    Yeah, I really like what Trendon brings to the game as a bench PF in the rotation. High BBIQ, understands his limitations and strengths and a high motor with decent enough size to play the 4.

    Walker...OK

    but Watford is a keeper. He's 22 and could easily develop into a rotation player.

    I thought that was a nice finish inside by Butler... sure the defender was almost a foot shorter than him but it was still nice to see Butler doe something with his length.

    Hmmm…… maybe? The clippers have a ton of talent. They shouldn’t be this bad. They might be the worst clippers TEAM in my lifetime.

    Obviously, whoever this fairly-hard is, they're just yanking our chain. I'm sure it's all in fun

    after watching the tank games, if I had to pick a 'backup' PG off of this roster for next season, I'd have a tough time deciding between Mays and Harrison. I really like Harrison's speed and athleticism

    Is Kevin Knox a keeper? He's certainly impressed me more than Cam Reddish. He's BIG, too.

    I remember when the Clips played in the Sports Arena (literally walking distance from where I was at school) and their best player was Pooh Richardson... And I actually went to a Clippers-Wolves game because Terry Porter was playing for the Wolves.

    Remember Shaedon early season, he's just standing in the corner not doing much. Boy he's playing like a legit starter now. Simply amazing

    Unless there is a no brainer offer, I’m certain this team would be happy to trot out Dame/Ant/Shae as a trio and hope not to be last in defense again.

    As I said above, if it was a choice of keeping one out of him and Reddish, I'd take Knox in a second.

    Amazing take... not the worst I've seen in my lifetime, but in the running.

    The Clippers need a name change. Their color scheme & uniforms have nothing to do with majestic sailing ships. Name made sense in San Diego, but not LA. Their uniforms have that kinda LA street art style. Maybe LA Cruisers . Doesn't Leonard have a custom low rider.
