I am not sure what Clippers are doing. Unless they are trying to free cap space to bring Lebron in next year. lol That is very much unlikely to happen. Or maybe Paul George after his contract expires in OKC. They were never a true contender in the first place and they just sold their best asset. Who knows maybe they just want to get best for him while they can because he is injured a lot. If that is the case then they got a good deal for him.
At least this is my humble opinion. :)
My thinking is that if the Clippers can get rid of DeAndre and Lou Williams as well, they would easily be a bottom 5 team and compete for a high draft pick. I don't think Griffin is really as good as most people think. He hasn't been able to stay on the court nor win without another star.
If they do so I don't see them getting into playoffs for another 5 years at least. Even if they get low enough to contend for top picks. I think they are going to Paul George next year. It is the only "realistic" thing they can get. If they rebuild with young players it is going to be a long process for them as they have no young base whatsoever right now to add drafts picks too. But, let's wait and see what happens. Either way, I don't see them as contenders or even a playoff team for the next couple years.
I need to stop by more on your profile. There are not very many basketball fans here on Steemit. And, I play professionally in Europe, and of course love basketball. :)
Have a great day, my friend. :)
Brandon & Awakentolife-
I have an NBA Podcast channel & am new to STEEMIT. Been recording on the app anchor for the past several months and built up a following there. Trying to get involved with the community here, If you are ever interested in linking up for a podcast to talk NBA Hoops let me know. Now is a great team with NBA Trade Deadline around the corner!
Hey @toddcast. :)
That is an awesome thing you are doing. We do need more sports talk on Steemit. I would love to join, but I am not sure if I would have the time for it. As I usually have two practices a day and the rest of the time running the group on Steemit plus trying to write some post of mine. But, I can try to find some time. :)
No worries my friend! I would love to still be hooping like that twice a day. If you get some free time hit me back.
Hey @toddcast. That sounds like an awesome idea and I would love to help you out. Why don't you message me on discord or steemit.chat and we can talk individually.
Brandon-
Just created a Steem.it chat name. Still under toddcast, just sent you a message through the platform. Feel free to reach out, things should start getting exciting post Super-Bowl. The trades will be flowing!
