Obviously, this trade wouldnt be judged strictly on the time Paul was out though. So why would you assume that the Clips would become an ISO team with Melo when Paul gets back?
I wouldn't. But ISO ball in the West for 5 weeks will be enough to land them out of the playoffs. And considering the West has LMA, Love, Duncan, Ibaka, etc. playing PF, to say there would be no defensive drop off from Blake to Melo is kind of crazy.
