CLIPPERS FUTURE
Since getting the 5th pick I have seen a lot of us debating which rout should the clippers take for the future. Me personally im over the Kawhi era and believe that we should sell high on him, after the season that he had many DESPERATE teams will be calling to see the availability of kawhi, and if the offer is RIGHT, im willing to move on from him.
I know we dont control our pick next season but that shouldn't prevent us from making the right move for our future. Most of the modern superteams are built through the draft and we should get those assest for the next era of clippers ball while we can. The front Ofiice plan is to lure a superstar/all star during the 2027 offseason and we should be preparing this team for that.
I know none of us wants to give Okc a top 5 pick but i don't trading kawhi doesnt automatically makes us a bottom team in the league, before the kawhi we were a 50 win team with a team full of roleplayers, frick it, we have had winning seasons without Kawhi and PG DURING the kawhi era, with the right off season, drafting the right players and the signing the right player we can still be competitive without having a top 10 player in our team.
And for all the old doomers that believe that if we have a bad year we will become the next sacramento kings and wont make the playoffs again or that nobody will come to this team, Wake up! This isn't the 90s or the earky 2000s clippers anymore, players want to be here and they will come here one way or another. If we cant get a giannis type of player during the 2027 off season we will get tier 2 star or even a tier 3 but we will never run out of options because we're the LA Clippers and players want to play for this team.
