am i the only one that think OKC would've been better off not matching the offer sheet? Ibaka/Adams is a much better frontcourt for what they need...Russ & KD provide more than enough offense.
Kanter was historically bad on defense last season...

i don't think clippers got any good trade offers for Crawford. Very hard for a declining player who is a 35

I'm already knowing man. There's very few positives at this point. I just wish we would find a way to get rid of him
we literally have no use, and imo are better without him

I like Kanter but I feel the same way, Ibaka/Adams is definitely better for OKC, there's too much evidence that Kanter hurts more than he helps.

I think they should've let him walk too. Offensively he's nice to have but you can't be a bigman and be that big of a liability on defense. It's unacceptable.

Man JC saved yall so many times over that last couple years now u got no use for him?I'm already knowing man. There's very few positives at this point. I just wish we would find a way to get rid of himwe literally have no use, and imo are better without him
He still is better than Rivers at age 35

It's not about keeping Kanter for production it's about not letting as asset walk for nothing.

Extra cap space isn't exactly nothing. But I get what you're saying.

Love JC but it's very apparent his good days are over. Why don't you think anyone is trying to get him from the clips? Good teammate. Last year of a very cheap deal. He's done. Would be ecstatic if we traded him for size.

Kanters deal will make sense when KD leaves.

Of course OKC matched..... as they should have
1) shows Russ/KD that they are willing to pay the luxury in order to win now...
2) since when does having a 23 yr old legit 7ft center who can give you 20 & 10 any given night hurt? he may be bad on defense but he provides a guy who can dominate a smaller Center in the post offensively & draw fouls
3) if Adams develops even more making Kanter expendable... its not gonna be hard to trade a good offensive center wh hasnt hit his prime yet... they can get back some nice assets for a guy like Kanter

They over the cap pretty much with him or without him.
They aren't gaining or losing either way
If he doesn't work out he's easily tradable

This is overblown. He really hasn't and the few times that he's saved us is outnumbered by the amount of times he's killed us with his poor defense, hijacking of the offense, and long jumpers. He was almost unplayable this past postseason man.
You almost can't play him because he needs the ball to be "effective" and isn't good enough to have that much of a responsibility within the offense anymore. And all of that is second to how bad he is defensively. If you are trying win a championship he can't be a key cog in the rotation.
Rivers is better for the clippers moving forward. Younger, can actually get to the rim, and is a good spot up shooter

How many people here truly think KD is gonna leave? I don't think he has it in him. We talmbout the type of ***** who refers to his opposition as "Mr"
Now Russ I could see bolting. Russ got that Mamba blood in him, he cut from a different cloth.

This and kanter can score in the post something both them dudes can't. They can try to hide him on defense when he is on the floor

Clipper role players will always get slandered
Barnes, Collison, Dudley, Crawford, Caron Butler... the list goes on. Nobody ever been good enough to get them past the 2nd round
