Wall if in good health is a solid pickup for the clipset. A grandmaster chess move compared to what the Lakers did to get Russ

Since the Clippers solid at PG now, they should let the Suns have Jason Preston for Cam Payne

I’m willing to package Mann and Boston jr with Morris for a center. We can’t play all those guys anyway.

If it’s anything other than the minimum, I don’t like it.
You definitively close the door on Hartenstein. Of course it’s possible he’s gets a great offer & you lose him anyway. But even looking beyond that, when it’s time to win a title Kawhi/PG will be on the ball for 40 minutes & Wall has never been asked to play 2 guard in his life. His jumper still needs work & he doesn’t cut or do anything off the ball.
Tall order asking him to learn a new position for a title contender when he’s barely played recently.

Seems like after this season Nets will be done with Kyrie & KD. If they don’t reach finals, what a let down it’s been

He’s played nearly 430 games in that span, so you’re talking 2 attempts per game. Low volume, especially today. Tough to extrapolate
In a playoff series the better defenses are going to make him triple that & will live with the results. He likely won’t even be in any sort of rhythm either given the new role.
I like Wall, so I truly wish him the best of luck.

Cheap, vertical lob threat so the team doesn't have to go small so often.

don't think their closing lineup will involve a big
wall is a solid pickup. it lightens the load on Reggie and gives him a breather. if he can give 10-15 minutes a gm and fill in when PG13 is off, it will be a plus for LAC. team is deep, just needs their main guys healthy come postseason. low risk move

Seems like the Clips had enough to give what they already have a chance, but we'll see how this goes.

They run Paul with the 2nd unit when healthy.
Between PG / Terance / Amir / Reggie, they were just fine in that department.
Taking the ball out of those guys hands for this version of Wall, ain't it. They've never had a problem being a top 10 offense with Kawhi / Paul / Reggie on the floor. 'Point guard' has supplanted centers as being the most overrated position in the league. Allocating actual resources for that position when the pg can't shoot is just not the wave.
I trust Ty though. He'll bench him if it doesn't work.

Wall still has the vision, can grease the offense and bend a defense. So that's beneficial. Just gotta sign a center for the minimum or trade Kennard for one (Holmes?).

Don’t wanna turn into
Brosizzlew30.23
but provided their stars play like they did in year 2 and not year 1, they have more than enough on the perimeter to get it done.They needed another 5. Re-sign Hart or if you lose him grab someone else with the full exception.

LAC could use a diff type of point guard than Reggie but not sure if Wall is necessarily the answer there

Mavs should still be all over Hart.
I want him on the Mavs bad.

I get wall for the regular season but nothing matters if Kawhi/PG aren’t healthy or if they can’t figure out how to compliment each other in the same game
Reggie is really the perfect PG for them

Not to mention, you're using real resources on a player who (at least at the moment it appears) will not be in the Clippers playoff rotation.
It's a gamble. Clips have done outstanding with Nico, Reggie on the reclamation side of things but idk, older guards who rely on athleticism who can't shoot? I was always down for Wall for the vet min but this? Ehhh.
Right when Kawhi tore his ACL, he and PG had figured it out. Cracking the Mavs and Jazz skulls wide open. Reggie provides jusssttt enough downhill juice while being a fantastic CAS guy. They looked their best when this dynamic was at work

He’ll definitely be a huge asset when they’re load managing Kawhi & PG in the regular season.

said, gotta package a few of those perimeter guys for a big. They have until February to do that.- Status
