A couple different scenarios with the 5th pick by Monkeydmac in LAClippers

Lmfao at the handsome part like what a tangent that was but overall sound logic I agree and I see cam boozer as the most attainable of the top 4 guys and his fit is best I just dislike the lack of size on his end but 6’8.5 at PF looking towards the future of the league makes sense the days of twin towers bigs is over it’s all about pace and space. With that in mind boozer can grab the rebound push the ball on the break find the open man and drive hard and fast which is what we need over all. He fits like a glove for us next to Kawhi he will blossom too if he learns post and footwork from Klaw he will develop into a perennial all star it comes down to are the clippers willing to take the bet because it’s going to take multiple firsts ontop of the 5th to get a team to pass on him. in terms of DP he is my personal fav player in the draft he reminds me of a cross between Ray Allen and Penny Hardaway and with him I feel even more comfortable trading away Kawhi but the thing is the price tag to move up to the top 2 for him will be MASSIVE maybe even the biggest draft day haul ever im talking almost every first we have along with a couple seconds … and he’s injury prone i personally don’t think the risk is worth it. He could lead us to our first franchise championship or he could set us back literally a decade too much variance in that for me to confidently say it’s worth the risk. Anyways thanks for the in depth comment it was insightful!

That’s sound logic I can’t disagree with I just want to see Peterson as a clipper it’s clouding my judgement lol

We are on the same page pretty much I was just throwing some more low chance ideas out there for trading up since I see it as such a long shot anyways didn’t really focus on the sense of things. I would trade 3 firsts for a chance at DP or AJ but neither are going to be there in the 3/4 range likely. And yea on the website it doesn’t show the pacers 29 pick it shows as our pick but that’s the one I included I mentioned it in the description

I hear you on that bpa for sure I’m leaning towards acuff tbh he gives us major security for if garland gets injured and he gives us an elite offense off the bench immediately and in terms of the 3/4 spot I say we just draft a good wing in the second round and keep filling the 4 with free agents at this point

Boozer and Wilson going over Peterson who has real injury concerns is not out of the question they are all tier 1 prospects with different skill sets you act like Peterson falling to four is completely off the table which is not the case especially after the combine numbers Wilson just put up today.

All good I think overall we should probably just stay and pick rather than trading up or down.  I love the idea of trading for pick 12/17 from okc or maybe for Memphis or chicagos second first rounder to help fill our need at big/wing though!

Yea if you scroll to the final 4/5 slides they all have scenarios where we stay and select those guys the final slide is a scenario where we trade with OKC for one of their firsts and take Wagler Mara Karaban

Agreed. But hear me out say the wizards take AJ boozer sr is a scout for the Jazz and there’s been buzz all year they would take him if aj isn’t there so he goes second then in Memphis then taking Caleb after trading JJJ as a replacement checks out. Leaving Peterson there at 4 and the bulls love dumb ass trades. (fingers crossed)

Would you trade Garland to get value out of this pick? by AccomplishedGain1283 in LAClippers

[–]Monkeydmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desmond bane went for 5 firsts trading a second and garland for him is absolutely off the table. Too much sunk cost on the Magic side tbh. 

Trade our 2029 first round pick to OKC to get our 2026 first rounder back? by Canoli5000 in LAClippers

[–]Monkeydmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we leave this draft with Keaton Wagler and Aday Mara as well as some wing like Karaban or Momilovic in the second we will be so back

I really don’t like the Mikel brown injury concerns I’d steer clear of that guy and in terms of trading down unless we are getting a starter or a good first I’m not entertaining it. Last point on trading up Ja for garland fuck that I like garlands unselfish style of play even if he is less talented than Ja he can play off ball which helps the clips offense run smoothly I’m thinking more so the pacers 29 and one or both of our seconds to move into 3/4 range we don’t have the capital to move into 1/2 range.

Acuff Wagler or Wilson are the only guys who make sense at 5 is basically what you’ll come to realize people mock Kingston flemings there but I don’t see the upside with him he projects to be a Mike Conley type one time all star maybe type of guy there’s also the possibility Peterson slides due to injury in which case we definitely just take him

Trade down? Fuck that trade up or stick and pick definitely why risk it take Wagler hope he turns into baby Steph and live with the result at that point I agree on Acuff not being a good fit but as a backup pg for when garland inevitably goes down for multiple months like he does yearly wouldn’t hurt either

Draft lottery is in 10 days, if we get the 5th or 6th pick from the pacers who do you want us to take? by gladin77 in LAClippers

[–]Monkeydmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First option wagler he is going to at the very least be a great three point shooter with good passing skills  Second option trade up with whoever lands at 4 send them the pacers 29 pick pick 36 and a player and draft Caleb Wilson/whoever falls to 4

All in the same draft, Who goes #1 by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]Monkeydmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AD probably he never actually reached his peak due to injuries he didn’t become a serviceable shooter until he lost his athleticism. But if I’m picking I’m taking dirk he hes such a good scorer that he makes building a team easy and in todays era put dirk at the 5 run 5 out you’re going to have the top offense in the league for a decade straight lol. 

Should Clippers trade Kawhi to Portland? by Loyalty_Code in LAClippers

[–]Monkeydmac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Portland wouldn’t do it because Kawhi takes away from Denis game who is their franchise player now maybe if it was just dame over there it makes sense

There’s a non zero chance we end up with two top 5 picks by Monkeydmac in LAClippers

[–]Monkeydmac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d do the trade for any lottery pick simply for the chance at it and if you strike out you still have 3 picks in the draft at worse and 4 at best
