Clippers need an answer when teams throw out huge lineups (alien.top)

I'm honestly fairly hopeful as a Clippers fan. I wouldn't trust my feeling tho, as I will be hopeful regardless, but I see a lot to like this season already without Harden. And honestly this isn't in panic to the loss that just happened, that was a good game and there were a lot of mitigating circumstances there to really make a judgement call. Not to mention working PJ tucker in and also missing one James Harden who will do...something good I hope.

But the Clippers really didn't have an answer when the Lakers went huge. and I mean literally, they just had to take it in the third after the lakers were in the bonus.

Batum and Covington will be missed big time, you guys didn't need Harden. You guys need to get Robert Williams somehow.

Think bob myers had a good point that his playmaking/ball handling will help a lot. If they could have harden or williams, you take harden, especially considering they have injury problems and harden would do a much better job stepping into a bigger role when they go down as opposed to williams (who also has injury problems)

Yep. Not to mention, trying to get a serviceable enough small ball center for 15-20MPG is much, much easier than getting a guy like Harden.

If and when it becomes clear that a guy like Norm is redundant, wouldn’t mind seeing what we can get for him even if they’re not as good of an overall player. I really wanted John Collins on this squad, but a player like him would be perfect.
