That's what I'm saying. I can't see a move unless it's a blockbuster that would elevate them past a younger GS team.

Even IF that's true that doesn't mean they should blow it up.
Especially if you need to rely on Doc Rivers' "GM" skills to build it back up.

The Clippers could still win this series
Its not easy to acquire assets that would be comparable to arguably the best point guard in the NBA, the 2nd best power forward, and a top 5 center
They need more help

Exactly. you can see it's not a lack of talent, it's all the mental breakdowns they've had this series. Something that only experience can teach. If cap space will be a problem, one thing they could do better is draft smarter (Not sure how many picks they have atm) and develop young talent. That's what SA has been doing the past 15+ years.

So if the Wiz don't win the ECF or Finals within 2 years, you going to be in favor of trading Wall and Beal and starting over?

Its just one of those things for the Clippers. The playoffs are about matchups and it just sucked that they ended up with the Spurs. I don't think that means blow it up, though.

a. keep getting to 2nd round and losing
or
b. blow it up

Like, even I agreed with the notion that this team has reached it's ceiling, I'm from the school of thought to just keep pushing and maybe you get a break and breakthrough.
Because at the end of the day, when you factor in age, ability, you aren't getting better than CP3, Blake, and DJ. I'll just roll the dice with them. You keep retooling around them, but you don't give them away or trade them. Maybe if they were older or declining, but that's a few years away.
Not to mention, they still could win this series.

They are much younger than the Clippers core. Beal is 21. It's not even close to the same situation age wise or conference wise.

c) Keep doing option A and hopefully one of those times something breaks your way.

When teams make the playoffs the further they advance, the larger share of a pool of cash set by the league they receive. Its essentially a bonus, and when a team gets one, EVERYONE is supposed to get a share.

Quick article about it from the 2013 NBA Finals.
But your team mates get to vote in whether or not you get a share and the Mavs voted that he not get one
