1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,919
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to season four

2
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,600
of Clips and Dip, the first episode of the new season.

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,039
Dedicated listeners will know that our season resets at the

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,440
NBA Draft, an arbitrary date set by all of us

5
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,000
as a group decision. I am Chuck Mockler, joined by

6
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:29,839
Adam Oslin and Will Updike. It's our first time hanging

7
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:32,880
out since a lot of Clipper stuff has happened. We're

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,159
going to talk to free agency, what's left for the

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,119
Clippers to do, and then some summer league stuff and

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,759
some dips as well before we get into it. It's

11
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:44,320
a new season. Adam Will, how are you guys doing

12
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:49,119
on this kind of sweltering day in Los Angeles? Adam

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,719
Will start with you.

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,359
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not enough of a dedicade listener because

15
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:55,719
I just did not know when the season rolled over.

16
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,079
But I'm glad we're starting a new season here.

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm good.

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: Been interesting watching Twitter over the last forty eight hours.

19
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,680
Nuz stop refreshing, which is gonna be more difficult because

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
my internet's giving me trouble now, so it's probably gonna

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,159
be a big trade coming.

22
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: But it's good to be back here.

23
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: New season, fresh start Clippers coming off a fifty win season.

24
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:19,400
We'll see if they can roll that over. It's a

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,159
fifty five win.

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,799
Speaker 1: There we go, fifty five wins. Will How are you

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,280
doing today?

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,239
Speaker 3: I'm doing good man. It's hot as hack, but even hotter.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,079
Are the Clippers right now looking to it? Oh?

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: There we go? Are you wearing a Silver Lake Barbershop shirt?

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,519
By the way, I sure am. Shout out, silver Lake Barbershop.

32
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:38,200
Shout out, coming up on.

33
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: You, coming up on do so I'll be over there.

34
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:42,200
I'll be over there pride next week.

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,239
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of letters about your hair lately,

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,799
so yeah, you should get that cut. A lot of letters.

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: One time I did go a while and Santy, the

38
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:55,599
prior of Silver Lakes Barbershops, give me a hard time

39
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:56,120
about it.

40
00:01:57,359 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: He's a good man. He cuts a good head of hair,

41
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,920
all right, The Clippers, if you've been under a rock,

42
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:10,439
resigned hard and resigned the Tom signed Brook Lopez? Wait mine? When? Who?

43
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,719
How much? Adam? How are you feeling? I'm giving this

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,000
an a grade so far from the Clippers free agency wise,

45
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,520
based with everything we've heard coming into free agency and

46
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,439
kind of what the front office had projected. I like

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,080
the moves.

48
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,439
Speaker 2: I'll give it a B plus because I still think

49
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,919
they could have a move on the horizon or bring

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,080
in a power forward. I'm just leaving a little bit

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,479
of room, just like five point three million dollars worth

52
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,439
of room for them to still use. Is that's how

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,479
much they have their mid level exception remaining.

54
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:50,479
Speaker 1: But so far, so good.

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: I think people have underrated the brook Lopez moved to

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,159
some degree. Somebody earlier today was like Yona's Mellan Twness

57
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:59,719
is better than him, and it's like, dude, brook Lopez

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,080
was second and defensive Player of the Year voting.

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,599
Speaker 1: Two years ago.

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: Yo'se Valancio has even made an All Defensive team in

61
00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:10,039
his career. Like, they're not They're not the same. Brook

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Lopez is a heck of a signing by the Slippers team.

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, will are you hyped on Zoo's vet from the

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,879
Lakers now being again his vet for the Clippers?

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, does today's change places as Zoo kind of

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,680
the vent now is like the longest as the longest

67
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,479
tenured Clipper. I mean I think he I think that

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,599
Brook might have to be washing his car or something.

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:31,400
I don't know.

70
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:31,719
Speaker 1: How that.

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how that works, but I I'm with

72
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:35,280
at him. I would give this a B. I think

73
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:38,280
it would be you know, like, I think a lot

74
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,719
of what the Clippers were going to be able.

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: To do this offseason was pretty predictable, so, you know, I.

76
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:44,639
Speaker 3: Think we were headed towards the c which still, you know,

77
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:49,639
given you know, returning a fifty win team with a

78
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,039
full training camp and coming into a season with a

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,400
healthy Kawahi isn't the worst place to be, Like, you know,

80
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,000
it isn't the worst place to be in terms of

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,879
where you could where you could be at in the West.

82
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,199
It does get a little scary looking around at some

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
of the competition, especially I think the way that Denver

84
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,599
bolstered up. But I would be hard pressed to not

85
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
give this, uh, to not give this a bee. I

86
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,839
think the Brook Lopez signing is interesting. They've addressed a

87
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:20,240
position of need that we've all kind of baled about

88
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,519
for multiple years, and while retaining Harden, which you know,

89
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920
I know some people sour on him through that playoff performance,

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,439
that is kind of going to be what it is.

91
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:32,000
I think if you're you know, we can't look that

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,079
far ahead right now. We just got to focus on

93
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,439
a full training camp coming into the season healthy h

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,199
and I do like that we got a little bit

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,560
deeper and maintained really that defensive identity. I know that

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,639
Brook is not quite the defensive player that he was

97
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,879
even two seasons ago, but still he is an elite

98
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:52,959
room defender, especially considering you know, how he can be

99
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,600
used more as depth. He's not going to be tasked

100
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,720
with a starting a starting type role, So yeah, for me,

101
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:01,199
it's a be Yeah.

102
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,199
Speaker 1: He brings the best defense we've had from a backup

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,439
center since Hartenstein, let alone everything else he brings, it's

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,879
better than any other backup center we've had since Hartenstein.

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,439
Speaker 3: But the reason he's a guy I've wanted for the clips,

106
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:14,920
Like I wanted him since what was it he have

107
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:16,959
like a little did he have a nets stint there

108
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,279
after the Lakers? And then yeah, yeah, around that time

109
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920
when he started knocking down threes, it was kind of like, man,

110
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:25,959
why are you, like, why did the Lakers let this

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,319
guy go? And why like why are not more people

112
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:30,959
kind of snatching up on this buy and low?

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 1: So to speak? Yeah it is, and he adds like,

114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,959
I guess that's a good segue into kind of what

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,480
do his minutes look like? Because the other backup centers

116
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,720
were not as good, so we had to do things

117
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,360
like play Ben Simmons at the five, played Nick Patum

118
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:47,480
at the five to keep our defensive identity. Lopez is

119
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,519
probably going to average more minutes than our previous backup

120
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,720
center last year, right, Adam, would you he's better than

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,120
they were?

122
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: Uh, how many minutes would they average? Like, I didn't

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,040
even play some nights, so that's tough. Zoo was in

124
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,480
around thirty two minutes per game, I think, so sixteen

125
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,560
minutes per night for Brook Lopez thirty three make it fifteen.

126
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360
I think somewhere between fifteen and twenty, depending on how

127
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:21,199
he's looking and how Zoo is playing. There were times

128
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,879
where we were saying, Zoo looks a little bit gassed

129
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:25,920
out there. He looks a little bit tired, And I

130
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,279
think this is also a great move. While you want

131
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160
beats the Zoo bots, who's twenty eight in the prime

132
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,000
of his career, to be playing heavy minutes and be

133
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,920
a big focal point in this team, of course, you

134
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,399
also don't want to wear him down over a long season,

135
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,720
and there have been multiple times now over the last

136
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,759
couple of years where he's come down with that dreaded

137
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:46,680
calf entry and he's had to rest some Like, I

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,439
just love this as a backup option, a guy who

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,959
could feasibly start for you, since that's why he's done

140
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,199
his entire career and just started eating games last year

141
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,079
at over thirty minutes per game. So if something unfortunate

142
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,000
were to happen or be so Zubos miss a little

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,319
bit of time, you feel much more secure with heavy

144
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,399
for Lopez in there.

145
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I like what you said about ramping up for the

146
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,399
playoffs too, because we do all love zobots, but will

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,519
we all agree his biggest like knock is the energy

148
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,079
levels sometimes not the desire, not like the attitude, energy

149
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,839
levels quite literally, the physical energy. He looks a little

150
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:21,600
tired sometimes.

151
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you know, he has been an ironman

152
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,600
and he has been very durable, but we have had

153
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,680
seen the calf things pop up a couple of times,

154
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160
and then the conditioning thing. Sure, I think it's like

155
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:36,079
a really great maneuver because we don't have the wing

156
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,560
depth that we once had. You know, we don't have

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,639
even when we're playing small. It's gonna behoove us to

158
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,920
have a traditional size center out there, because you know,

159
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,959
we're gonna play guard heavy, We're gonna play some guard

160
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,120
heavy lineups. It's just kind of it's kind of what's

161
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,120
gonna happen. And that elite sort of four wasn't wasn't

162
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,959
grappable for the Clippers. That wasn't a real move given

163
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,040
the assets that we have in the cap space that

164
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,000
we have available. So I think instead getting for the

165
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:08,199
position an elite an elite center, I think for the

166
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,279
position if you're talking about like that fifteen eighteen, you know,

167
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:14,959
maybe twenty minutes a night, like potential fill in as

168
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:18,680
a starter, I think elite at that position at the five,

169
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,279
I think that bolsters the front court in an interesting way,

170
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,199
is a little bit more optionality. And again I do

171
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,240
see the criticisms of you know, again getting older, you know,

172
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:33,519
not moving forward with any sort of athleticism, potentially getting

173
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,799
even older if we get the guard that everybody thinks

174
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,519
we might end up getting. But I still think that

175
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,799
it's I still think that it's a good maneuver, and

176
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,039
I think that it does present a lot of optionality

177
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,159
and some interesting depth for the Clippers in a way

178
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,440
that we weren't going to be able to navigate otherwise.

179
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a real stretch five we have. Now we

180
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,840
can play with the traditional big on the floor and

181
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:58,879
he can shoot threes and it actually makes sense for

182
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,320
him to shoot threes. So it gives that bench unit

183
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,759
a different look, which is really interesting and makes the

184
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:09,159
lives of bogged and easier. I think just in terms

185
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,360
of spacing and stuff like that, like there's gonna be

186
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,399
some interesting.

187
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,279
Speaker 3: And pop and pop. We can play five out with

188
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:18,279
what like what I was getting the we can play

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000
five out with a smaller three bard lineup and still

190
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:22,799
not be like getting completely crushed.

191
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: On the other hand, yes, totally. How excited are we

192
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,080
to see Zoo and Lopez shared the floor because that's

193
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,399
got to happen immediately, right, Fellas to get out of here.

194
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,879
Speaker 4: I'll say this, If you say the over under.

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,279
Speaker 2: Amount of games that they are both on the core

196
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,000
together is one, I would take the over.

197
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

198
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,639
Speaker 2: I do think they're going to try it. Houston has

199
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,639
three bigs, the league seems to be trending back towards

200
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,720
bigger front lines. There's a real chance it will be

201
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,600
tried out there. Uh, and it could make sense for

202
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,159
the right matchup. I don't hate it, like I'm fine

203
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:10,840
with experimenting with that sum.

204
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: I just the people that are like, we got.

205
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: To do it, that are so adamant, like this is

206
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,279
the move, this is why they're bringing in brook Lopez.

207
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,480
That's where I might pump the brakes a little bit.

208
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,519
Speaker 1: Right, let's start to be fair.

209
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: Every other big who has been on the roster's sense

210
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,799
of Eatza Zoobots. There has been some clamoring for the

211
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:32,559
Clippers to play a double big line up.

212
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: Remember the tresent Zoom minutes that we had to watch

213
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,039
where they would like two Stooges run into each other

214
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,440
grabbing a rebound, Like it's just Zoo has no idea

215
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,519
how to play next to another big, because why would he, Like,

216
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:47,399
that's not a shot at Zoobots. We would also have

217
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:53,679
Zoo and Lopez is the slowest four or five combination

218
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:56,759
you can possibly think of in the NBA as a

219
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,559
it's a pretty slow on defense. No respect that they're

220
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,679
at the rim situation, but like that's a slow team

221
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,399
on defense.

222
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely the ninety ninth percentile of slow.

223
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,159
Speaker 1: Front course, Batum is back on the two year, eleven

224
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,440
and a half million dollar deal with a team option

225
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,519
on the second year, which is interesting. So maybe that

226
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,919
that contract's interesting because maybe that becomes there's a move

227
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,279
to be had where he's an expiring or something. We

228
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,799
don't know how things shake out with teams over two

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,200
years obviously, So I think I like the Batum contract

230
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,480
the most, not that I dislike the other two, but

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,840
I like the possible flexibility of the Batube one. And God,

232
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:43,159
did we need to resign him? Also?

233
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems expected, but it was

234
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:53,200
still like a relief. I mean, it's one of those things. Again,

235
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,360
That's why I'm saying, it's hard to imagine anything other

236
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,879
kind of than a c really like and for this

237
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,639
Clippers off season. So the fact that that they've done

238
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,399
better than that is great. And obviously I'm over the

239
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,600
moon to have Nick Patun back, but I didn't really,

240
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,000
I didn't seriously give a lot of consideration of Hims

241
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,919
going somewhere else.

242
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Him and Harden were kind of like they're coming back.

243
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: Like I do want to say, I think some people

244
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,919
present the Niko Batum resigning as a token. Ah, he's

245
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,200
a good fan friendly guy, He's a Clipper. He's a

246
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Clipper lifer. It's like, no, if he wasn't coming back

247
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,679
to the Clippers. This isn't some courtesy signing where he'd

248
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,759
be out of the league or something like that. A

249
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:41,879
team with championship aspirations would have given him the same

250
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:45,480
money or more to bring him in money because he

251
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:46,639
is that valuable.

252
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: I think he could have made more money to the

253
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:49,799
right team.

254
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: Shout out Lily Patum.

255
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,879
Speaker 3: I mean, like, what you know what team couldn't use

256
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,279
you know, just a slightly above that man four who

257
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,480
can guard up, pass the ball and like just glue

258
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,720
together any sort of like secondary unit like ulture setter.

259
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Like it's a we Yeah.

260
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 3: Because of Patums, the list of teams that would turn

261
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:18,120
down that guy if they had the money is pretty short.

262
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,799
Speaker 1: And the h the list of power forwards the Clippers

263
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,919
would have on the roster would be even shorter. If

264
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Nick Watub was not on this team, it would be

265
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:27,919
one and that would be Kawhi Leonard because he has

266
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:33,000
to play the four hardened deal also one of the

267
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,879
more like obvious. He's everyone said probably gonna be two years,

268
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:42,039
around eighty million, two years, eighty one million dollars. I

269
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,159
have no qualms with it. Everything lines up with this

270
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,399
window that the Clippers front office has said was gonna

271
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,919
line up. So like, this is it for better or

272
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,879
for worse these next two years? This is the team.

273
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,639
Maybe Brook Lopez switches, who knows, but that's the core

274
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
of the guys, and that team, as Adam said, could

275
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,120
win fifty five games.

276
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: And you know, it is a new CBA world we're

277
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,919
living in where you really should be looking at the

278
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:15,200
percentage of the salary cap that somebody's contract takes up.

279
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,200
And I think he's taking up slightly less, even though

280
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,039
he's making more of the salary cap this year than

281
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,440
it was last year. So that's an important note. I

282
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,759
know a lot of people are saying, like, what type

283
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,000
of team friendly deal is this? What do you mean

284
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,720
he gave back money. It's like, guys, first of all,

285
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:36,519
what position or where are they pivoting to if they

286
00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:38,840
don't have him? That is going to make the Clippers

287
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,480
as good as they are with James Harden offensively for

288
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:46,200
at least having a real floor to their offense and

289
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:49,440
knowing how they want to play, and that system is effective.

290
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:53,960
So I'm happy for James Harden and the Clippers getting

291
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,440
this done. And it fits within the Kawhi leonderd timeline.

292
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,519
Speaker 3: It's exactly the other thing that you have to consider

293
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,159
about the team friendly thing is the years. The years

294
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,080
at his age very team friendly. And you could not

295
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:07,440
blame a guy for taking more, like for taking more years,

296
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,360
even if it was around the same forty a year,

297
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,759
because you're talking about an extra forty million dollars, like

298
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:17,639
at least so I I.

299
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: And the second year is partially guaranteed, but we don't

300
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,519
know how much it's guaranteed.

301
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:24,679
Speaker 1: That's cute.

302
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's huge. I mean, it's a it's a very

303
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,320
team friendly deal. And I think if you watch the

304
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,519
regular season, there was no there's there's no better option,

305
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,879
and not that I'm disappointed in the option at all,

306
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,840
Like it's it's it's a great option.

307
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Would you rather have Norm and Harden as your

308
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,279
starting backcourt or Chris Done and Norm Powell because one

309
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,320
of those sounds a lot better than me for eighty

310
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,759
two regular season games, no disrespect to christ but.

311
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,919
Speaker 2: Or if the backup options are Trey Jones or Dennish,

312
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,639
they're not as good as James Harden.

313
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: They're not giving you.

314
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: That system the same way and as much as we

315
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,639
were disappointed with Game seven, he only I think had

316
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,919
eight points. He wasn't aggressive enough offensively. Some of that

317
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,039
was because you go back and watch, he's being doubled

318
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,120
a lot, He's making the right play. He had thirteen assists.

319
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,279
He easily could have had twenty with all the misses

320
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,919
that were happening in that game by some of the

321
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,799
guys that he passed to that had open looks. And

322
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:31,320
he went all out in Game six and played forty

323
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,679
seven minutes in an elimination game there and was spectacular.

324
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,000
So I just think we should frame it a little

325
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,440
bit more fairly. Yes, it was a very disappointing Game seven,

326
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:42,759
and he has not been good enough in his career

327
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:47,120
in elimination games. Also, Game six was an elimination game,

328
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,919
and he pulled out and helped get them to a

329
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,840
Game seven, and four of the seven games in that

330
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:56,440
series he was at least solid to very good.

331
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,759
Speaker 1: I like that you guys mentioned the years because that

332
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240
is a very team friendly thing. And there were some

333
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,359
centers the Clippers missed out on right that some people wanted.

334
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,920
We had the number one guys we've been talked about.

335
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,599
Capella didn't come to the Clippers but it was a

336
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,880
year's thing. Lopez taken the two years because I'm sure

337
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,000
that younger centers who the Clippers maybe could have afford

338
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:19,039
on a per year basis, but not for three years

339
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,640
like that doesn't fit. It all just fits now, and

340
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,960
I'm sure there's gonna be moves. This will not be

341
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,440
the same roster to start next season, the twenty six

342
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,960
to twenty seven season. I'm very confident of that.

343
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: I like Lopez a lot more than a potential Capella signing.

344
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,599
Speaker 1: Well, I mean yeah, I do too, Capella. The people

345
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:46,039
fans of teams that Clint Compella is not on, I

346
00:17:46,079 --> 00:17:49,920
think overrate Clint Cappella into how good at actual basketball

347
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,359
he is currently because he seems like a fix all

348
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:55,640
for your center problems if you have a center core

349
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:58,839
you don't like, can't shoot threes, can't shoot threes?

350
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, dynamic.

351
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: Even though he's older, there's a real argument to be

352
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,400
made that he's the better player.

353
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,559
Speaker 1: Do I saw a funny tweet and then we're going

354
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,160
to talk about what's left for the Clippers to do.

355
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,559
That made me laugh because the front office has been

356
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:17,880
telling us what they're going to do with this team

357
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,200
construction for the last year or so. I saw a

358
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,640
funny tweet that said after the selection of Janick Conan Niederhauser,

359
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:28,200
who Adam and I did a great breakdown on on

360
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,839
the live stream after Yanick was picked. If you haven't

361
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,640
checked that out, check it out at YouTube dot com

362
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:35,839
sac Clippers podcast. They said, after the selection of Yanick,

363
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,119
I see the direction the Clippers are going in is

364
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,200
to stay put and run back the team cores from

365
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:43,359
last season. Why did it take you until the draft

366
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,359
to see that? The front office has been as transparent

367
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,960
as the front office can be in terms of telling

368
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:53,599
us what their plans are. Like sometimes you just have

369
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,599
to believe the GM and the owner. They're not tanking,

370
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,119
they're running the core back. We have a window. They

371
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000
think we have a window for two more years. It

372
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:05,519
shouldn't take the draft.

373
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,079
Speaker 3: And like, did they make calls on other guys like

374
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:11,680
they did? They explore moving some of the other pieces,

375
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,680
and of course you know, of course they're going to

376
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,480
do their due diligence. It's a good front office. But

377
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,119
I just don't see another path. I just don't see

378
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,759
another path without a hard reset, without committing to a

379
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,240
hard reset, and we had no indication the entire time

380
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,640
that that was going to be the direction they were

381
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,920
headed in. So I don't know, Yeah.

382
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: Just don't make it harder on yourself.

383
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 5: I'm also not even sure if technically they can do

384
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:47,960
a hard reset without having some postics like, yeah, do a.

385
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: Little bit of deduction, use some rationale. This was the

386
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,079
direction they were always going, and it makes a lot

387
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,640
of sense to go this way. Now they get into

388
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,079
the season and by the trade deadline they're ten games

389
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,720
under five hundred, right, then maybe they pivot at that point.

390
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:05,160
Then all of a sudden, James Harden and Kawhi Learn's

391
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,920
contracts are a year and a half left with an

392
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,839
expiring in there.

393
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: Like then it makes sense.

394
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: To continue to try to be competitive and be a

395
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,839
little bit better in every area. So now you're a

396
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,200
top four team and you have home court in that

397
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,319
game seven next time.

398
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:24,039
Speaker 1: Ooh, that would be nice. And there are some concerns

399
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:25,880
with the oni, which we'll talk about the third segment,

400
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,039
but that's not for now, that's for later. Any final

401
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:31,519
thoughts on the what the Clippers have done before we

402
00:20:31,599 --> 00:20:38,039
get into what's left for them to do? Big Sam, right, Yeah,

403
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,400
girl's a big fan Madam Anything.

404
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,839
Speaker 2: I tweeted this out a little bit earlier, but it's

405
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:47,000
interesting to see the level of patience and we'll see

406
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
how long they hold on to the five point three

407
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,119
million left in the mid level exception because they gave

408
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,359
Brook Lopez nine million per year over two years. But

409
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,440
to me, it's kind of a little bit of a

410
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,079
micro cap of the overall plan. They're trying to have

411
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,400
a little bit of flexibility. They're being patient and opportunistic

412
00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:10,000
to see what can come about during this summer, just

413
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:13,359
like overall, they're kind of holding back a little bit

414
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,279
from spending too much that could ruin a timeline in

415
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,559
the future or hurt themselves in the future. Like they're

416
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,400
kind of the same thing, just it's it's a micromachine

417
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:27,079
edition of it that they're doing right now with holding

418
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,200
on to that five point three million. But maybe by

419
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:31,319
the time we're doing this podcast, hey, they use it

420
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:33,559
on CP three or somebody or a Horford comes to

421
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:36,839
the Clippers out of nowhere, like, but I do like,

422
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,880
I like what they're doing right now because who knows

423
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,960
what happens with Bradley Beal. Sounds like he could be

424
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,640
bought out, there could be more unforeseen options coming up

425
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,440
if you want to have some dry powder.

426
00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: Was micro machines That ad with the guy who talked

427
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,359
really fast.

428
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:56,279
Speaker 2: Also in Transformers of the movie nineteen eighty six, my

429
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,599
favorite ever, he played the character called Blur.

430
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: There we go. Makes total sense. You learn something new

431
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,599
on Clips and Dip every single time you listen. Is

432
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:08,440
it about the Clippers? Maybe? Is it about niche things

433
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,519
that we like? Eighty percent?

434
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

435
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're talking what's left for the Clippers to do?

436
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,920
And then after that we're talking dips in the summer

437
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,160
league roster. There are ads coming up. If you're listening

438
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,039
on audio, if you're watching us at YouTube dot com,

439
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:23,759
there are no ads. Well there are, but they're not

440
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,480
these audio ones. So there's a small audio break, and

441
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,720
then what's left coming up? In three two one.

442
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back into Clips and Dip. We're talking

443
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,720
about the cap. We're talking about what potential moves are

444
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:39,880
left for the Clippers after what has been the majority

445
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,720
of their of their off season moves and talking about

446
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:47,039
a mere coffee could he come back? But let's talk

447
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:51,160
about this cap situation right now. The Clippers were able

448
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,640
to open up the full non taxpayer mid level exemption

449
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,960
and they currently have about a hair over five million

450
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,720
box left with, which really ain't too shabby.

451
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm happy they have the five point three I like

452
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,880
what Adam said about it being flexible, and getting brook

453
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,480
Lope has made me wonder is re signing a mirror

454
00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:17,799
more of a priority now to up the low amount

455
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:20,960
of athleticism the Clippers have at the possible wing position,

456
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:24,759
because right now Derek Jones Junior is in line for

457
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:27,119
the most transition buckcas he's ever had in his life

458
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,039
because no one else will be able to run with.

459
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,640
But that's the case, I'm resigning a mirror now.

460
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm of course fine with that.

461
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: I like a mirror.

462
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: It sounded like he wasn't long for being a Clipper,

463
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:45,279
and hence that's one of the reasons they didn't blame

464
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,000
him in that playoff series against the Denver Nuggets, right,

465
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,319
So if they bring him back, I'd be a little

466
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,599
bit disappointed. Like, Oh, I thought he was being bubble

467
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,440
wrapped because he's gonna be a free agent. He wants

468
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,119
to get paid this summer and that's why he wasn't

469
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,839
used in that series. Maybe that's not true and it

470
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,599
was just matchup and he was coming off an injury

471
00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:04,559
and played like one minute against the Golden State Warriors

472
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:09,079
in game aty two. But if he comes back, he's

473
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,480
like the ninth or tenth guy. And even though he's

474
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:14,759
one of their better athletes, how many minutes is he

475
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:16,799
getting per night? I think you need to find somebody

476
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:20,160
that's going to have more usage and then also bring

477
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,599
that athleticism.

478
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,039
Speaker 1: That is a fair point. He did just post on

479
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:28,839
ig like a neon sign that says your time is coming.

480
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,960
So maybe, as Adam said, as soon as we get

481
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,160
done recording this, there will be some news. I like

482
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,519
that point that you said about his usage, because if

483
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:40,000
the athleticism is just on the bench, it's not really athleticism.

484
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:44,400
It's just athletics sitting down. I guess, well, where are

485
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,000
you at on it?

486
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I didn't interpret that his low usage in the

487
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,079
playoffs is a bubble wrap thing. I mean, he had

488
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,839
kind of been working his way out of the rotation,

489
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:58,400
out of the rotation since coming back from that injury,

490
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,759
which happened that sort of an unfortunate time for him. Uh,

491
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:04,759
And he didn't look you know, he didn't look as

492
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,680
good he certainly was. There was a drop off there defensively,

493
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:12,279
and it's kind of just been you know, I feel

494
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:14,960
bad because as much as he has developed, it has

495
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:17,839
been sort of a victim of circumstance with sort of

496
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,759
a surplus of kind of overlapping talents with what a

497
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:26,319
mirror can really provide. So I definitely wouldn't be mad

498
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:33,480
at the resigning. I would just I would just prefer, Yeah,

499
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,720
if we got somebody who was going to have a

500
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:35,759
little bit more utility.

501
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: To Adam's point, if he came back on a veteran minimum,

502
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,559
he would make less than he made the last couple

503
00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:45,480
of years, which we thought was a bargain for a

504
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:46,279
mere Yeah.

505
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,279
Speaker 1: So last contract was like two million dollars a year.

506
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:55,599
Speaker 2: I thought it was like four years. Oh so three years,

507
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:56,559
four milliona yere.

508
00:25:56,759 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: I apologize three for eleven, so three point four three

509
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000
two point six and the last year was three point nine.

510
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,519
Speaker 4: It would still be less.

511
00:26:06,839 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

512
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: Uh well, yeah, because the vestal minimum if you have

513
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,519
ten years in the league, I think it's.

514
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Three point three.

515
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: They gave.

516
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: If they gave the five point three the rest of

517
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,200
the mid level exception, how would people feel about that?

518
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: I guess we also still need a backup point guard too, right,

519
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,079
do we like, do we trust Bogie in the regular

520
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,880
season in norm and combination of Christine to set that

521
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,480
stuff up.

522
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,599
Speaker 3: I hope that that. I hope that that's enough. I

523
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:42,039
hope that it's that's enough for its time to jettison

524
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:42,480
the guard.

525
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: That's fair. I mean, I like that logic.

526
00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:51,319
Speaker 2: I mean we did say, yes, they need to upgrade

527
00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:54,640
the guard position. Lot Murray has talked about it a lot.

528
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,960
They were looking at that in the draft. They got

529
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:00,519
Kobe Sanders.

530
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,079
Speaker 4: But they did get by last year, and.

531
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:07,759
Speaker 2: Granted a lot of that was because James Harden played

532
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:10,319
so many minutes. If we want a chance to ramp

533
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119
that down, though, I think they do need to have

534
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,160
somebody that has more seasoning at that position.

535
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: Are you where you guys at on Chris Paul coming,

536
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,759
because apparently the Chris Paul thing is kind of weird.

537
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:25,119
He wants to start, which I don't think any of

538
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,400
us complaining, right, Like, that's what he's been doing. He's

539
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,519
very good at playing point guard. It's between him and

540
00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:37,079
the it's beeing us and the Suns. What do you

541
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:39,559
think the Clipper shot is here? Because he's not I

542
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,240
do not think he's starting. If he comes here, you

543
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:45,440
can't put Harden at the two with how the team

544
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,440
has been constructed.

545
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: I don't think you go back to the Houston days

546
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:53,279
just just seven years later.

547
00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't totally put it out of the room. A possibility.

548
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,839
I would say it's unlikely. Sure, But it's really about

549
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,920
what does he want more being in LA or starting

550
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,200
and being close to LA and Phoenix another place who's

551
00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:13,400
comfortable at.

552
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: And if it is a start, Like, what is he

553
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,599
expecting from you know, said starting role? Like does he

554
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,079
just want to be announced with the starters? Because you know,

555
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:26,400
I think we've seen this team manage rotations in an

556
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,279
interesting way or a way that can be beneficial enough

557
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:31,559
to where maybe you could scheme around that, maybe you

558
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:35,359
could make that work. Is he looking for, you know,

559
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,079
in terms of usage and production the role of a

560
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,039
starting point guard, you know, talking thirty thirty two plus

561
00:28:44,079 --> 00:28:48,799
minutes a night, you know, controlling, you know, like twenty

562
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,880
percent usage rate or something that I'm not really seeing.

563
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was at fourteen percent usage last year. Yeah,

564
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,079
which makes sense on the team aspect where we got Harden.

565
00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:06,359
According to Basketball Reference, played shooting guard fifty three percent

566
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,240
of his minutes last year, but I those are a

567
00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:13,039
little do not trust that at all because he's bringing

568
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:14,279
the ball, like you know what I mean, Like in

569
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:17,319
my head, shooting guard is not I think that.

570
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd look at what, like what's his usage rate is?

571
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,319
Like I would say it's the bigger right.

572
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,599
Speaker 1: I think that's what the the positioning on NBA dot com,

573
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,400
sad or whatever, that he was the shooting guard. But yeah,

574
00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:31,880
he was initiating the whole offense. Yeah, maybe it's like

575
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,880
a Gortat start, a more respectful version of the Gortat

576
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:37,759
start for the people who remember the Polish Hammer's tenure here.

577
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I could see him being the first

578
00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:43,519
sub out. He could you know, he would get significant

579
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:47,680
time being the guard when James Harden is on the bench.

580
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:51,160
But yeah, as far as like a twenty percent plus

581
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:55,039
usage rate with like starter little minutes, I don't see that, man.

582
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,440
I gotta be honest, I don't see that on a

583
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,839
contender really any where at this point of his career.

584
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,799
Speaker 1: And what does the defense look like in the CLIPS

585
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:05,680
system too.

586
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:09,519
Speaker 2: That's the problem, right, how do you have that starting

587
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:13,200
backcourt of he and James Harden. I know some people,

588
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:16,400
and then is norm yea three or now he's back

589
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,279
to coming off the bench, he's gonna be still here, Like,

590
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:26,880
so you have DJ in there or Chris done, and

591
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,640
then Kawhi and Zubas. I just don't love that as

592
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,200
your starting backcourt. There was a real issue with him

593
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,400
in the Golden State Warriors when he came there. Would

594
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,519
he be starting or not?

595
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if they want to go through that either.

596
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's it's gonna ruffle someone's feathers, and do

597
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,559
you you know what I mean? Like he's a guy

598
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:49,160
who he's been a good teammate. Obviously, he's not like

599
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,839
someone who's gonna blow up or something like that. I

600
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:56,839
don't think if you were, but I guess does the

601
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:58,920
does him go into the Suns also depend on what

602
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,119
happens with Beale because that seems messy as hell right now.

603
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,880
That's I'm so happy the Sons are in a free fall.

604
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:07,160
I love.

605
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, who would you rather have in the backcourt there? Oh,

606
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:13,960
good question, Chris Paul and Beale or Chris Paul and

607
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:18,559
James Harden Jesus Christ.

608
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Chris Paul and James Harden, because yeah.

609
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, tenable with Phoenix. I think that's over one way

610
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:26,880
or another. They're just going to send him home or

611
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,319
they're going to buy him out, and those are the

612
00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:31,839
re porch that are out there. I don't think he's

613
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:33,039
coming back, and.

614
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: How much so like the waving so Keith Smith, thank

615
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,400
you to Keith Smith for this and for the idea

616
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,880
to have the bubble at Disney World. Keith Smith said,

617
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,359
waving and stretching is the issue with Beale. You can't

618
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,079
carry more than fifteen percent of the cap and stretched

619
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:49,880
money Beal makes sense.

620
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,519
Speaker 3: Jeams would shoot themselves their absolute foot off.

621
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Beal's full them out. Plus the stretched money Phoenix already

622
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,359
has on the books as too much. In order to

623
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:04,359
be able to stretch bal they would need him to

624
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:06,720
give a chunk of his salary in a buyout, and

625
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:12,799
that chunk is like twenty million dollars, which is not unprecedented.

626
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:18,680
Griffin Blake gave back twenty uh somewhat. I can't remember

627
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240
who else when they gave back like nineteen, I don't know.

628
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: But.

629
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: Oh, was he going to be trying?

630
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: How much of that is he going to be trying

631
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,119
to make up the difference in with his new team?

632
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,640
For instance, if the Clippers are interesting. According to Omyonga Suit,

633
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:43,200
they're monitoring the situation so well. DeAndre Ayden he took

634
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:47,000
ten million less off of the thirty five million he

635
00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:49,519
was going to make this year with the Portland Trailblazers,

636
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,799
and the Lakers kind of made up for it, giving

637
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,960
him like eight and a half, So we only lost

638
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,039
a million and a half.

639
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, different scenario though much. It's much different than

640
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:10,160
twenty million dollars. Yeah, you've been making Yeah, it looks

641
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,559
like even if you've been making max money, I still

642
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,880
think it would have to be a consideration, a very

643
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,480
huge consideration.

644
00:33:21,319 --> 00:33:23,559
Speaker 1: And does it depend if things are going well with

645
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,359
the team or not, you know what I mean? Like

646
00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:27,000
if he's like, I hate it here, but you guys

647
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:29,000
are also not making my life easier, so why would

648
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:29,839
I give you any money?

649
00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:32,319
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean that's the thing too. I'm not privy

650
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720
enough to what those internal conflicts were. Like, Like, I

651
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,200
don't think that it was necessarily as bad as some

652
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:42,440
reports have suggested, but a team with that much talent

653
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:48,000
underperforming that harshly and just the sort of tumultuous situation

654
00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:51,319
that we understand Phoenix to be as a franchise in general,

655
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,039
you gotta assume that it's not like it's certainly not

656
00:33:55,119 --> 00:33:58,160
a place you're taking a pay cut to want to be.

657
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I don't think I mean there, Yeah, the

658
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:03,319
report that there was fist fights like that, that's crazy.

659
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: No, that's what's overblown to me.

660
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: But the vibes cannot be good.

661
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: I take any locker room where you're losing a lot

662
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,800
is not a fun locker room. Maybe if you're like

663
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,159
a young team, but yeah, maybe if you're like a

664
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:20,840
young team or something like that. But if you're a

665
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,960
team that has you know, made uh made a finals

666
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,559
within the last half decade, you have the one of

667
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:34,199
the largest payrolls in the game, a bunch of vets,

668
00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:37,400
and you're losing a lot, that is just it's not

669
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,480
It's not a good recipe for a great locker room.

670
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,519
I think the other consideration, too, is gonna have to

671
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:45,880
be like, what does Devin Booker want? Because if Devin

672
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,920
Booker wants Bradley Bradley, they're gonna do you know, they're

673
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,639
gonna do I mean, at that rate, wouldn't you almost

674
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,239
just like take a loss on a trade, Like on

675
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,800
a trade you know what? I mean, like I don't

676
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,320
think you you can't attach an asset, but you take back,

677
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,039
you take back slightly more money if you can cut

678
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:09,639
you know what I mean, if you can trim here

679
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:14,559
and cut there, and so you're lowering your overall if

680
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:17,400
in the aggregate you can lower your overall sort of

681
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:21,320
cap burden more than that that fifteen percent. But at

682
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,679
the same time, get Bill gone. If that's what Booker wants,

683
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:24,760
I mean, that's what you're gonna do.

684
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.

685
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,679
Speaker 3: Risk losing another you can't risk losing well.

686
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: I just signed him. I mean they signed with Devin.

687
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,400
Booker's chilling in Phoenix. He does not care. I think

688
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,320
he has enough money.

689
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's true though that's fair. And

690
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,239
if we know anything about like these long term contracts,

691
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,079
you know, like it's movable to a certain extent, yes,

692
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,400
like the team has the control, but at the same time,

693
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:56,400
like not really man like a superstar with four years

694
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,320
left on their deal can still I mean, depending on

695
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,000
the level of play, either I can can, uh can

696
00:36:03,079 --> 00:36:08,760
kind of move move mountains if the demand is loud enough.

697
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,960
So I think with this right, we don't have a

698
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,880
tangent there. We're talking about Devin Booker. What's the hell

699
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,159
kind of podcast is there?

700
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: So I think just to bring it around. Uh, I

701
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,440
think the Clippers probably stand pat and keep that five

702
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,960
point three. Like Adam said, I don't know. The most

703
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,599
likely scenario is Chris Paul obviously coming to the Clippers

704
00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:36,320
versus compared to the Bradley Beal scenario. I would prefer

705
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,400
Chris Paul to Bradley Beal because we have much Bill

706
00:36:40,519 --> 00:36:45,079
is a good shooter, though it's weird. Uh, I guess

707
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,039
it's between the two. I hope it's Chris Paul, but

708
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:49,599
I also think more often than that it's going to

709
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:57,760
be neither. Yeah, which is not a terrible thing nostalgia wise. Sure,

710
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,679
big loss.

711
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 3: Although if you did get cut, like, what better revenge

712
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,920
would there be than playing against a rival, a conference rival. Uh,

713
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,559
even if it's not in the role, I'm sure that

714
00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:12,519
you prefer.

715
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,679
Speaker 1: That is a he would be motivated, you would think, Yeah,

716
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,960
the most hilarious outcome is he somehow ends up back

717
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,320
in Washington. Yeah, of course, I mean that would be great.

718
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,159
That's just a good time. Okay, anything else before we

719
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:30,840
move on to the next segment that also hopefully includes

720
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,679
Adam alson to that.

721
00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:37,119
Speaker 3: No, I think I guess The one other thing is,

722
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,239
if you maintain a roster spot and you have five

723
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,039
point three million to play with, can you get involved

724
00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:45,280
as like a third team in some sort of other

725
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,800
trade where you take on some money, where you're able

726
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,280
to take on a little bit of money and maybe

727
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,400
you can milk an asset out of it, even if

728
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,239
it's a second round pick or something like that.

729
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

730
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 3: Well, you know, like s, teams need facilitators and they

731
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,920
need people who are you know, who are under the

732
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,480
apron to be able to do some things. And yes,

733
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:05,239
five point three million is not a lot. I'm not

734
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,039
saying that you know it's going to be a world

735
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:11,280
changer or anything, but you do have some optionality there.

736
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,239
If you do miss out on two actual players, who

737
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,920
could you know, if they were willing to play for

738
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,400
that amount, who could contribute? I could see either one

739
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,760
of them obviously contributing to this team in some way,

740
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,400
just not in a starter capacity.

741
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we get in on that supposed seventeam trade that's

742
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,199
going to go down with the Rock, which also can

743
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,039
I say I am thirty five years old, I'm too

744
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:35,559
old for a seven team trade.

745
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 3: I don't Someone is going to have to put together

746
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,559
a spark notes for me.

747
00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: I need the spark notes of it. I need an

748
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,480
infographic of it. I don't care. Give me seven individual trades,

749
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,519
love that seventeam trade. I'm too old for it. Oh

750
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:51,559
my god, Adam's driving.

751
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,119
Speaker 3: He's driving to execute this.

752
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,079
Speaker 2: Joe Peggy ran in lethal weapon right now on technology, like,

753
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:07,760
I am so annoyed, and so I said.

754
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Albody's fucking me over. Come on T Mobile, help me

755
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,599
on here, Team MO will help our guy out. Coming up,

756
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:21,920
we're talking the Clippers summer league roster and our dips,

757
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,360
which I have a feeling I don't know if the

758
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,519
dips made it too Adam's car, but that's perfectly okay.

759
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:28,639
Technology has been his enemy today and he doesn't deserve

760
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:30,719
that trouble, and I don't think he should be burdened

761
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,119
with this. If you're listening to us, to canna a

762
00:39:33,159 --> 00:39:36,400
quick audio break, YouTube, there's no audio breaks. So we're

763
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,800
talking the summer league roster in dips coming up in

764
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,440
three two one.

765
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:46,039
Speaker 3: All right, we're back in Clifton Dips Segment three. I'm

766
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:51,800
introing this one too, and anyways, let's talk to me

767
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,920
about summer league. Charles. Are you how excited are you

768
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,440
about this roster? Who is going to be the MVP?

769
00:39:58,679 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: Wow?

770
00:39:59,239 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 3: What are you feeling?

771
00:39:59,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: Were?

772
00:40:00,599 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: So it starts July eleventh, and we're gonna talk about

773
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,239
the ticket prices after we run through this roster because I.

774
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: Have am tomorrow.

775
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: I have a bone to pick with whoever setting these prices.

776
00:40:10,159 --> 00:40:13,119
So the Clippers summer league roster is Kobe Brown, Jordan Miller,

777
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:17,679
Cam Christy Yannick Niederhauser. You got Kobe Sanders, Trenton Flowers,

778
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:23,320
Patrick Baldwin, Junior tel Fort Poolicitis Xavier since them, Isaiah

779
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,760
Brockington and Juwan Gary. Let's start with those first two names.

780
00:40:28,639 --> 00:40:32,719
Kobe Brown and Jordan Miller should absolutely dominate summer league.

781
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,400
And I'm a little curious as to why they're on

782
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,199
this roster. And that's a compliment to them. Yeah, I

783
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,480
think it's a compliment. But why are they on the.

784
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:46,199
Speaker 3: What's the record for most summer leagues?

785
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: Adam, we're talking the summer league roster Kobe Brown and

786
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,159
Jordan Miller. Good sign they're on the roster. Adam's gone again.

787
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,639
Speaker 3: I'll answer for him, terrible hate both players, Adam, why

788
00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:00,760
would you whoa?

789
00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: Uh? Is it odd they're on the summer league rosters?

790
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: Not really like they you know, they they're looking for

791
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,079
a spot like anybody else.

792
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:13,159
Speaker 1: I think it's fine, but they're too good, Adam or

793
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,360
Jordan Miller and Kobe Brown too good for Summer league.

794
00:41:16,119 --> 00:41:16,719
Summer League.

795
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I predicted they would not be on the roster.

796
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,199
I predict they won't play as much as some of

797
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,360
the other guys. I predict if they're doing this.

798
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,599
Speaker 3: And that's not what you said earlier.

799
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: He's just yeah, we'll answer the question for you. And

800
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,000
you said that they're gonna win MVP.

801
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 6: If they do play heavy minutes, then they should win

802
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,360
Summer League because they made the playoffs last year and

803
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:46,320
almost won it with them third year players who are

804
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,119
twenty five do not typically.

805
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that you might like cap out like

806
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,599
I I. I mean, I that's why I was wondering

807
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:00,159
how long you can play, because I don't know if

808
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:01,760
there's any sort of cap on the amount of years

809
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,639
and you play summer league, especially if you are an

810
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,800
NBA if you you know, are appearing in NBA games.

811
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,320
I mean, not that they've been a lot, but.

812
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: Well, remember that year, was it the Jazz who assembled

813
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,920
like the oldest summer league route like Michael Beasley. I'm

814
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,639
going to type real quick to find it because I

815
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,239
know that annoys me was something to mute, but like

816
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:25,840
that was insane. So I think it's unlimited, right.

817
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I think it is. I had always thought.

818
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,760
I mean, I guess just because you you you don't

819
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,360
usually see it. But generally, I mean I feel like

820
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,159
after one or two years in the league, like you

821
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:41,239
don't usually see these guys in the summer league. I

822
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,880
mean it's different, obviously, depending on the caliber of player

823
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,840
and how much you you do play.

824
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,679
Speaker 1: It was the trail Blazers, Oh yeah, yeah, the twenty

825
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,880
twenty one Trailblazers because this was after Beasley got waved

826
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,559
by the Clippers. Yeah, that was insane. Shout out to

827
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:03,920
the Trailblazers were kind of just making a mockery of

828
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:07,280
summer league that one year. Okay, so those two guys,

829
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,320
theoretically it's a mockery. Why would you have Michael Beasley

830
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,119
on your summer league team? Like that should be investigated

831
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:21,280
for gambling. Cam Christie, I think in terms of you

832
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,159
take away Jordan Miller and Kobe Brown. Cam Christie, I think,

833
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,079
is who I'm most looking forward to seeing some development from.

834
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,320
I already know that Poulo Kidas doesn't really need to develop.

835
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:42,400
Uh So I'm actually fine with that Bully bank baby

836
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,920
that euro is ready to go. Man. Uh No, But

837
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:48,519
Cam Christy, like the shooting is there. We know that

838
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:51,360
he was good in the G League. I say this

839
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,360
all the time, but like, I don't care about G

840
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,079
League stats, and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.

841
00:43:56,199 --> 00:43:59,440
They just have no translation to NBA basketball.

842
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: Not that we've seen at all, at least for the Clippers.

843
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:08,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want Cam Christie to be larger because he's

844
00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:13,559
part of that this class of Clippers draftees who I

845
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:17,440
don't know. He's part of this draft of Clippers players

846
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,599
who just like way way too little for the position.

847
00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:25,239
They kind of want to gotta get fatter, gotta tack

848
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,760
on some masks, gotta eat some of these chips that

849
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,559
we talk about on the pot. Cam Christy should be

850
00:44:33,559 --> 00:44:38,639
fun to watch. Yannick Niederhauser, Will Adam, you came in

851
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:40,840
at the perfect time because we're talking Yanick.

852
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,599
Speaker 3: NBA ready prospect.

853
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: Not NBA ready I am. I think people should watch

854
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,880
the pick and roll defense, Adam Haggle, No, Haggle, that's

855
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,440
what people should be watching for Yanick.

856
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: If that gets better, I think you're spot on instinctly.

857
00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:03,079
He has to show improvements there. Seemed like he was

858
00:45:03,199 --> 00:45:05,559
the second half of the season and pencil the top

859
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:16,199
was so and just to say it, Conan need Houser, Yeah.

860
00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:18,079
Speaker 1: He's also going with uh. Conan on the jersey, He's

861
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:22,119
not going with Niederhauser, which I thought was surprising.

862
00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: Maybe uh is Niederhuser.

863
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: Are you in.

864
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 3: Threat of having to do the horseshoe with that?

865
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: You get to do the horseshoe with that many letters, Dude,

866
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,159
The hor that shade jersey with the horseshoe is so tight,

867
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,239
it's great. Yeah. I would do it just with Bockler,

868
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,199
so it would look really shitty. Space.

869
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 3: It's a very wide, very wide curning.

870
00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna ask Adam about Kim Christy what I

871
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,239
think he still might be frozen. So we're gonna move

872
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,599
on away from the comeback. Patrick Baldwin Jr. Is a

873
00:45:54,599 --> 00:46:00,360
guy I'm interested in. Law Murray had a j bbjuh

874
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:02,840
uh law had had a good tweet. He said it's

875
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,320
a big summer for him six' nine two thirty one

876
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,159
with a seven two, wingspan late first round pick only twenty.

877
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:14,239
Two athletic testing was a mess at his. Combine definitely.

878
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,079
Skilled what does that? Mean just not it's the opposite

879
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:19,119
of y on it because yanix athletic. Stuff at the,

880
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:22,639
combine everyone was like holy. Shit and With Patrick baldwin

881
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,119
it seems like people were, like, ugh you can only

882
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:27,039
jump that, high you can only do the three cone

883
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:30,440
drill that. Fast the opposite of. Me IF i were

884
00:46:32,679 --> 00:46:34,400
IF i were a, PROSPECT i would be so good

885
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,559
at the. Combine but and cost TO gm their job

886
00:46:37,679 --> 00:46:42,679
for sure any. SPORT i nailed the. Test but he's

887
00:46:42,679 --> 00:46:44,719
so good at the. Test but like it's kind of.

888
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,719
Bad But i'd be bringing pizza, This i'd be a good.

889
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,760
Rock we just got confirmation And adam that he is

890
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,920
giving up uh not his fault at. All technology can

891
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,760
be a. Bee we wish him. WELL i also maybe

892
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,840
this is just a huge because he didn't bring. It

893
00:47:02,599 --> 00:47:05,880
do you think That, no probably. Not adam's a good.

894
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,239
Man UH i Hope Pat Patrick Baldwin junior's number two

895
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,639
on my list of players Who i'm excited to hope

896
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,840
there we. Go, Uh i'm excited to see hopefully. Developed

897
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,679
yannick is three just because he's a, rookie So i'm

898
00:47:19,679 --> 00:47:21,880
not really expecting. Much but If Patrick Baldwin. Jr could

899
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:27,719
be good in the sense Of Summer, league not you,

the young guys playing.

902
00:47:32,679 --> 00:47:33,400

00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,159
Speaker 1: Show you're in the crosshairs of the cellular.

911
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,519
Speaker 3: Mob give, it but you gotta give us your Summer

912
00:47:59,559 --> 00:48:02,480
league thought that who you most excited? For you could

913
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:05,960
finish your thought On brown And miller.

914
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: Returning we haven't even talked about.

915
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 4: Yet the Real greek.

916
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,039
Speaker 2: Freak we called that. One we called that happening on this.

917
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 3: Show thanks To chuck's extensive draft, Research.

918
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 4: Chuck you did bring him, up didn't we say.

919
00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:26,039
Speaker 3: That wasn't even on my, Radar he wasn't even on

920
00:48:26,079 --> 00:48:26,480
my top.

921
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:29,639
Speaker 2: Fifty didn't we think he was going to get drafted?

922
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:32,400
Earlier like there was no way we'd be able to get.

923
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 4: Him he goes on.

924
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 2: Draft it's fate that.

925
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: Happened it worked.

926
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,079
Speaker 2: OUT i think aside From Kobe brown And Jordan, Miller

927
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:50,239
Patrick Baldwin, Junior Cam christie And Trenton, flowers those are

928
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,440
the three. Guys of Course i'm watching. Most Trenton flowers

929
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:57,400
is back and with his, athleticism he's one of those

930
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,320
guys that could have one of those all Time Summer league.

931
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,920
HIGHLIGHTS i remember a couple of years, Ago Mussa diabatte

932
00:49:03,079 --> 00:49:06,119
dropped a huge dunk In Summer. League we're all freaking

933
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:08,920
out about. It he could have one of Those Cam

934
00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:11,880
christy three point. Shooting, well he got him up IN G.

935
00:49:12,039 --> 00:49:15,159
League he didn't get him in very. Often compared to

936
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:17,840
how good and how beautiful his shot form. Is that

937
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,280
has to be. Better And Patrick Balwin, junior you, know

938
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,559
his shooting looked pretty good in very limited time at

939
00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:27,840
THE nba. LEVEL i remember that game he came in

940
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,800
and just, like oh, YEAH i knocked him. DOWN i was, LIKE,

941
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,159
whoa that looks different. There and he was a high

942
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,119
draft PICK i think By Golden state a couple of years.

943
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:41,199
Ago So clippers are betting on that. Talent there those

944
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,360
three Guys i'm looking at very.

945
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:48,519
Speaker 1: Closely, Yeah PATRICK, pbj As will has geniusly nicknamed. Him

946
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,519
he hit five threes versus the nets in That december.

947
00:49:52,599 --> 00:49:59,920
Game very. Funny, yeah and then SO i put yah

948
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,960
is like my third most. Excited Trenton flowers is interesting,

949
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,079
too just from an athleticism, level another thing The clippers need.

950
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:12,039
Badly so if he could show some, development Because, adam

951
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:15,480
while you were fighting the good fight against the cellular

952
00:50:15,519 --> 00:50:18,440
and internet, companies what do you Make how much do

953
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:21,719
you Believe Lawrence frank's kind of comments about wanting the

954
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,679
young guys to be in the rotation a little bit

955
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,960
more BECAUSE i like the, sentiment BUT i do not

956
00:50:27,159 --> 00:50:30,440
see a path unless we see someone average fifty in

957
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:30,800
the summer.

958
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 2: LEAGUE i think the formula of having them up in

959
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,840
the bigs more so they can practice with the team

960
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
so that in case of, emergency Coach luke can look

961
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:46,039
down at his bench during a game and, go you know,

962
00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:47,639
what why don't we give him a? Shot somebody else

963
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,519
is in foul trouble hit the. Button there's no real

964
00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:54,800
downside to. THAT i just don't know how often it's

965
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,320
going to. Happen they already don't practice very. Much how

966
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,400
many times are they going to be going going through

967
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,320
something that's not a walkthrough or just a film session

968
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:04,599
during the regular.

969
00:51:04,679 --> 00:51:06,079
Speaker 4: Season there just aren't that many.

970
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 2: Practices BUT i guess take advantage of whatever ones there,

971
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,000
are just in case somebody shines and give them an

972
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,719
opportunity to battle for a roster spot or for minutes

973
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,400
out there against a. VETERAN i don't mind the idea of.

974
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,039
IT i just don't know if it's going to make

975
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,880
a significant difference to what we've been. Seeing and AGAIN

976
00:51:26,199 --> 00:51:29,239
i always ask this, question who are all these guys

977
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,079
you want to talk About, Musa you want to talk

978
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:33,960
About Brandon boston going somewhere else and getting? Minutes, Cool

979
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,079
who are all the guys getting those minutes and contributing

980
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:40,360
to winning that left The? Clippers, like tell me who

981
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:46,079
those guys? Are like those that has not? Happened, okay,

982
00:51:46,159 --> 00:51:48,559
well they didn't draft him and he's been around for a,

983
00:51:48,559 --> 00:51:51,679
bit AND i don't think that was like a draft

984
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,760
casualty like we're talking about with The clippers and their

985
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,880
process of not having young guys rated.

986
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,119
Speaker 4: Much BUT i think that.

987
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: We don't know if it's lack of, development if the

988
00:52:06,119 --> 00:52:10,000
error is with the way coaches for you, guys or

989
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,719
if it's about they just don't have that high of a.

990
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,480
Ceiling and most of these guys are drafted later in

991
00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:17,119
the draft and typically they don't make.

992
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 4: It and that's all that's happening right.

993

995
00:52:24,519 --> 00:52:28,320
dips BECAUSE i recently learned that a cost of A

996
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:34,199
Summer league ticket is seventy two, dollars which blows my

997
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,400
mind a little. Bit will that's way.

is you can really create a symphony of textures going
