Clips have been a fun team I've kept an eye on since the Blake deal. They've got a similar forward situation too considering how little the team has been together. Need more Mo Harrell, and should get Willie Reed back, he was fun. Yet they can't really play their "best" forwards together even if healthy against a lot of teams.
The Clips guard situation is slightly misleading from a numbers standpoint because of their weird situations, Bradley has expired and I don't imagine they resign him, Beverley is coming off a season where he only played 11 games. Both Gilgeous-Alexander and Robinson are 6-5/6-6ish so they can play next to Lou Williams or Beverley or even Bradley if he did come back.
Though I guess Rivers is opting in because he'll get almost $13 million this year. Milos won't be back for a variety of reasons including some mutual ones from what I'm reading.
I actually kinda liked Tyrone Wallace, good defender plus 6-5, shame he can't shoot and is already 24. I imagine they dump Evans before his contract gets guaranteed...Thornwell's kinda a weird player but he's probably more valuable if he doesn't have to log so many minutes and is in spot duty for threes and dees, plus he's got one of those non-guaranteed deals too.
So until Doc starts trying to make Wesley Johnson a two guard yet again, they've really only got a five guard rotation with two rookies in it, and they're kinda all combo guards in style. Plus Thornwell who ideally seems like he somehow needs to become a SF legitimately. Maybe Boban could lend him a couple inches and 10-15lbs. In any case it seems easier to juggle than that front court situation, especially if DeAndre bolts. Maybe they should trade Danilo for Parsons and restage the hostage situation in reverse.
