How long will CLIPS RULE the NBA?

[StrongLurk]

Next 4-5 years? They have a stacked, young team who will fit great and be defensive juggernauts as well.

Until George gets seriously hurt again. A couple of years.

Kuzma is better 3rd wheel also..

Until KD comes back

They have incredible depth to back up Kawhi and George.

Beverly
Williams
Shamet
Zubac
Harrell


That amount of depth is comparable, if not better, then the depth that the Warriors had for the first few years of their dynasty.

Clips are gonna roll over the league.

Lou Williams AND Montrez Harrel are better than Kuzma

You were probably hyping up last years Lakers as a WCF team too...

[NBASTATMAN]

They have at least 3-4 seasons barring injury.. Problem with Kawhi is he gets injured a lot.. He looked tired in the playoffs and he missed 22 games during the season without a true injury..

The CLIPs can win without Kawhi though.. They proved they could win 50 games last season so they will let him rest 10-15 games in my opinion ..

Lou Williams and Montrezl shit on Kuzma FOH

They'll be a good defensive team. Offensively they're not going to be as impressive as you may think. In PG and Leonard you have two high volume scorers who are at best average to below average playmakers relative to your protypical desired skills as star SFs. PG is the better of the two in that regard. Their usage is going to replace some of those guys who had breakout seasons and contributed to the Clips' overachieving season. Lou Williams, Beverley, Harrell are all going to see fewer shot attempts. Your best stretch 4/5 shooter is gone. PG and Leonard are going to have issues trying to fit in together.

Wade and Lebron struggled playing together their first year in Miami and both of them are far better playmakers than either PG or Leonard. Not at all sold on PG's "greatness". After ditching the cancer that was Carmelo, OKC still only won 49 games with he and Chuckbrook. Perhaps that's more an indictment of OKC's style of play allowing Chuckbrook to play his empty statpadding style which doesn't translate to victories. But in any case, the Pacers won 6 more games after they replaced PG with Oladipo. The Thunder only won +1 and +2 games from PGs addition.

Kawhi got traded for an inferior player to a team that had won 59 games. He's always played in a good system where he had quality playmakers around him. He won't have that luxury in LA.

This is a clear cut case of the sports and gambling media mindlessly drumming up hype. The West is a mine field again. You have 5 teams capable of winning 50+ games in the Nugz, Lakers, Clippers, Rockets, and now the Jazz.

PG is overrated. Pacers were +6 wins after replacing him with Oladipo.
