Gallo is a good player, but he's not making 20m for a contending type team. I'd really prefer if we could deal him for some other stuff even if it has to be midseason. Gallo/Shamet/Picks for AD would be the most ideal. |

Of our free agents, I would like to sign Beverley (I don't think $7M is enough), Green (one of our smaller exceptions), and Zubac (Zu is an RFA and I doubt he gets a big offer). I think Temple on a one year vet min would be fine as well, but wait until we've finished other signings before doing that. Let Chandler walk. I agree we can cut Thornwell and Wallace.

Trading Gallinari for space isn't an issue of a contending team I think. I doubt any contending teams have that kind of cap space and would be looking for a guy like him. He's more of a mid market team looking to bring someone in who can play strong ball as a starter without being a star. Like Hawks, Kings, maybe Pacers, or someone like them with cap space and no real hope of contending for the championship next year but do have a shot at the playoffs. |

would you guys want to trade for Paul George.
Can we do a trade like Gallo, Jerome, and 1st and 2nd round picks for PG. Would OKC accept that especially if they want to blow it up and get cap relief.
What do you guys think

Teams might be desperate for Gallo’s expiring contract. No need to throw in the Shamet’s and Rome’s. Let’s keep them and develope them. Teams are also desperate for wing and perimeter shooters. We have 2 on rookie deals. Don’t trade those guys. I’m glad some of you don’t work for the Clippers front office.

What do you guys think I think we might be able to get him for just Gallo and one of our 1st’s. Gallo’s expiring deal would look really nice for a team in such cap space hell like OKC. No way in hell they trade Russ. |

No way in hell they trade Russ. They are not going to salary dump George. They can get better than an expiring for him, and will. Which is why I said Gallinari, Robinson, a S&T Zubac, two firsts, and two seconds. That's a much more realistic scenario I think. |

Moving Gallo in a S&T for one of our two big free agents would make a ton of sense for both sides. Like sending him to TOR for Kawhi.

The key pieces we already have to build a championship team are Shai, Shamet, Robinson, Zubac, Lou, Montrezl, Green, and Beverley. Swap Durant for Gallo and let the youth develop and you don't need a second big name free agent. I think two big free agents = 66% of your cap space and it kills your chances of keeping all the support players you need to win a championship. And it messes up the chemistry having two guys who need 20 shots a game. Hopefully, Shai is that second big star that we need and him and Shamet together need those 20 to 25 shots per game. And I think Robinson could be a nice rotation player and play with Lou and Montrezl on the second unit. Bring in big names they better be damn good or guys will get jealous of their big salaries and it will destroy team chemistry.

Not sure why people are so quick to give up on Shamet and Robinson. Robinson has really come to his own in this post season. Our biggest gripe about him was his confidence. I don’t think that’s much of an issue any more. Shamet has been pretty limited on offense which I credit the Warriors scouting report. Not one person has mentioned his defense on Curry. When Temple isn’t stuck to him, it’s Shamet.

I know that's controversial, but his defense this series tells me he might be the better player of the two. You're absolutely right on that. He's been locking down Curry. Curry had three turnovers yesterday, and all three were when Shamet was guarding him well. I like what I've seen from Robinson, I just think he might be redundant with Shamet. Not that having multiple shooters is a bad thing of course, but of the two he's the more expendable. And packaging Gallinari for a star probably requires adding one of our rookies. Of the three rookies, Robinson just seems the most expendable to me. |

If there’s an offer you can’t refuse than pull the trigger, otherwise, you can have JRob come off the bench and give Shamet some rest. I’m happy to see him play some quality mi utes this series. I think he’ll make major strides in his confidence moving forward. |

Somehow he ranked Robinson higher than guys like Zubac, Chandler, Wallace and Thornwell. Which is the right decision, it's just surprising to me that Doc Rivers made that choice. And he's not playing Robinson in garbage time - the only garbage time we've had was when Zubac played when we were being blown out. Robinson's held his own in real minutes, in the playoffs, against the reigning NBA champions. That should help his confidence a lot. |

Vegas has the Clippers with best odds to sign Leonard this off-season if he changes teams.
Knicks have best odds to sign Durant with Clippers as number 2 if he changes teams.

Where did Vegas have Golden State the last time Durant switched teams? If I remember right, everyone expected him to stay in OKC and Golden State was not expected. |
