Paul George and Kawhi to the Clippers

I think playoff seeding will be like a game of chess this upcoming season. Depending on how well the Clippers and Lakers play, some teams might want to lose at the end of the season just so they don’t have to run into the clippers or lakers in the first round. Either way, the jazz shouldn’t be scared. What I want more than ever (well not as much as I want the jazz to win a ring) is for the clippers and lakers to meet in the first or second round of the playoffs.

This year the Jazz may actually prefer Houston in the first round.

So of you guys must only watch jazz games. Did you see the clippers play last year, with nobody? They’re a great team with a great coach. Add 2 MVP candidates, in their prime. They just went from good, to top 3

MVP AND DPOY.

Think about this: they can finish games against Utah with PG on Conley, Kawhi on DM, and not roll with a traditional point guard at all. How's Utah gonna score? Or anyone else for that matter.

They gave up two players to get two HOF'ers in their primes.

(and picks ofc, but that doesnt make them a worse team). They still got a lot of what they had from last year.

I know. If you read my following posts you'll see that I think they are a top two team in the NBA. Possibly number one. I just don't think they are unstoppable or unbeatable like some people were saying.

The Jazz have options. Snyder could then use Exum's speed against a slow footed defender. Ingles and Rudy pick and roll.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't disagree but if PG and KL cannot bring a championship to LA then their rebuild is difficult without any picks. I know they are all in but there is no chance of drafting a DM or Rudy when you have no picks.

You are right but there are 4 or 5 teams that don't care at all about draft picks. They can get any player they want anytime they want. When they want DM or Rudy they will get them.

Our team can withstand injuries and still win. Clippers aren't made that way. Everyone is so enamored with Kawhi and PG they're ignoring the lack of depth on their roster:

PG: Patrick Beverley
SG: Kawhi Leonard Lou Williams, Landry Shamet, Jerome Robinson, Rodney McGruder
SF Paul George Terance Mann, Maurice Harkless
PF:
C: Montrezl Harrell Mfiondu Kabengele

They will likely bring back Zubac and Green. And I think PG and Kawhi will start at the 3/4. I think their depth chart will look something like...

PG: Patrick Beverley, Jerome Robinson
SG: Landry Shamet, Lou Will, Rodney McGruder
SF: Paul George, Mo Harkless
PF: Kawhi Leonard, JaMychal Green
C: Ivica Zubac, Montrezl Harrell, Mfiondu Kabengele
 
Did anyone read on bleacherreport’s IG that the thunder offered PG and Westbrook for Siakam and some assets?
 
Clippers probably aren't done tooling their roster. They have a ton of wings but no bigs to speak of. I could see them flipping a few people around still.

This really is going to be a fun year regardless of how it goes down. I truly feel that the Jazz FO did every possible thing they could to contend even if it means no banners.
