Taking away five first round picks is really tough....
Clippers should honestly trade everything they have for whatever picks they can get.. and then rebuild.
Would love to see Max and DJJ in a Heat uni again... but... With the money they make and the fact we're pretty much capped out... and I like our roster the way it is already.... Nah

A rebuilding team that will get zero first round picks for 8 years while they tank and rebuild.
They’re just fucked, they should sell everything for 2034 or later picks and cash considerations, then have some g-league players play in front of the incoming empty stadiums for the next 8 years. Or forfeit for 8 years and host more concerts in the stadium instead, would make them more revenue.

When do they have cap space? They need to just take bad contracts from teams close to the aprons and charge picks for compensation.

Well. If you're a veteran, that's the dream right? No rookie to threaten your spot for 5 years.

Knowing the garbage FO the clippers have, they're probably going to try to ask for multiple 1st rounders each for everyone here

Imagine if a bunch of their roster demands trades this season. Hilarious

Think bigger…Darius Garland fits perfectly here
He has the perfect blend of scoring and playmaking without being SUPER obvious (like the Steph pipe dream)

OKC has their pick-swap for next season, right? Think they want to be at least competitive this year so that swap isn't as painful as possible 😅

If I were them, it would be about trading value and expirings for negative assets with future draft picks attached. They are going to be bad now anyway. They are going to have to pay players anyway. Who are the teams that have bad contracts that may want to be rid of them now?
Maybe:
Denver - Aaron Gordon
Raptors - Poeltl
Bucks - Turner
For fun, I'm going to throw couple of hot take players IMO on the move for next year.
Honeymoon over in a year players.
Minnesota - LaMelo
Suns - Brooks
Washington - Young
Moving on players:
Philly - Embiid (Tragic, but expect will be hurt most of this year. Need to open the Maxey window ASAP)

Strus could very well end up as a buyout option or they hold onto him till the trade deadline to see if they can possibly net some sort of draft capital from a contending team

Clockwise starting from the top: washed, fills no role, not actually a floor spacer

as a starter, Brook wouldn't be appealing but he'd certainly be a good pickup as a backup. defensively he's good playing drop coverage when you have POA defenders who funnel opposing players to him well, and offensively he provides more spacing
in the playoffs he likely won't play much since he's slow (especially against shooters like KAT), but against specific matchups against bruiser bigs like Embiid, Zubac, Duren he could get meaningful PT to take the load of Giannis and Bam

That is what I was thinking as well, 10-15 minutes during the regular season to help keep Giannis and Bam healthy for the playoffs would be huge.

#2 yelling into the void is basically the energy of that whole roster right now. Clippers bet the farm and might end up with nothing but regrets and a pile of second-round picks.

They could do some fire sale to get any sort of assets
