You don't need money when you sign knuckleheads and grandpas. Just weed and donuts.

I hope the Clippers and Spurs meet in Round 1 again. I will take a Round 2 as well.
Clippers > Spurs in Round 1 or 2
Clippers aren't scared anymore.

The bench should be good enough to not be a detriment. With that starting lineup (adding PP) they should be fine
Of course Spurs, Thunder and Warriors are the huge threats but the Clippers aren't too far behind them depth wise

So we gonna act like the Clippers had max money this off season to better than what they've done so far? I guess they were supposed to go on an imaginary spending spree and sign LMA, Monroe, Love, Monta, and Rondo too.

Not at all, I actually think the clippers are right there now with them from a roster perspective.
I'm just saying that this doesn't pencil the clips into the wcf or a championship or anything.
Health, luck, match ups, all will come into play.
We've definitely put ourselves in a position to compete and have a shot at a ring though, that's for sure.

JA, I have no faith in the oldest team in the league, getting even older somehow. 
You expect all of them to last another 9 month season, in the West, and the team that beat them in round one has improved just as well.
Not to mention GS and OKC.
Spurs gonna win 3 rounds in the West vs LAC, GS, OKC, Memphis, and Houston?
Naw.
They'll be in the mix, in the hunt, but ultimately come up short. All the younger/faster teams gonna wear them out.

Lance going to have a repeat of his worst season ever? I don't think so
Crawford not going to be depended upon as much, his FG% should improve
Smith played exceptional in the playoffs, one of the best bench players of the postseason.. even when he had to start he played HUGE
Rivers is still Rivers I'll give you that
Johnson should offer defense
Aldrich should offer defense
Dawson could be a spark
When you have a starting lineup of CP3/JJ/PP/Blake/DJ can make that bench look more than respectable

agreed clippers got way better. def above the spurs on paper pierce should come off the bench . better off playing with the 2nd unit imo
still got no faith in them for a chip. they the clippers, theyll find a way to f it up somehow.

Clippers got better given the cap situation they were in. Good offseason. Kudos to Callie Rivers for making it happen with her sturdy chin.

They have enough depth that he shouldn't need to play more than 28 per game.

From a roster construction standpoint, Dawson and Pierce are better playing 4 in a small ball lineup right now. Some may argue that Johnson is too. Problem is if you play Blake at the 5 then you take your best rim protector off the court, and the guy who you just promised a bigger role and gave 20 mill per year to. The depth is there for sure, but I just don't get what Doc really was doing.
Would've been better off finding a wing defender or shooter from the bench. Dawson basically needs a redshirt year to work on 3 and D, they really have no room for him as a 4.
Didn't even think about Aldrich and Baby. The lineup sounds good in terms of names but I'm just not buying the actual construction.

He'll start but probably not play many minutes
Lance and Johnson should absorb a lot of minutes

You don't get what Doc was doing? He had ZERO to work with and filled out his roster with all upgrades
Come on fam, what else you want him to do
He upgraded the 3. He upgraded the bench. He kept DJ

It's called making a more than reasonable move with little to no money.
$1.5 million though, yea, I see exactly what he was doing if JSmith somehow brought nothing to the table. However, he brings a lot, and he's $1.5. Yea, no brainer
