Terance Mann is crossing his fingers that free agent Paul George will re-sign with the Clippers. During an interview on FanDuel’s Run It Back program (video link), Mann said, “I hope (he returns), but you never know with this free agency stuff. We had a great chance this year if we were healthy, so I hope we get him back.”
We have more on the Clippers:
- When James Harden makes his personal choice for greatest player of all-time, he looks at Los Angeles’ other team and its late great star. “I mean, there was only one person who made me love, I mean fall in love with the game, and that’s Kobe Bryant,” Harden told Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype. “Being from L.A. and being a Lakers fan watching him grow up and win several championships and his passion and love and what he did for the game of basketball, I think the world, you know, feels the same way, but that’s why I started playing basketball. The skill set and things that I’ve learned, I kind of picked up on my own, but as far as falling in love with the game, it’s definitely been Kobe.”
- In a YouTube video, Yossi Gozlan addresses a number of Clippers topics, including what might happen with George and Harden in free agency and the team’s payroll constraints. Ultimately, Gozlan believes it’s possible the Clippers could slowly break apart if the team continues to fall short of expectations.
- In a written breakdown of the Clippers’ offseason outlook for Spotrac, Keith Smith anticipates the roster will look much the same if the Clippers are able to re-sign George and Harden. The second tax apron will make it difficult for them to make trades and to do any other roster retooling.
My guess is PG leaves the Clippers in FA.
I think Terrance Mann is the likely replacement at SG, he offers a lot less scoring but is great defensively and does all the little things well.
So what Id try do is then trade Powell, Bones and a first for Kyle Kuzma or someone to play PF and be the third option outside of Harden and Kawhi.
Harden Mann Kawhi Kuzma Zubac
Russ Coffey … Tucker …
… Brown … Jones …
Then just fill out the rotation with minimum deals after that.
So a lot worse. That team… 8th, 9th or 10th in the west.
I disagree, yeah it might be worse but I think no matter what it’s playoff bound.
Harden is still a 20-10 guy, Kawhi when fit is still one of the best if not the best 2 way player in the league. Kuzma would again go back to being a great third option. Zu is a beast, T Mann I think fits perfectly amongst the starters. But really lacking in depth
It is amazing, in this day and age, how much love and adoration is directed toward a rapist.
Think kobe needed to rape someone? I can’t stand the lakers and everything they stand for but I’m going with give me money on that one (extortion). Crap husband and dad though. Not cool putting your family through that infront of the world.
Lmao. You hate the Lakers so much you said Kobe was a bad dad. All of your opinions can go right in the trash ahahahahahah
You think Ben Gordon needed to steal a woman’s phone and money? You think Barry Bonds needed to cheat? It’s the challenge. The kick.
Clipper players are starting to get old it may be time to break up the core group.
