Remember that these are professionals. They are basketball players but still, they are professionals. They know how to separate professional from personal issues.

They actually run out of options going after Kawhi. That was an all-in bet to get Kawhi, unfortunately, Kawhi played them. Even after that, they still got some decent players. They can still be a contender if they can blend well together.

Someone is missing on the list and it's Carmelo Anthony  . He's been spotted training hard in the hope that he could find a team next season and with things going around i think the Lakers is the most probable team that could land him and why not, they are friends with Lebron. I just hope that he would swallow his pride of not being on the starter list.

Clippers didn't become playoff contenders, they were already in playoffs, they took warriors without injuries to 6 games, nobody played the uninjured warriors except clippers.

With this two trades they became championship contenders for sure, I am not saying they will be champions but at least we know for a fact that there is no team that can easily beat clippers, yeah it can go to 7 games or 6 games or have a very difficult over time games and what not and eventually clippers may lose, that is a possibility but nobody can sweep clippers. Lakers between got bunch of great additions, rondo is back, cook came in, cousins came and of course my favorite ; Danny green is in Lakers now. Considering they missed out on Kawhi and had to wait a lot during free agency, it was a great roster fill up by them.

There are rumors that Russell Westbrook is heading to the Houston Rockets and seeing the situation I would say it's possible to happen. Like Westbrook and Paul George Chris Paul and Harden does not have the best of relationship after the season as ended and I could see that one of them (most likely Paul) would be traded away as the main centerpiece of the trade in exchange for Westbrook. This might not be the only power change we will see in the West and Houston might be another improved contender for the Championship.

Rondo and AD and Cousins used play good together. So now they are back, this time with the Lakers. So there are no adjustments. Then adding Green and Cook, yes, that already a potent team right now. This is really a upgrade from last year and the players they added have the experience now.

Yep, sure they can and this is totally awesome to see a superstar comes to them and that's not just a superstar but the recently crowned MVP just won the championships.

Many will eye for Clippers for this season.

I also think that they will be having a good tandem. I never heard any issues of PG13 with his former teammates and wherever he goes, he's good and intact.

We will see their tandem soon, I can't wait as everyone starts to take their eye on their preferred teams.

I don't even know if this two are aiming for the finals. Statistics can boost their advertisement to other teams, they will be forever in the NBA records but how about their team? I am so annoyed on how Westbrook play, and wehn someone pointed out that Harden is also like this I was pissed. Jeremy Lin has his championship, while these two is still playing for their records.

That's good destination for him, playing along with Butler would make them a good duo as Butler does not demand the ball all the time but this guy can make a difference when he is called to make a play especially when Westbrook is shooting 5-25  or even worst.

Both melodramatic players will clash there. It aint going to be a good team.
Wherever Westbrook will be it wont be a good team. He better stay with OKC until his retirement. Preserving him will be the best move their management they will make. More like a Dirk thing.


That I am waiting for, they need shooters and when we say "shooters" Carmelo will be the one of the best out there but just lacking with his defense.
Take him to the 2nd team and let it be led by him.
That way while Lebron and AD are resting there will still be chances that a lead could be preserved too.
