Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to season three,
episode forty four of Clips and Dip. I am Chuck Mockler.
We got the phone crew. We got Adam Oslin in
his house, not his car. We have William Updyke also
in his home, not usually in his car. Thank you
for hanging out with us. Thank you for listening. If
you're watching us at YouTube dot com Slash at Clippers podcast,
we appreciate that as well. We're gonna be talking the
Clippers five hundred road trip. There was some good, there
were some bad. We're gonna talk what the Lakers move
means for this upcoming game on Tuesday, as well as
just kind of the future of the most Hated Enemies
of the Clippers list, which I think firmly has a
number one spot. Now, they're just gonna talk maybe some
other acquisitions the Clippers might make after their bombshell trade
earlier in the week of PJ. Tucker. Before we get
into it, will I don't want to put you on blast,
but you are making a roast today and it looked delicious.
How else is that? How you're coping with this loss
to the Raptors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, coping with this loss of the Raptors, coping with
how a certain other franchise can seem to just slam
a plane into the ground and still get given a
new one or find another way around. So yeah, it's
it's good. It's good stuff, all good stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, what a yeah? Should we just open? Should
we open?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, I don't know how we're gonna go through
a whole segment without talking about.
Speaker 1: It, right, all right, Yeah, let's talk about it. What
was this trade?
Speaker 3: How did this incompetence? Massive incompetence? This is you know,
I listened to Nico Harrison a little bit earlier today
at that pregame presser, dude, and I don't know, I
don't have a lot of confidence to what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Before he left before he answered like three things and
that was just like all right, Jason Kidd has it
from here. Have a good rest of your day, everybody.
Speaker 2: Well, in case you didn't know, Charles run down the
trade like it just if for some reason you're listening
to this podcast, but you slept in very long yesterday
or something, maybe went to bed very early.
Speaker 1: Didn't see this, bro? What was it?
Speaker 3: This has reached our grandma's Like this everybody knows about
this trade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just in case you don't, let's run down the trade.
Speaker 1: Luca Dodgers is going to the Lakers. They also get
Max and Kleba Markeith Morris. Dallas gets Max Christy Anthony
Davis at the twenty twenty nine first round pick. Highway
run first round pick, which is what happens when you
don't start a bidding war and your I don't know
how to word it without sounding not respectful. It's such
a bad trade. Objectively, there's no way that it worked
because they're not gonna win a championship like it, So
like it.
Speaker 2: It begs to me like it begs a pretty insane question. Though,
Like let's say, like, let's just say while this case
of scenarios, they somehow win a championship this year, I
don't think it's pushed everything to the table.
Speaker 1: For one ship.
Speaker 2: You're still losing out on what like nine years probably
of a of a star's like peak or close to peak,
and in return, you've gotten an older, more entry pump
prone star and one first round pick that is not
gonna be as good as the guy that you trade it.
So like, like, even if this played out in the
bestest of case scenarios, and they wanted ship this year.
You're still hacking off like a pretty big portion of
competitive years.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, you disagree, Do you disagree? Isn't
worth it?
Speaker 3: And it could be it depends on what the Lakers
do with Luca. They might only get one. So I
like that's the thing.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 3: It's also saying, is Mark Cuban no longer in charge? Like?
What what is happening here with the Dallas Mavericks? Why
would they they only work with the Lakers on this.
Nobody knew about this, including Jason Kidd, but they're so
tight him and Nico Harrison. He was certain that Jason
Kidd would be down with it, and he has to
sit there and nod his head.
Speaker 1: Made a call. We thought our friend would be on
board with.
Speaker 3: I can't believe you look at the Donovan Mitchell trade,
You look at the Rudy Gobert trade, You look at
I don't know the Paul George trade, and the amount
of draft assets you end up getting smart trade to it.
They they either okay, I think it's two fair. They
hate Luca at this point. They hate him and they
don't want him to get the Supermax, and they're cutting
off their nose to spite their face. And they love
Anthony Davis beyond a reasonable amount, Like apparently they've been
in love with Anthony Davis, who's a very good player.
He has real health concerns and he's six years older,
So what are we doing here a.
Speaker 2: Lifetime and he's a full contract older then Luca.
Speaker 1: They've also that's a good way to look at it.
They also cost Luca one hundred and fifty million dollars, So.
Speaker 3: I'm saying they they're stopping him from getting the Supermax.
Speaker 1: They're running the risk of him just scoring one hundred
and fifteen points against them every single time they each other,
which might be possible given the injury situation they have,
which is unfortunate selfishly this now, I don't know who
was above Luca in the most disliked you know, current
rival players of this era of clipperdom. I don't know
who is above Luca, but there certainly is no one
else above him now after what we've gone through in
the playoffs and now that he's a Laker, he has
to be the most other than Joe Ingles, like they're
the one a one b right now for least favorite people.
If you're a Clippers fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they created the ultimate super villain for the Clippers.
Put Luka Doncic on the Lakers. As if we haven't
seen enough of Luka Doncic. Now you get him four
times a year in the pactive and he could have
been somebody that the Clippers maybe had a chance at
getting in the summer of twenty twenty seven. He's not
going anywhere. The Lakers aren't gonna let him get away.
This is over. This is their new franchise player. I've
been saying for years, like lucas one of the greatest
basketball players I've ever seen, and he's still this young
right now, that is twenty five. I'd I've never been
a hater of the Luca antics so much because I
don't know, it's masked by all the great basketball shots
that he has made, and I just don't care. I
get why some people hate him so much, but I've
just never been like that because I'm so in awe
of what a great basketball player he is. That that
you served everything else.
Speaker 1: Well, I hate that part of it, So I guess
I can understand where where you're coming from.
Speaker 4: Like he's one of the greatest players ever skill wise.
They just went to the championship with him last season.
For this to happen now and for him to be
going to the Lakers, of all teams, it is one
of the most parallel universe, you know, crazy, I don't know,
just unbelievable Lakers luck type of good fortune for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this was a this was a one
of one offer. You know, there were no other offers
floating around. It's it's just if the thing is so
absurd to me, and I you know, I got a
little tinfoil hat about it yesterday. I was like, there's
gotta be like they have to know something about Lucas
medicals or something like that. That's not looking good because like,
why else do you give away a franchise player for
only a single Like I mean, Anthony Davis is great,
don't get me wrong, but like we're talking about two
different stratospheres of basketball kind of and what a franchise
player can bring and just with the age and only
getting one single pick. Yeah, like it it kind of
made my mind meld.
Speaker 1: And do they piss Kyrie off?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: We talked about how much it seemed Luca loved playing together,
and that's why Kyrie was having such a good season,
right because the vibes were so good.
Speaker 3: Apparently he and a dieer boys Jason Kidd knows a
d from being an assistant coach when they won with
the Lakers in the Bubble in twenty twenty. I remember
all the talk of Jason Kid's gonna take Fake Bubble's job.
There are relationships there, but yeah, Lucas Luca to not
get at least three first round picks for him, even
with giving up Anthony Davis to me, who I thought
some people were looking at. You know, that Anthony Davis
contract could be somewhat problematic if he keeps getting hurt here.
Maybe the conditioning issue with Luca is so bad that
they are just banking. And I did have some thoughts
about him with.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you take offers? Though, if it's really about.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you, like twenty eight other franchises, don't fucking care.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what somebody is saying Nate Jones, who thinks
he's the smartest guy in the room all the time
on on X Siry.
Speaker 1: But this was somebody that put the gun away out
of it.
Speaker 3: Look, I have a receipt on him that is an
old timer where he asked, who would you guys rather
have D'Angelo Russell or Jamal Murray? And this is like
in twenty nineteen or something like that. You know when
Dilo had that one year where it was All Star
Reserve and he just it seems like he's always talking
down to everyone. It does. It does seem like that
he's saying, if they created the bidding war, Luca would
then just force his way to one team. If you
told Luca that we're trading you, he would for one
team exactly that one team would go, oh thank goodness,
here have the world take it all? Like, do you
think that the Kings can't get a ton still for
Daron Fox because the one team it sounds like he
wants to go to is the San Antonio Spurs. Do
you really think you're losing that much value or it
would get less for him than then what they got
for the Lakers. That's crazy. It tells me go in
fascinated with Anthony Davis and they hate Luca Dacis. That's
what this is.
Speaker 1: The smear campaign on his way out of them leaking
the two hundred and seventy pound thing and like that
is nuts.
Speaker 2: Though if he s seventy, that's I saw a big boy.
Speaker 3: I go.
Speaker 1: I obviously dislike I don't like Luca for competitive reasons
and stuff like that. It is crazy to me that
the organization would leak something like that, Like the players
are so heat, that's heat behavior, dude. The Players Association
has to have something to say about like telling your
beat reporter to say that he weighs two hundred and
seventy pounds, Like that's just that's crazy, that's not you know,
It's not like when fans make fun of Hard, which
is awesome.
Speaker 2: Isn't that what? Like Lebron was like to eight. I
guess he was too eighty when he was in Miami.
Speaker 1: Well, but yeah, Lebron's I think.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that far fetched.
Speaker 1: Honestly, he's six eight, though I know what's their build.
Lebron is like.
Speaker 3: Lucas Luca he is, but Luca this summer during the Olympics,
I was watching Tate, like during what the knockout round?
Speaker 1: But Len's like strong too?
Speaker 3: Is going on?
Speaker 1: Right? Luca?
Speaker 3: Though I don't think it's that far fetched that he
was pushing close to to seventy at some point over
the last year.
Speaker 1: I get that. I just mean the team literally beat
like because they already traded him, Like the trade had
already happened, and then they were like, all right.
Speaker 3: But now you have to justify it, so you have
to say something like this.
Speaker 1: Well, and that goes to show how gross and that
just like how bad of it. Like when you have
to do something like that, the trade probably doesn't feel great.
Everybody in the organization also.
Speaker 2: Like, this is an organization that has uh swept some
bigger stuff underneath the rug, been somebody gaining a little
bit of weight, and people didn't lose their jobs for decades.
So don't like, don't suddenly come in with this thing like, oh,
he's been miserable, he's been so hard to work with.
We just had to get off of him, Okay. I
I think there are some staffers who would say otherwise
about some some other people that have been on the
payroll and were allowed to do abominable things that was
ignored by the organization.
Speaker 1: So I can't completely buy it.
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh, he has a bad attitude, he's fat,
like I can't get it.
Speaker 3: Well, apparently in this world.
Speaker 1: That's a bad attitude. He's fat, That is literally what
they're saying.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing things are nasty, and I think the conditioning
issues are real. It's something I've been thinking about for
a while. Like he keeps going down this path, it
is to affect him. Eventually, We'll catch up with you
as you get older, Like, yeah.
Speaker 1: We would see it, like when the playoff series, it
was obvious when he would become tired.
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's so skilled that you think, oh, I
can keep getting away with this because I have this
pinpoint accuracy. But at some point if you keep thinking that,
I don't know, it could come back to really bite him.
Like but but.
Speaker 2: Turn out fine for Harden, Like, I don't know, like
watching James Harden right now, I'm like the way that
this guy was kind of like conducting, the way that
he was taking care of his body. For a while,
I was like, I love watching James Harden so much.
It's a bummer. I'm not going to see him in
six years and he's like having a second renaissance right now.
You could turn it around. You can get guys to
buy in like, I think that the issue was on
you at that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean, despite any conditioning issues, it's a
no brainer trade. Any GM is making this move. Rob
Polinka did not have to go light years to make
this trade. And this is the problem. It feels like
the Lakers, like you alluded to to start this conversation off.
You know, they set the rake down, they stepped on it,
and everything came up roses still for them, you know,
they had five years where they averaged twenty five victories,
and what did that lead to getting Lebron James to
come to their team somehow? Like they they luck into
these things. It doesn't matter. It's just that's what's really annoying.
Speaker 2: They pivoted away from the entire identity that they won
a championship with, let like a third of the roster
walk and like, and then tried to rebuild this whole
new thing. And yeah, they made a they made a
Western Conferce Finals appearance, got absolutely washed, and now like
they just luck into another new thing.
Speaker 3: They have the guy that I've been saying I think
is gonna be the next face of the league when
Lebron retires, is playing with Lebron for the Lakers. This
works out great for the end. They get Luca in La.
Speaker 1: Yes, Luca, however, will not be in La on Tuesday,
which is when we play the Lakers. We as the Clippers,
not US three.
Speaker 3: Obviously we'll better be a washing that night.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that a bit because with Anthony Davis,
the Lakers were twenty six then opponent's points per game
in the paint. So I have a feeling we're gonna
talk about what happened today with Zubots not getting the ball,
but maybe he should have. Tuesday is a day where
Zoo could have a twenty and twenty game. Who is
playing Jackson Hayes is gonna stop and beats the Zubots
like this is a this is a time for Zoo
like it could things could go crazy on Tuesday or
the other way, because it is a player.
Speaker 3: Having said that they just won in New York over
the third best team in the Eastern Conference. I guess
the Knicks now they had Max Christie that game, who
was actually really good and it has been good, like
his point of attack, defense has been good and he
was great out of Jalen Bunson. That's not nothing. Losing
him either, considering he's just twenty one and he looks
he looks like he can be a starting level type
of really effective role player. But still you gotta get
another first at least. But yeah, the Clippers, given what
they did doing last time with Ad, you would think
this is a mismatch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we all the last and it wasn't
just Zoo last time. Right, we almost had the four
to twenty club meet. If Kawhi scores one more point,
we got four guys on twenty with at least twenty points,
So like everyone was kind of getting what they did
against the Lakers last time. What do we think the
defense looks like? Again? Are we just packing this paint? Oh?
Speaker 3: The Clippers? Yeah, yeah, I'm hoping Chris Dunna is back.
That would be I think.
Speaker 1: What's your level, Chris? You were a and a half.
Speaker 3: I mean I'll go I'll go three. He's missed how
many games.
Speaker 1: Now, whole road trip? Yeah, he missed at least five four?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair five games. Yeah, I might go up
to four if he doesn't play against the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on. My concern level is as many
games as he's missed That's what my concerned level was,
h Well, what do you see happening on on Tuesday?
Because Clippers Lakers is always weird? Yeah yeah, Davis used
to be almost added that lore with that one that
rimmed out, what do you think is going down on Tuesday?
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that we've kind of shaken off this road trip,
which I feel like wasn't completely inspiring. I know we
talked about at the at the top.
Speaker 1: A little bit, but we'll get into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I so. I hope we see something
a little bit more locked in, which I don't doubt.
These games are always more amped up. But it is
gonna be It is gonna be just another weird one.
Like what I mean, is this a throwaway game if
you're the Lakers. No, because it's a it's a conference game,
it's a division game. It matters in the standings. But
you're kind of working with a skeleton crew with Lucas
still out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Clippers need to hit first hit hard, no mercy,
strike first strike hard, no mercy. What's cover christ motto?
Do not let him think it's going to be some
magical night, right?
Speaker 1: I mean, and we kind of that's kind of where
we saw the worst part of the Clippers on this
road trip, right was starting the game not strong, be
it against a Phoenix team that's just losing its mind
from three or something crazy. Today, the defense just wasn't
really there, you know, like like you said, don't don't
want to believe in the magic or whatever, like we can't.
We don't want to give them any more momentum when
they get Luca.
Speaker 2: Back well, and we need to like assert that defensive identity,
which I feel like was the issue today and what
we've seen. I mean, obviously there's nothing you can do
when teams are just shooting the lights out, but you
do allow them to get into a rhythm when you start,
when you start soft them in defensive end, and do
feel like that's been an issue.
Speaker 3: I would love it if Kawhi got to thirty minutes
against the Lakers Tuesday night. That'd be sweet.
Speaker 1: We will probably need him for thirty And yeah.
Speaker 3: How about feeding Ofviatza Zubats after what happened today, By
the way, since there's this glaring guy missing on the
Lakers that typically is matched up against the Vitza Zubas
and he's not there. Maybe maybe you give Zubats more
than eleven shots in a game where we played forty
minutes today.
Speaker 1: That was crazy before we get into the bad parts
and some of the good parts of the road trip.
Who are we picking for our player of the game
picks for Tuesday Night? I also think I want to
give kpj a shout out. He has a chance to
build on the momentum he had today offensively, Will who
is your player of the game? You're James Harden, Kawhi,
Leonard at Vitza, Zubats, Norman Powell honorary player of the game.
Speaker 2: I'll go d J jay Uh. He had some he's
had some highlights. He's he's been it seems like he's
rounding into form, and I think that we'll need him
against this Lakers team.
Speaker 1: I need that athleticism. Adam. Who is your pick?
Speaker 3: I'll go Mere Coffee. What if Norman isn't back for
this game, then he's starting again? Yeah, and Mirror has
been good overall this season. He missed some three pointers
in that third quarter when Clippers were just hunting for him,
as he might today, But yeah, I'll go Mire.
Speaker 1: Here's a good pick. Okay, I don't. We don't know
if Chris Dunn's going to play, because I was gonna
choose him. Do it, defenses, dude, do it. What's caught on.
There's not a lot of other people on the list. Chris.
I'm not ready. I'm not ready to put that much
faith into KPJ yet. I don't think I'm going Terrence.
I think he's done it before. He's done it before.
He he had some good hustle today, especially on the boards. Offensively,
We're gonna need him to do the little stuff we're
gonna need him to do. We we've kind of alluded
to his maybe ceiling before is like Pat Bev stuff.
Do the Pat Bev stuff, have a chunky stat line,
hit one of your two threes, you know what I mean,
or one of the three threes you take, like grab
some key offensive boards. I'm going Terrence, Man, he's gonna
ruin their night. Anything else you want to say about
this trade in this game before we do a very
quick audio.
Speaker 3: Break, I hate it. Not the game, the trade. Let's
make Let's make them forget about the trade for a second.
Let's have the Clippers thoroughly dominate the Lakers.
Speaker 4: On Tuesday.
Speaker 3: That would be great to see because there's something else
going on right now and it involves that head to
head tiebreaker. The Clippers need to win the season series
against the Lakers starting too, and oh would go a
long way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, god, all right, will any of the last notes
other than I hate it?
Speaker 2: Well, we still have to see it on the court.
Speaker 1: You know, sure, yeah, we can figure it out.
Speaker 2: It is players even like it is, you know, it
is a huge step back defensively.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I am.
Speaker 3: When they get Miles Turner this week, like they're not
they're not done. They kept the first round pick their
Giga big Well, do you hate it now?
Speaker 1: We always hate it always levels Coming up, we're gonna
be talking the Clippers road trip that was a bit
up and down, and then we're gonna also talk the
other bombshell tray that happened this week. If you're listening
to us on audio, was gonna be some tasteful advertisements,
and if you're watching us on YouTube you get to
see us just pause very briefly, suspended in silence for
a brief second ads and then road trip top coming
up in three two one.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, into clips and dip. We did
things a little.
Speaker 1: Out of order, but we got to get into this
road trip.
Speaker 2: The Clippers just dropped one to the Raptors in what
was a bit of a bummer. But there were some
bright spots, there were some low points. Charles, do we
want to start with what's positive or negative?
Speaker 1: Let's go, Let's go. I don't know. Adam's face is
telling me we should maybe start with what was negative,
So we're gonna go. If you want to see what
Adam's face looked like, find us on YouTube. Let's go negative,
and do we kind of want to talk to Chris
don't think like not playing the whole road trip, it
was evident how the Clippers missed his defense, especially against Phoenix.
You just need another guy who's gonna kind of make
things more difficult for teams that are shooting jump shots
like that was he was missed. And then obviously Norm
Powell was incredibly missed against this Raptors team who had
been playing pretty well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they obviously had enough. All they needed
was if James Harden or Kawhi has a good game,
they probably win. Just one of those two. They both
I think they combined to go like thirteen to thirty
eight or something like that from the field, and it
was really Kawhi's first bad game of the alumn that
he's played so far. Yeah, you know, limited minutes, but
it was still obviously his first really bad game where
he just didn't have it shooting wise, and was frustrated
with the officials and the lack of calls out there. Yeah,
so there are a lot of negatives. There's also some
real easy solutions for what happened today is Kawhi plays better,
James Harden plays better, and they're likely coming back with
the W.
Speaker 1: And Norm plays right because he looked phenomenal against the
Spurs and the Hornets games where we really needed that punch.
So they don't seem too concerned about the Norm injury,
which is good.
Speaker 3: I think it happened in a game against Charlotte.
Speaker 1: And he played after it seemed like the incident happened
because he obviously, if you've been watching the Clippers, Norm
Powell is a very tough basketball player. So yeah, he
was able to come back, but we just hope he's
there on Tuesday. Yeah, well we're talking Norm Powell hopefully
being there on Tuesday and that being one of the
bad things.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, and no done, No norm that's it's
a bummer. And then I'm working on a roast back
here for a second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no problem. And then there was the theme of
the day a little bit on some of these games
was the unseeriousness of the Clippers defense at some points
over this road trip. Is that just a fatigue thing? Today?
It seemed to me you could chock it up a
little bit to fatigue. It's the last of a road trip.
It's there, you know, on some and you know, they
played every other day until I think like the twelfth
or thirteenth that they have a back to back, Like,
is it just a fatigue thing? But it started out
kind of tough too against the Spurs.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, it's just a bummer because of the way
that they have set the tone and I think the
Raptors one and sort of how close things got in Charlotte,
where like those to me were a little bit troubling,
just because we've seen this team do a really good
job of not like playing the team's record, I think
on the road against sub five hundred teams. Going into
this Raptors game, they were like six and one. So
dropping one like it, you know, it's not it's not nothing.
And these are games, you know, especially we're talking about
the importance of the Lakers matchup. We're talking about, you know,
a Western Conference landscape that could be changing in terms
of what the stands are. We got a cat on camp,
we got at on cam, but like.
Speaker 1: It just makes it all the more important.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't know, this one was just a
bummer to see, like when when they did not have
their like when they not have it together on that
end of the ball. At the start of this game,
I was like, this is going to be a weird one,
and it's you know, it could be one that we dropped.
Speaker 1: It was way too close for what it should have been.
And it was you know, any team, no team is
a slouch.
Speaker 2: Any team can can be great on any given night,
Like these are the you know, the four hundred and
fifty best at.
Speaker 1: This sport in the world.
Speaker 2: But you're not doing yourself any favors by like sort
of letting them walk like walk into stuff. And I
just didn't feel like there was the intensity on that
on that end of the floor today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think point of attack defense just has not
been as good on this road trip. They're missing Chris Donn,
but I feel like James Harden's defense has been worse
than it usually is as of late turnovers.
Speaker 1: Ye too, Yeah, like he looks a little sleepy.
Speaker 3: Well. The game against was San Antonio and Charlotte. I
think he combined for twelve turnovers in those two games,
and the Spurs game was he had six in the
first half, apologize to the team at the half, and
then didn't have any more. But then the next game
he had six against Charlotte. I gotta say Charlotte played
pretty damn well in that game because I think, wow, yeah,
telling people out and they're bad anyways, And they almost
be Denver though last night and helped out the Clippers,
but they didn't turn the basketball over. And a big
part of the Clippers' identity is points off of turnovers.
They are second in the NBA basically like twenty percent
of their points per game come off of turnovers. And
Charlotte was not giving them the basketball. So was that
more about the Clippers not having that intensity? Was it
Charlotte having a good game. LaMelo wasn't playing and they
didn't turn the basketball over. I don't know, there are
some warning signs out there, I think defensively as of
late for them. And then I didn't like the third
quarter against the Raptors where they took ten threes and
hit two of them. Both were made by Niko Batoum,
and it just seemed like they were settling, like we're tired,
We're not going to do the hard stuff and get
into the paint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ball movement. As the trip went on, the
ball movement got worse for the Clippers, even in the
games that you know, like obviously against the Spurs it
was good and stuff like that, but this you mentioned
the Zubats thing. The man should have gotten more touches,
especially if the shots aren't falling, if we're tired, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Especially if you're struggling to get an easy shot. Like
how many times have we talked about like that is,
like that's your release valve, Like when for easy buckets
to like make things easier on those other guys on
the offensive end, like a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Oh no, out of just got a claw.
Speaker 3: And there's a three team trade that just went down.
Speaker 1: Wait what to the Spurs?
Speaker 3: Zach Levine to the Kings, who they've been had interest
in for a long time in a multi team trade
that is, I don't know about this one chief from
the King's perspective, like if they're not getting multiple first
out of this as well, I don't know. Do you
guys have details? I just saw pop up on the
TV screen dumb that down to the players without any
of the detail.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just any of the details yet.
Speaker 3: And the cat hit me hard.
Speaker 1: They got zach Lavine.
Speaker 3: Kings fans are gonna be irate.
Speaker 1: I feel for a man that sucks.
Speaker 3: The dirty little secret about the Kings is the reason
their ceiling is capped is because of Demanta Savonis. He's
not a good rent protector. You can't have him as
you're five, like unless you have a stretch four who
also is a good rent protector. And those guys are
really hard to find, like we talked about all the
time when people just get a power forward. Well, he
has to do these things to play next movie's Zubats.
That's not easy. So there are any details that looks
like out yet, But those are the three main guys
man the trade.
Speaker 2: What is going on with these teams? Can the Clippers
get a deal done with one of these teams that
seem to be taking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where's.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. We don't know the price that
was paid here. I don't Sacramento definitely was paying a
price right now, and they better get at least two
first round picks. Like if they get two first round
picks for Daron Fox and the Lakers didn't have to
give up two for Luca, Kings.
Speaker 1: Are trading Daron Fox with the Spurs and a three
team taine that land Zach Lavine and Sacramento along with
three first round picks. That was the Haydens tweet.
Speaker 3: They got three? They did alright? Then is one of
them coming from Chicago? Then?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, san Antonio has so many they can afford
to give them away. San Antonio can still go out
there and make another big move. They can.
Speaker 1: Jesus, do we count this as a bad part of
the road trip or a good part of the road
trip because we have a pain to the ass play
of the Spurs and it's not like the Kings got better,
So this might be on the bad part of the
road trip.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're lucky to get that game with the Spurs.
They still have one more against him. They play them
four times this year, I think, so they will see
dearon Fox does have. Interestingly enough, I've been listening to
a lot of stuff up in Sacramento just because this news.
You know, I'm from there and I have some interest
in the NBA in general. But he has like some
broken fingers or like spingers he needs surgery on that
he's been playing through. So it's not all gravy right
now for san Antonio. But yeah, that's a great dandem
with him and Lemby. The West got better.
Speaker 1: The West got better. We're gonna talk about trades in
the next segment because now the other thing that this
that these two trades do is make people now lose
their minds for big swing ideas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're not getting better, getting worse, and they're
seeing all the other teams and pro half.
Speaker 1: The other teams involved with these trades get better, the other.
Speaker 3: Well, we ain't got to worry though about Chicago. I mean, yeah,
I guess the Kings got worse at the moment, but
I don't know how it might not be that significantly
worse considering where they are currently in the standings. Oh,
like zach Lavine is having a good year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I mean, you've heard us talk about
why we don't want zach Lavine on our team. If
I were a King's fan, I'd feel the exact same way.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, if if he had a one
year contractor or a two year deal and it wasn't
bleeding into summer of twenty twenty seven, I might feel
differently about zach Lavine.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but sure, yeah, if he made a dollar
a year, I'd be like, let's have him all the team.
Speaker 3: Uh. But I'm just saying, like all the court product wise,
I don't know if Sacramento is like significantly significantly worse.
Speaker 1: They're sending Kevin Herder to Chicago.
Speaker 3: That doesn't he's been playing terribly.
Speaker 1: So the Spurs are sending Trey Jones and Zach Collins
to Chicago. Bulls also get and heard her Jordan mcgloughlin
is going to San Antonio with Fox.
Speaker 3: See. But the Kings did not. So they didn't get Castle,
they didn't get the cell. Those guys didn't get moved.
Speaker 1: That's I just read. I just read to you the
information I.
Speaker 3: Have the Spurs. I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. The
Spurs are gonna be really damn good, and I think
they that's the move they should make, Like why why
wait around for Wenby to be twenty five or twenty eight?
Who cares that he's only twenty one. Oh, we're gonna
wait for his prime to go out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just fucking go for you never know how.
Speaker 3: Long a guy can stay healthy. Do it now?
Speaker 1: Maybe in seven years they'll trade him for a first
round pick and a guy six years older than he is.
Speaker 3: So they're probably gonna make another move with their young
guys like the cell and Castle, and they have another
three or four first round paid, like they're gonna get
somebody else. Teams getting better?
Speaker 1: Are the Clippers getting word? So what you're saying is
it's our year? Oh? Yeah, Will had a theory. Actually
maybe maybe the last one.
Speaker 3: Will.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people. I think a lot
of people got scared when Kawhi came back. They thought
they could smell that it was our year. They could
they could tell that it was going to happen. And they,
you know, the Clippers, they were too good. They started
this arms race. What do you gonna do? Can't over
exceed expectations like that? And then bring Kawhi back looking
like he does and expect people not to notice. We
should have flown under the radar a little more.
Speaker 1: Man. Shouldn't have traded PJ. Tucker. That's what set this
whole damn thing up.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't have beaten the Spurs like that recently.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let let's talk a little bit, because there
was some good in the recap. Kawhi, other than today's
game looked great for the most part. He shut down
the Spurs late with Norm which was fun. The passing
looked really good and not He's seen it. You know,
we've seen him have good, you know, passing games before.
But he was getting the guys involved really well.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, the King's got the twenty twenty five Charlotte
Hornets pick. Oh my god, wait a second. Okay, they
did well here, They're in the Cooper Flag sweepstakes.
Speaker 1: That's insane.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I take it all back. Twenty twenty five, Charlotte,
twenty twenty seven, San Antonio, twenty thirty one, Minnesota. All right,
they get the Cooper.
Speaker 1: Charlotte has one. Yeah, Charlotte has the second worst record
of the league, the third worst record. They're tied for
the third worst.
Speaker 3: I mean, that completely changes my perception of this trade.
Speaker 1: Damn they got three second round picks too. Holy shit,
they could get Luke Canard.
Speaker 3: Hey, Lucas McCook it lately. When Jo's been out on
the Spurs, You're telling me Luke Canard on the Spurs
when this is wild? This is yeah, real time reaction.
Speaker 1: All right, who cares about the road trip talk? Let's
talk about if the Clippers are going to make another
move now, because is there Uh, We're gonna do a
quick advrec real quick. Is there pressure on the Clippers
to make another move coming up in three two?
Speaker 3: What welcome back in it's cliffs and dip. But I'm awesome.
We've got Jeff Mockler, will Updyke in breaking news. We
are reacting to currently and just workshopping segments here because
this Clippers team looks like it's falling further behind the
pack as the Sacamar Kings I don't believe got significantly
worse this season and San Antonio got significantly better. They're
currently out of the plan. But the Western Conference just
got another team that will be fighting to get in it.
Uh and look they go on a winning streak because
they didn't give up the selling castle. I don't know
they might make another move here. This is getting interesting.
Are the Clippers standing? Pat did all of this basically
put more pressure on the Clippers to make a move.
Speaker 2: Will I still don't think the Clippers are gonna be
loading up like these moves. I still think you look
at what they did to get I think they have
their eye on some buy out, some buy out candidate
like candidates. I don't think that they're gonna make a
home run move.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, Lily Batoom just did the emojiis thing
above the semp Sharani tweet of Sacramento finalizing the deal
with San Antonio? Do we think any do we read
into that?
Speaker 1: No? Well, I wouldn't look at you. I think it's
just either in terms of things to read into.
Speaker 3: But I'm guessing it's the French connection.
Speaker 1: I think it's a French connection. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know Wemby's getting his his counterpart.
Speaker 2: Does this change your outlook at him? I like, because
I still think I just don't think that they Yeah.
Speaker 1: I really don't think that they make a big swing.
Speaker 3: I what is okay?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They have a first apparently a first round pick
just one goes a long way in today's NBA landscape,
based of all what we just saw, the Lakers and
Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers have one. Who would you go
out there and get like it does feel like nobody
is safe all of a sudden. If Joannis got traded,
I'd be like, well, I don't know, Luca just got
traded too, Like who knows. Sometimes there are no you know,
precursors to these things. They just happened once in a while.
I'm not saying the Clippers will be able to get
here because basically, do they have enough to make a
big swing? Zach is out of the picture? Would they
would they dare to go after Jimmy Butler? Would they
dare to go after brandon Ingram? Those are like the
two big guys left that had been.
Speaker 1: Talked about turned out.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna get Steph because you're just ready
to get out of Golden State and we got the
popcorn for him already.
Speaker 1: Don't dude, don't even don't bring the popcorn out.
Speaker 2: Brouh Harden and staff, we get even older.
Speaker 1: The dumb It's like, well, and I mean I agree,
like they're not going to trade for Jimmy. I don't
even think what we don't have it. We don't. The
coffers aren't full. We're not working close to a full
arsenal of of movable contracts and like.
Speaker 2: You need your coffee and a first is too much
for Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need about forty seven more million dollars.
Speaker 3: I think, well, and then you look at players they
have to trade, right, and it's like Norm is making
nineteen million, Terrence Man is making eleven million. The extension
kicks in next year, how would they make anything work
considering they already got rid of PG ticker.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: That was That's why I think they're iying by That's
why I think they're eying buyout candidates. And I'll let
y'all finish, but I've got a wild one. I want
to toss your way.
Speaker 3: We think the buyout could be robust.
Speaker 1: People criticize a little bit of including PJ in that
last trade for Drew Eubanks because it might hurt flexibility
for other big trades.
Speaker 3: Later.
Speaker 1: Everything that Lawrence Frank told us was they're not they.
Speaker 2: It's just not on their radar.
Speaker 1: They can't do it. There's no like there's you know, oh,
the Colin Section trade idea, it's just that doable. We
don't have the draft capital to do any of these.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just think that you need to see one healthy
Kawhi postseason before you're willing to involve the first or
or do anything crazy. And I know that this is
our year, but it's our year. If Kawhi can play
one healthy postseason, that's the championship where you see that.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like, how could
how could you as a franchise, How could you as
a franchise tie in any more draft equity? How could
you send you know, valuable players out the door, especially
like how the team has overperformed bus Bar until you see.
Speaker 3: The only thing I would say is, first of all,
I agree, I agree. I don't think they should go
all in either. We've been saying the entire time they
shouldn't be doing that. It's too risky because you don't
know about Kawa's health. Well, what suck, But it's just
something you'd have to deal with is he finally is
healthy in a post season and you are a piece away. Yeah,
that's what would sucks that's the risk. I depends like
who is that guy? Who is that guy that's gettable?
I don't know. Is Jimmy Butler put them over the top.
Speaker 1: I think he also, I think he. I think he's
in the locker room too, And I don't think like
he would like it would just mess things up, the
seismic ness of how much you'd have to send out
for Jimmy Butler. Even if he came in and things
were still good, You're still messing up the chemistry.
Speaker 2: And this, like the space, like operating in the space
with like him and I don't know, man, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm just not I'm not. I'm not a fan.
Speaker 3: I didn't like De Rosenan because of that type of
issue with the spacing, Like and you'd have to give
up Norm Powell if we're talking about Jimmy, if we're
talking about brandon Ingram Norman Palace, gone right, I think
I'd rather have Norm pal than Jimmy Butler at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot less comes along with it too,
Just not to be the guy who's only concerned about
off the court stuff, but like that's important for achievement's overachieving.
Speaker 3: He's a forty four shooter. Now the second year he's.
Speaker 2: Doing, he's a way better three point shooter, and his
contract is like half the amount.
Speaker 3: Look like I would have been for.
Speaker 2: What the Clippers need. He makes a lot of sense,
Like makes the most sense.
Speaker 3: Are we looking at at some unknown front court guy
that maybe is available that we haven't thought about and
that's the missing piece for the Clippers? Is so many
people love to say.
Speaker 1: Will has a take because there are some buyout candidates,
and I have heard this take from some other people,
and now I've been talking.
Speaker 2: I've just been talking myself into this. Ben Simmons at
backup Center. Ben Simmons at backup Center. If the Nets
buying the Clippers, the Clippers in getting under the first
apron are now eligible to get buyout candidates, I think
that Ben Simmons as the as the backup center is.
I love the move.
Speaker 1: I love the move.
Speaker 2: I think that he got a super raw deal in
that Doc was the worst possible coach for him, especially
for a young struggling player. He got thrown under the
bus after the after Philly lost that series, he was
never the same again. He's not a max player. He's
not maybe even a starter in this league, but as
as a backup five or in some small ball lineups,
you know, like with with the starters. I think he
gives some versatility. That's a that's interesting, and we don't
need him to do the stuff that he cannot do already.
Like it's it's fine, it's simpatico.
Speaker 3: I did bring him up at the end of Clippers
top today, like I then Simmons on the buyout you do.
I didn't bring up the point of him as the
backup center. I think it's interesting. He's been playing well
as of late. Yeah, I think him with small ball
would be very interesting.
Speaker 1: Great, I mean like great passer, I can't play with
you can't play on the can't be on the floor
the same time as Zoo because then we have two
O of course not Yeah, so it is a firm.
But then the rotation, now we have another guy who's
out of the rotation.
Speaker 3: Then the Clippers do have. The one advantage they do
have is in the buyout market, because any team over
the first apron cannot pick up a guy like Ben Simmons,
anybody who makes more in the mid level exception, and
they still have three million dollars left from their mid
level exception they didn't use on DJ where they could
offer more than just the veteran's minimum.
Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm at on the Ben Simmons thing.
I don't because if they don't make the Robert are
trained for Robert Williams, which I have no idea what
that looks like, totally I would be Ben Simmons just
because of well, yeah, I don't know. It's kind of tough.
It's tough, yeah, tough. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like the ceiling for Ben Ben Simmons backup center
thing a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But does it helps? This helps save Nico's legs, right,
because you can play Ben at the five, and Nico
can not have to be as you know, depending on
what he's going to be out there with, like it's
not I mean, for what is available, the fit does
make sense. If you have a lineup of James Harden,
Norm Powell, Kawhi, Leonard uh Nico Batum and Ben Simmons,
everyone is a pretty damn good play connector who isn't
James Harden there with passing the ball, there's things to
be had and the defense is obviously pretty solid. Three
four five, right, there.
Speaker 3: Is a player like that, who's so limited with who
he can play next to. He can't play next to
him eats bots. Is that the best guy to go
after the buyout is the question?
Speaker 1: But also any other center he gets not going to
play next to him eats zoo Bots. And like the
guy we're talking about here isn't going to be getting like,
you know, tearing off the pants to come on in
the playoff game like you. I mean, like, I don't know,
I don't think, Like what do you think, Adam? What?
Speaker 2: What are you are you eyeing someone in the Like?
Who are you eyeing in front court?
Speaker 3: Is a bio candidate in the front court? I don't know?
Speaker 1: They got what you got?
Speaker 3: Drew you Banks. I was thinking about if Lonzo gets
bought out that somebody I've been thinking about because there's
just more options with him playing next to a lot
of different guys. Well, I'm hoping it eliminates certain guards
from playing as much. But yeah, that may be a
lost cause that shit may have sailed.
Speaker 1: What about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think either of those guys, you know,
it depends on if they got traded and then somebody
just ended up buying them out in like a three
Way trade or something like that, because otherwise they should
be able to get something for Lonzo, they should be
able to get something from Malcolm Brogden. But it totally
could happen where some of these good guys do get
bought out. I mean, I like Brogden too. Who can
be healthier between the two? I think has Lonzo played
more games than Brogden this year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about some very like yeah, let me
check maybe this year.
Speaker 2: Don't look at the last three.
Speaker 3: We did do an extensive podcast once when the Clippers
had brought in for a hot minute.
Speaker 1: Like, all right, so Lonzo's at twenty eight, he's got
Roden beat Brodding's at nineteen. He's gotta beat kind of soundly,
like by not an insignificant Martin.
Speaker 3: I think with Lonzo it's been more about they've just
brought him along intentionally, very slowly. Not he's been re
injured this season. They just have done a slow ramp up,
so it might be more interested in Lonzo.
Speaker 1: I don to slow ramp up. Then we get into
more like rotation confusion because then we're like working Lonzo
in with KPJ and Terrence Mann and Chris Dunn who's
gonna be coming back? Like then we're getting the Olive
Garden again. Right then, we're just do you need KPJ?
If you have Lonzo, it's not a question of need
KPJ's playing. We're not like it's he's a tie guy.
It's not we saw him be good today on offense needed,
but like he's a tie guy.
Speaker 3: I was like, where's KPJ. By the third quarter? I
was like, why are they're putting KPJ back in? Like
their offense they got nothing, they're just shooting a bunch
of three.
Speaker 1: Well, like you know, it's February second, he's still our
backup point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
Speaker 1: Which makes sense for the construction right now.
Speaker 2: I just like, if you have another guy who what
he does is like he's he's like a connector.
Speaker 3: I don't know. So back to front court, who could
we get?
Speaker 1: You guys love guards? You want more guards.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't understand it, but well so
that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I want replacement guards because then we get changing up
the guards.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm just starting to get there's a roster crunch.
If we get another guard, especially there's a roster crunch
with not that much time left before the playoffs to
really get it, Nail Dad, I have faith entirely to
be able to do that, But you'd like a longer
runway with a set actual playoff rotation.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, would you give up Terrence
Man for Robert Williams?
Speaker 1: Oh Man, No, because I think they might value Terrence's
playoff just floor raising abilities over what Robert Williams would
do in the playoffs. But that might be the games.
As Robert Williams played this season.
Speaker 3: I think at least twenty, there's real concerns, But I
think he's much more of a need than what Terrence brings.
High level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're not wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Robert Williams went available is a starting level center.
I think Robert Willims is a starting level center healthy.
Speaker 1: Right, But I mean when will that happen? What's his
latest thing? Has he been playing?
Speaker 3: He's he's been in and out and out. I think
it's been the knee, but I'm not prop you know
the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he had the like full robot leg.
Speaker 3: Back in with the Celtics, but like, how much is
Terrris going to be playing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I mean I feel I still feel like you're selling
a little low though.
Speaker 3: It sounds like they might want to first for Williams.
Speaker 1: That's insane, that's crazy. I don't But you're right because
like that, you are right. If KPJ is taking the
old Terrence role and we need a backup center and
Terrence isn't going to play like it or not the
whole KPJ minutes, it's like that.
Speaker 2: No, I think that absolutely makes sense. I still think
you're selling a little low.
Speaker 3: But he's not playing much and they don't have done
right now, how is he playing if they're healthy? Yeah,
I just and then if he's not playing, like his
value will take further right for this summer and beyond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where Robert Williams, it could even be about he
has a.
Speaker 3: Year after this. I believe Robert Williams good. So it's
not an expirer any games.
Speaker 2: How many games has he played in his career? Two hundred?
Maybe he's been in the league one six years?
Speaker 1: Are you counting? Are you counting? Get ready games? Stay
ready games?
Speaker 3: But he's so good and so needed, but he's available.
Speaker 1: He's played two hundred and thirty two games in six seasons.
He has played seventeen times this season.
Speaker 3: How much is how much of that could be.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah Adams, like I'm ordering the jersey, dude.
Speaker 3: Some of this could be Portland stashing him to Portrade.
I don't know, stashing him guyash, easy guy to stash
if you're hurt. Hey, if the Lakers get end up
getting him and he's cooking.
Speaker 1: I do. I want to say that I hate that
these are the trades that we're talking about after reacting
to Luca to the Lakers and Fox just doesn't feel
as marquee. Uh. But I guess that is because our
team is pretty well construed.
Speaker 2: I mean, like the create like the craziest one would
be some sort of brain and Ingram move.
Speaker 1: I think I think the craziest, Yeah, the craziest realistic
one is Terrence Man for anybody.
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, the craziest realistic one for a trade possibility, Yeah,
for the Clippers because Terrence.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the like craziest it gets as
training Terrence Man.
Speaker 3: And if you're trading Terrence, you're getting something like they're
getting something interesting. Yeah, but somebody that makes eleven million
at least?
Speaker 1: Yeah, who makes eleven million? Who's the center man.
Speaker 3: I think Robert Williams.
Speaker 1: I think that's the guy. I think, literally right, That's.
Speaker 3: Why I brought it up. I think their salaries match.
They're close to.
Speaker 1: It would be a contracts. Yeah, what a weird. There's
gonna be pressure on the Clippers to make a bigger movie.
There's gonna be pressure on every team that's not in
the play in to make a huge swing now from
fans specifically in less.
Speaker 3: There's a chance though, that the Clippers just feel like
we're good, we're stable when healthy.
Speaker 1: They and.
Speaker 3: They might be feeling like they're overachieving right now. Yeah,
and they're not going to risk any more of the
future giving up any of it. They they may just
be resigned to this is what we got. If we
can get somebody good on the buyout, awesome, But or
if somebody comes to us with a no brainer trade
for Terrence Man, great, But outside of that, we're not
taking any risks. Yeah, just for this year, for something
for this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's gonna be boring up until February sixth
for the Clippers probably.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I think. I don't know, I mean,
that's obvious. That's the most likely outcome that we all
thought that. Yeaheah, So I reject my original question. Does
this put more pressure on the Clippers?
Speaker 1: Well, it does from fans, but not from a realistic,
not from the Clippers front office standpoint.
Speaker 3: Prepare for not a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just because everybody else have your go bag ready,
but we're not, and we're not at ready. We're not
in like evacuation. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get off this podcast.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're gonna trade Dorm and Kahi for somebody.
All right, any that about wraps things up. We're gonna
be doing a post game live after Clippers vers Lakers
on Tuesday over at YouTube dot comupish at Clippers podcast,

one positive thing to launch Clipper Nation into Lakers Week.
Luca's Lakers is what I'm calling them now, just to
infuriate everybody. Lukers, the Lukers, Oh god, that's it. You
got it. You know.
Speaker 3: The Lakers can get all the Luca Dochchs they want,
The Spurs can get all the Deer and Foxes they want,
the Case can get all the draft picks they want.
It's still the Clippers here, baby.
Speaker 1: Hey, there we go. What a way to start the week.
Speaker 3: A quick apology to Nate Jones tell us spill over
hatred from the Lakers. Kidding, Utah, I'm sure he's a
