 you gotta find it somewhere else. And ultimately, you know, I 292 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,680 think that that was the biggest benefit of the rust of the entire rustling, 293 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,920 which I was super critical of, but I mean, like that was what 294 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,000 they needed. Yeah, Russ brought a lot, which I think speaks to 295 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,920 how this team felt about themselves. They talked about how Russ brought this belief 296 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,400 and stuff like that, and it was like, so it wasn't here pre 297 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,759 Russ, like you guys didn't fully it wasn't. No, I know, 298 00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,319 but that's what makes it so tough. Adam, you look like you have 299 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000 some rebuttals you maybe want to say about this team spirit. No. I 300 00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:22,119 think also the sleuth might need to figure out what's going on with Rocco. 301 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:29,200 You gotta earn the nickname. Get to the bottom of it. That that 302 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,960 secret hallway between locker rooms. I'm just posted up there the rest of the 303 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,599 summer. It was so weird, wasn't it. Roco played and then he 304 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,319 went into health and safety, and then he just he did a interview where 305 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:45,319 he was like, I'm looking forward to playing more. He just did he 306 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,960 even get time on Hbcunite. Did they give him like six minutes or something. 307 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,680 He's the only player who went to an HBCU and I think they like 308 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:57,839 gave him like a pity seven minutes or something. Yeah on HBC unit which 309 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:04,759 is like, dude, yeah, that kind of underscores and just epitomizes the 310 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:10,440 entire season. Roco's minutes, Terrence Man's minutes. That says it all. 311 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,079 And it goes back to those expectations we thought, okay Man's gonna take that 312 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,359 next step. He's gonna play more minutes Rocco, after the way he performed 313 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,039 when they brought him in last season, the forty one point performance that Kelly 314 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:25,400 brought up, He's going to be even more involved. We're going to throw 315 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:32,680 out wingstop all the time. He's getting eleven threes every game and none of 316 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,160 it came to fruition, and it's just shocking and bizarre that so many things 317 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,240 that we anticipated happening going into this season and we couldn't check off many of 318 00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:47,759 them at all by the end of it. Now very very weird season. 319 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,680 We're gonna take a break, and then we're gonna talk about all of the 320 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:57,680 weird stuff that apparently might happen in between last year's weird season and what might 321 00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:02,960 turn out to be a very weird next season. We have ads coming up. 322 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,599 If they've been too loud for which they have for some people, go 323 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,039 ahead and turn it down. We got ads coming up. Then we're talking 324 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,920 Chris Paul me to come after the Clippers, and just a whole bunch of 325 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,160 the randomness ads coming up in three two one, all right, we are 326 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,680 back, Episode one fifty one of Clips and Dip Joint by Kelly Johnson. 327 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:27,079 A bunch of weird stuff happened today involving Chris Paul. For those who listening, 328 00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,400 if you didn't know, Chris Paul used to play for the Clippers, 329 00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:33,279 very important part of this team's run. At some point some people are new 330 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:38,559 they might not know the Sons are doing something with Chris Paul. Chris Haynes 331 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,880 first tweeted out that he was just gonna be waived, which everyone was like, 332 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,519 this is a big this is a lot. Then Sham's tweeted out that 333 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:52,480 they're exploring multiple options, including a trade, stretching his contractor waiving him, 334 00:21:52,920 --> 00:22:00,160 or releasing him in free agency, which is every possibility possible. And then 335 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,960 Woes came in and kind of said that he might want to return to the 336 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,799 Suns, but they also might be looking at trade ideas ahead of when his 337 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,519 contract is fully guaranteed on June twenty eighth of this month, So it truly 338 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:17,480 seems like they're exploring all options. We ask Clippers Trier, we'll get to 339 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,119 that in a second, if they'd want Chris Paul back, because it's not 340 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:27,480 an impossibility, but we have to ask the power quad here. We'll start 341 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,880 with the sleuth. Would you want Chris Paul back on this Clippers basketball team 342 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,160 for the twenty two what years? At twenty two twenty three season, he 343 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:41,240 just turned thirty eight. But we talked about this three or four episodes ago, 344 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,400 and I was the one guy on this show that said, in the 345 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,440 right role, I would take CP three back coming off the bench, playing 346 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:51,519 fifteen to twenty five minutes a night. He still was getting an efficient fourteen 347 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:56,200 and nine assists last season. It's really more about your feelings and what vibes 348 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,920 he brings to the locker room, which comes to CP three because he does 349 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,440 evoke strong emotions from Clipper fans, because when teammates he's kind of a he's 350 00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:11,000 kind of a prick. He's polarizing. There's no doubt about it. I 351 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,440 still think he offers so much and maybe some of what the Clippers need when 352 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,559 he's right. And that's another issue. You bring in another older guy that's 353 00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:23,839 injury prone, that missed the last four games of the playoffs or the Phoenix 354 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,359 Suns with a groin injury, I don't know if you can rely on him 355 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,519 obviously for eighty two games. We're talking about some of them. Somebody that 356 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,839 might play fifty games, and that's still with Linton minutes in there. I 357 00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:40,640 don't think he can be necessarily your starting point guard or something like that every 358 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,759 night. Slot him in and say, Okay, the Clippers finally found their 359 00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,599 guy. It's nothing like that. If you brought him in, it would 360 00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:51,400 have to be knowing his role and just having him in a limited role with 361 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,720 this Clippers team. Kelly, how are you feeling about it? Well, 362 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:57,559 I don't know if you guys listen to this interview. It just came out. 363 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,079 He was on a podcast race and he was saying that his daughter is 364 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,960 getting bullied that you know, she's old enough where you know the kids are 365 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,240 going up to her making fun. You know, not that this is related 366 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,400 at all, but it just happened to come out pretty much within hours of 367 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,920 one another. UM, I am going to keep it pretty short here, 368 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,319 and my answer is, you know, the Clippers already have the oldest roster 369 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,319 in the NBA. We really need to get younger, not older. Pass 370 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:30,640 for me, thank you, it's absolutely no part of it. Oh that's 371 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,240 wonderful. Will your thoughts? So far we have one yes from Adam and 372 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,559 then one definite and the right role for the right prize. All right, 373 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:44,519 No, it's an O for me. I don't really see any reason to 374 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,039 sort of like retread that ground. And I think that I think so. 375 00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,640 I do really think one of the difficulties of like this locker room having a 376 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,799 voice too has been finding the right personality right because I do think and you 377 00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:00,279 know, I don't. I don't have on this. I do think that 378 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:07,599 there was friction between the Stars and Patrick Beverley that contributed to him not coming 379 00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:11,599 back and then not making a move to go ahead and sign him. How 380 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,640 many times last year did we did we and everyone else say Pat bev would 381 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,359 be great on this team after what was happening in Chicago? I mean, 382 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:19,759 you know, it just makes sense. I do think though, that there 383 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,519 is like a question of personalities, and like that was always one of my 384 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:26,559 hugest criticisms of Doc was that he's not a manager of personalities, which is 385 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,599 something you have to do in a locker room. And I don't think that 386 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,440 he's the right guy. I don't think at this stage of his career he's 387 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,480 the right guy to have that voice in the locker room to pull rank as 388 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,359 I kind of alluded to earlier, and just I mean, I agree with 389 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,240 Kelly, like I I any move that's getting this that's somehow getting this team, 390 00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:51,000 even older way older, like I just I do not see it. 391 00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:53,720 I do not see the end game. I'm also, like I had to 392 00:25:53,759 --> 00:25:57,039 be honest, like, while the Rustling did end up working out, I'm 393 00:25:57,039 --> 00:26:02,359 still flummixed by this idea of like how fixated they are on a point guard, 394 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,759 Like why are we still doing this? Like I just we keep running 395 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,720 through the same like Frondo John, We've had like the most point guard of 396 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,559 point guard. There's just you look at the roster, it's insane. There's 397 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:18,200 just there's some pretty severe restrictions on what this team can do cap wise with 398 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,640 the two stars. They want to handle the ball less by all you know, 399 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,400 but by all accounts, they don't want to be responsible for, you 400 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,359 know, facilitating and getting the offense going one hundred percent of the time. 401 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,720 But with what what you have available to spend, Like the market out there 402 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,920 is not exactly like a game changing candidate. And I don't think like latching 403 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,440 onto Chris Paul just because it's like a a name, is really the right 404 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,480 move for this team. I just I'm not seeing it. It's it's a 405 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,920 no for me. Chuck. What if the situation is they can't resign Russell 406 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,200 Westbrook, would it make you any more interested in the Absolutely not both. 407 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:03,480 Someone said you should try and get both, and I wanted to jump into 408 00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:07,160 the road. It's what I wanted to do. Well. Clippers fans are 409 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,599 also very torn on this, we ask Clippers Twitter. We got exactly two 410 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,440 hundred votes. Made it easy. Do you want Chris Paul back on the 411 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,319 Clippers? Forty six percent said yes, Fifty four percent said no, So 412 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,119 we're not. Like I'm surprised it's that close. I don't know if there's 413 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,279 like I don't know if there's like a legacy thing or something kind of tying 414 00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:32,440 into that, because like looking at where Chris Paul is right now, and 415 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,039 like I said, just like just considering like the people in the locker room, 416 00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:37,880 Like do you think Paul George is going to respond really well to getting 417 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,359 yelled at by Chris Paul in practice? Like I just don't. I don't 418 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:47,960 see it. Absence makes the hardcrow fonder. Okay, he's been gone for 419 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,680 so long, guys. This was the first Clippers team that Kelly routed four 420 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,200 in the two one three era. A lot of people still have love for 421 00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:59,920 CB three. All right, don't bring Kelly into this, so law murder. 422 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:03,400 He had a great tweet about this. He said when Russell Westbrook was 423 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,599 going through his Lakers tribulations, the support he had from Clippers locker room was 424 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:14,119 quite widespread, both before and during his Utah Jazz Purgatory. Let's just say 425 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,039 the same locker room doesn't speak on Chris Paul the same way. For what 426 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,279 it's worth, I think I think it makes so much sense to not bring 427 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:29,119 Chris Paul to this Clippers team because A I think the forty six percent of 428 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,319 people who voted yes, once you looked at the roster sheet and you saw 429 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,440 like, so, first of all, if Tyler was coaching, Chris Paul 430 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:41,960 is taking Terence Man's minutes, right, like, yeah, it doesn't seem 431 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:45,480 available, right, Yeah, when Chris Paul is available, he's probably taken 432 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,839 Terence's minutes. I think the people who want Chris Paul and the team would 433 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,680 be very bummed out once they saw like the starting five, because I don't 434 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,880 think Kris Paul's taken eventu role. I just he was. I just don't 435 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,119 think it's going to happen. And him starting and we still have this weird 436 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,240 logjam of youth with like Bones and Terrence and these guys who can play guard, 437 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,680 I think people would be pretty frustrated, especially because Bones could really turn 438 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,079 into a fan favored I think with this team what Kelly was talking about with 439 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,640 having more of an influx of youth. They certainly need more youth, they 440 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,200 need more athleticism, they need the coach to trust those guys. It looked 441 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,559 like he had a lot of trushold Bones Highland. They brought him in late 442 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:30,480 in the season and he was getting run in the playoffs, and I think 443 00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,680 that surprised some people with the way he's gone about using Terrence Man, of 444 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:40,000 course, and that's also shocking because he closed games in the playoffs in twenty 445 00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,799 twenty one Terrence Man, and it looked like he had the nod from Coach 446 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920 Lou that he was going to be one of his guys, one of his 447 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,119 soldiers moving forward. It's another one of those things like Rocco that coming into 448 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,319 this season, we're looking for another big step from him. It didn't happen, 449 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,039 but having him and Bones Highland, and if you don't have a veteran, 450 00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:00,279 if Westbrook's not able to return, if they don't bring in someone like 451 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:06,799 CP three or an older guy like Mike cost Well, I think for a 452 00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:10,839 lot of people they would prefer to just say ride with the young guys at 453 00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:14,720 the point guard position. You have man in Bones Highland in one way to 454 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,000 maybe force Coach Flew to have to do. Some of that would be, 455 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:22,759 you know, structuring the lineup in a way where they're just not an option 456 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,839 other than goal with a young guy, like they did at the trade deadline 457 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,720 when they took all the point guards away. Just also a little brief ast 458 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,880 side, we talked about like how frustrating parts of this season? Where can 459 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,200 you imagine this season? Plus you have to watch Chris Paul play offense for 460 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,279 fifty games? Y. Yeah, I was gonna say, this is who 461 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,160 is available, you know, in demand? So okay, other than Russell 462 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,079 Westbrook and Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, Fred Randleet and DeAngelo Russell, I 463 00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:55,920 think we're gonna preferably ride with who we have. That that's who I mean. 464 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,720 If for some reason we can't work out getting rust back, I think 465 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,119 we'd to work with who we have. Yeah, who would you prefer kind 466 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:04,079 of that? Young? Do you want? Terrence? Are you in the 467 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:07,119 start Terrence camp? Are you in the give Bones? Because Bones is really 468 00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,799 fun to watch the basketball. I think it's very good. Bones is a 469 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:12,640 little more fun to watch. I think we can have both. I mean, 470 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,640 Bones really brings a different type of energy that we need. You plug 471 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,839 him in and it's a completely different game. It's a faster faced game, 472 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,680 and he has that confidence. We need that that get up and go. 473 00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,480 I think him and Mason Plumley had some really good chemistry. We don't know 474 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,319 what's going to happen with him, but would love to see him back as 475 00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:34,279 well. But you know, I feel like we have to figure out a 476 00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,480 way to make both of them work. And I know that we were hearing 477 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:41,680 some rumblings. I think at the end of the playoffs like Team A, 478 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,480 Team B like Okay with a healthy Koie Lenard and Paul George and healthy. 479 00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:51,680 So I think we're potentially looking at two different rosters anyway. Oh, that's 480 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,440 a good call with the two different rosters thing. Speaking of Kawai and Paul 481 00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,759 George, the Athletic, in an effort to seemingly drum up agement on Twitter, 482 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:05,359 offered a little blurb for the PG for Scoot Henderson trade. Have you 483 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,039 seen this rumor that it is really just something people made up because it works 484 00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:14,759 financially. I didn't know Scoot was already drafted. That's right, Kelly, 485 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:16,799 you've seen this. I'm sure where it's I have. Where are you at 486 00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:22,680 on the trade Paul George for what's called the number three pick and then whatever 487 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,000 what is it? Nerk and Simon's right, I will say, as a 488 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:30,920 new fan, I have learned it's just best not to speculate and just wait 489 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,160 until things actually happened. You're too rational, you're too radical tweet. I 490 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,519 just you know, it's like we were hearing stuff about Joel Empde and like 491 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,880 I have her like potential trades with Portland, and it's just like nothing has 492 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,960 happened. It's been a literal desert you guys, like you know, ever 493 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,839 since our season ended. So, I mean, you know, it's it's 494 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,200 fun to talk about, but I've learned it's just like, oh no, 495 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:02,119 we lost Kelly. I just got lost. She's bad. I'm sorry about 496 00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:07,039 that. You got Maybe that was the universe. Maybe the universe. I'm 497 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:12,240 so sorry that happened. So it does come to the Clippers. Now, 498 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:19,000 was this the moment that the un on YouTube? Anyway? Sorry, Kelly, 499 00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:22,240 continue that was I think that was the end for me. I think 500 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,000 I'm gonna take you know, that side from the universe to send it there. 501 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,680 So we're keeping and your eyes you're saying no to the PG for scoot 502 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,599 or the three pick, because who knows what they would do with the three 503 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,759 pick, right, I mean, let's just wait and see. You know, 504 00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:37,160 I need to hear more. I need I need to see at least 505 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,640 a little bit of woome loss, you know, I need. I need 506 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,119 a little bit well, I mean it did come from him, but I 507 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,640 just need need a little bit more rationale. Here, that's legit and now 508 00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:51,759 kind of the most important thing we're gonna We're gonna close out with this one. 509 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:57,279 This is the last non option year for Paul, George and Kauhai before 510 00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:00,480 they can opt out and sign Wonder Max. I don't know what the level 511 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,839 of Supermax they can sign is beta, so I don't know if it's super 512 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,960 beta Max. I think, yeah, super Sigma max. So how would 513 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,400 how would will we'll go to you? How would you feel if so PG 514 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,480 will be thirty four quib thirty two? How would you feel giving PG the 515 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:27,239 second Max contract through what age? Thirty nine? Thirty eight? Wait is 516 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,239 the other one? Is it still five years? I believe So that's what 517 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:37,159 Kyrie is Oh my god, mulling over. Yeah, Kai, I don't 518 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,599 know what Kyrie's doing, but yes, one of the things he's theoretically doing 519 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:45,639 is mulling over his contract, and that's five years, two seventy two. 520 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,960 I think that he has available, and we would be able to offer Kawai 521 00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:53,599 and PG. I think somewhere in the five three something range. God, 522 00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:57,400 that's so much money. Well, so, I guess here's my thing is 523 00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:01,119 if things continue the way that they are, I think that you're there's no 524 00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:05,840 way that you know, if we have another injury riddled season, if we 525 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,800 have another postseason that doesn't have both of these guys real quick. Yeah, 526 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,280 I mean I think that you roll the dice and and you let them, 527 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,400 You let the market determine what their value is, and you don't. You 528 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,760 don't preemptively, you know, lock into the Supermax um. That's a good 529 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,840 point because I just Max, like, yeah, Max Worthy at thirty four. 530 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,920 I just don't know why you would. And I think, you know, 531 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,320 obviously, with all that you've already committed to this setup and with a 532 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,000 new arena opening, which I you know, we've talked about it on here 533 00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:37,920 before, but I think has to be a factor. You can't. I 534 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,159 just don't see a way in which you're already the Little Brother franchise in a 535 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,320 city that you can open a new arena without at least two superstars in it. 536 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,360 Like, I just don't you know that this can't be like the We 537 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,079 Believe Warriors even or something like it just it just can't. It can't be 538 00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:59,039 like there's just not a big enough draw. So I think that, like 539 00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:02,199 we're we're headed in a direction where it's the most likely of scenarios, because 540 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,960 if you're in that position, really, what else do you do unless you 541 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,440 you know, unless you do pull you know, the trigger on one of 542 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:15,159 these like speculative trades and then you make that supermax someone else's problem and someone 543 00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:20,519 else's decision. I think that, barring you know, some more injury stuff, 544 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,599 it's got to be the most likely of scenarios. I just don't really 545 00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:29,639 see another outcome. Kelly, Are you giving out six hundred million dollars combined 546 00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,280 to these two guys when they're thirty four and thirty two? Again? You 547 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,639 know that is so much Yeah, so much money? And you know what 548 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,320 I think I really think about. You know, we've got into a Doham 549 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:44,039 opening next season and well, you know, I guess two seasons from now 550 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,639 next fall, and you know, if I'm Steve Bohmer, you're thinking, 551 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,960 I need big names to get butts in the seats, regardless of what's happening 552 00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:53,840 at both Kawai and PG. They're local guys. They want to be in 553 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,159 LA. They've proven that they want to be here. So I feel like 554 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:01,519 we may not have a choice, and you know, hopefully the injury gods 555 00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:06,360 are kind to us moving forward. It's unlikely, but let's just you know, 556 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,840 stay optimistic and hope. So but again with that, I think business 557 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,239 wise, I think we need some big names for that new arena. Kelly 558 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,559 is not speculating at this point per her name, which if you watched on 559 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:22,679 YouTube slash Clippers podcast you'd see. Adam, I have a feeling you're going 560 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,480 to say we should sign both of them a ten year contracts for five hundred 561 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:28,920 million dollars. Well, the sleuth brought out as magnifying glass, and he 562 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,880 wants to magnify the contracts as well. He wants a Magic Johnson like twenty 563 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:40,440 year lifetime comes. So I think what you guys are saying is completely accurate. 564 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,800 It's more likely than not, especially after what Lawrence Frank said the postseason 565 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,360 interview where he said we're committed to these guys long term, and I believe 566 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,159 correct me if I'm wrong, Chuck. But they're extension eligible this summer, 567 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,800 so it could be something that we're not waiting for after this year. But 568 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,320 it could be some news that drop within the next couple of months that they 569 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,599 have signed a three year or a four year extension or something like that. 570 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,000 Three I would love give me the three year extension all day. The one 571 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,800 thing I will say, no thank you. Someone brought this up regarding Paul 572 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,960 George and the Blazers and his trade value right now. I think it's higher 573 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,679 than people realize because the lack of free agents that are available this summer, 574 00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,239 he actually would be the biggest name out there. It would be a trade 575 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:36,239 but still being dangled out there. If if that's the scenario with Portland, 576 00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:39,679 So I don't know if it's as crazy that a trade could go down. 577 00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:43,760 Is maybe even I thought, you know, three weeks ago or a month 578 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,400 ago when we first talked about this, because to me, it's still you're 579 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,639 better with Paul George. You have a better chance to win a championship. 580 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,760 What does the number three pick do for you with trying to win this year? 581 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,840 But if you're saying, Okay, we want to move on from the 582 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,119 two one three era, you know that that could change things. So I 583 00:39:02,119 --> 00:39:07,440 don't know, I think teams maybe calling or asking uh and inquiring what the 584 00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:12,800 Clippers more than we realize that's a good call. I also got to say 585 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,199 too, Like I mean, I as a person in pretty reactionary, and 586 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,920 I've been like pretty I've been like a little bit over the two one three 587 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:30,280 era for a while, Like, um, it's just watching Denver this year, 588 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:35,519 right, I think that while it's different, and obviously they're they're a 589 00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:40,039 much younger team, I still think that they're you can retool around the same 590 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,599 core if there's like a definitive direction and like things fall your way and all 591 00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:49,760 of a sudden, you know, the conference is wide open, and you 592 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,239 know, I mean obviously they're tied up right now, but like a title 593 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,960 is within view, and I do think that there is something to While it's 594 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,199 a little hard to stomach, you know, thinking about the into those contracts, 595 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:06,440 two more good seasons, I mean just two more better even than what 596 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,400 we've had. And you know, you're like a couple, you're just a 597 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:13,760 couple of things falling the right way away from getting one championship, and that's 598 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,039 really all you need. If Steve Bamber can open this new arena with one 599 00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:20,159 championship, he can blow the whole thing up. It doesn't matter at that 600 00:40:20,199 --> 00:40:24,079 point. They could trade for they could trade for picks and completely rebuild. 601 00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:28,559 At that plane, it completely changes the entire franchise. So like, I 602 00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:32,119 don't love the idea despite it being the most likely scenario, but I will 603 00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:37,360 say that there is something too. If you can stick with something and figure 604 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,960 it out and things eventually fall your way, like, it could still be 605 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,920 a different outcome because you've brought up the finals. Does anyone here feel like 606 00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:52,039 the Clippers and the seven game series fully healthy couldn't beat the Miami Heat. 607 00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:55,239 When I see the Miami Heat beat Denver in Denver the other night, it 608 00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:01,320 makes me think they're not this crazy Golden State Warriors from twenty seventeen team with 609 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:07,280 Kevin Durant. The Clippers I still think would have had a chance healthy against 610 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,159 the Denver Nuggets. And if you get past them, look you get an 611 00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:13,719 AC that meets you in the NBA Finals. You know, I don't think 612 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,400 it's that crazy to run it back and hope for better luck is Kelly was 613 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,639 talking about early with injuries. Yeah, I think the hoping for better luck 614 00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:25,800 thing is where people are just tired, which the other side of that is 615 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,760 just hoping to make the playoffs in a rebuild. Yeah, that's what you 616 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,119 want. The grass is always greener. I mean that's the issue. Yeah, 617 00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:36,199 I do want that because the grass is always greener. And in my 618 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,360 head, that scenario would go perfectly and we'd be the eighth seed. And 619 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,119 I don't know, I think, I don't know if the clip I think 620 00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:49,480 the Clippers versus Heat team. Part of me thinks the Heat would demoralize them 621 00:41:49,519 --> 00:41:53,119 by kind of doing all the things the Clippers like kind of say they're about 622 00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:57,079 and like the hustle and stuff like that. But this Heat team has a 623 00:41:57,159 --> 00:42:00,119 hustle and determination that feels that's greater than any point we saw on the Clippers 624 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:05,760 last My favorite hustle trait is just absurd three point shooting that's like the best. 625 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,400 I would love that. Yeah, it doesn't happen to us. They 626 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,840 willed it. I'm sorry, but I've seen Kawhi Leonard beat a much better 627 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,639 Philadelphia seventy six ers team with Jimmy Butler, and he has wrecked him in 628 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,280 his career. I think the Clippers would win that series, they still would 629 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:22,840 have to get there. They have to get by Denver. That's the real 630 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,559 issue. I'm just saying. Would you see the Miami Heat being able to 631 00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:30,480 beat Denver in Denver? I think that was their first home loss of the 632 00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:35,199 playoffs. I don't think there's that insurmountable of an opponent to overcome in the 633 00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:38,599 West right now, It's still has a window that's open for the Clippers to 634 00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:43,599 try to find a way to crash through, like Chris Varley Kelly. Next 635 00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:47,599 year is Clippers versus eight seed. We'll see what happens. But you know, 636 00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:52,159 it's like we're talking about Denver, but let's not forget how great Sacramento 637 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,840 is. We don't know what Golden State's gonna do. It's like the West 638 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,559 is always wide open. So even you know, whatever moves we do, 639 00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,719 other teams they're doing moves as well. So I think that's something to keep 640 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,760 in mind. And you know, we see how young Sacramento is. I 641 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,800 think they're only going to get better. They've got a chip on their shoulder 642 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,559 now. They have a lot to prove, so it's not just done for 643 00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:14,639 you guys, So we'll see what happens. But that's why the regular season 644 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,199 is going to be that much more important. Yeah, we need people who 645 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,440 care on the regular season. It's funny too, because wide open. I 646 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,119 think when people hear the phrase, oh, the conference is wide open, 647 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,679 there's an idea that it's not as good as it usually is. Where the 648 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,400 West is wide open in the sense that there's just twelve really good teams, 649 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,880 so like anyone could be the tip. It's not like there's like, oh, 650 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,079 it's wide open, it's kind of messy. It's wide open in the 651 00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:43,840 sense that everyone is really good for the most part. Man, I know 652 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,920 it's only June seventh, but I just want basketball to come back so we 653 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,199 can actually dry. I'm ready for October. I'm like you know, other 654 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,280 people they're ready for Halloween. I'm just ready for I'm ready for the season. 655 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,519 You know, it's always that withdrawal you kind of go through. It's 656 00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:59,280 like, I'm miss Clippers basketball, but I been watching highlight reels at the 657 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,960 gym, and you know, the Clippers just posted one today season season highlights 658 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,480 with everybody, and it's you know, a walkdown memory lane hopefully. You 659 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,760 know, they even has some Don Wall plays in there. It's like, 660 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,840 oh man, what could have been? You know, but we have it. 661 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,719 We have it. I think, you know, when you talk about 662 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,360 you know, Miami, the one thing you can tell that these guys are 663 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,840 brothers. They genuinely love to play with each other. And I think that's 664 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,000 a big thing that we're missing and that's something that we need to give back. 665 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,239 Chemistry is so important. Get me wrong when I talk about the heat. 666 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,119 Their chemistry and culture and the way they're peaking right now is off the 667 00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:37,599 charts. They're great. They could end up somehow winning this series. They 668 00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:40,679 win tonight, they're up two games to one, and they already have home 669 00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:45,360 court advantage back in their favor. I just feel like still a lot of 670 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,679 it comes down to talent, and that's why the Clippers would come into that 671 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,760 first game with Kawhi, Leonard and Phoenix and just punch them in the mouth 672 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,719 like that. They are that good. If they're fully healthy, there's certainly 673 00:44:54,760 --> 00:45:00,440 more talented team. They have to gain some of that other experience and culture 674 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,840 and fostered, you know, just a little bit more of a direction. 675 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,440 As we talked about earlier that this franchise needs to go in and maybe find 676 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,840 the right guys for the locker room to help with leadership. But I don't 677 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:15,880 think there is as far away as some people believe they are. I guess 678 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,920 where I'm coming from. I think we need the sleuth and not speculating to 679 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,320 go give the team a pep talk in the off season. That's what I 680 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,519 genuinely think. Um, they're not listening to that. That about wraps everything 681 00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:28,760 up. Kelly, Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for 682 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,679 the work you do as a Clippers fan at Good Day LA. We need 683 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,840 more Clippers representation. You know, I really try.
