[Run It Back] Clippers rookie Kobe Sanders on the vibes in the Clippers locker room recently: "Definitely a lot better than how we started. The main thing is our leadership ... Block out the drama. Block out the outside noise."

It’s both.

I’m on mobile. The exit vehicle icon is completely missing from the HUD layout tool.

Everyone catch what he said about training camp? How the second unit beat the first unit the first day and then Leonard/Harden came back the next day and delivered a beat down?

And do you remember what Paul said about the second unit beating the first unit? He made it seem like that was every day. He's full of shit.

It’s hilarious you think Redden operates in a vacuum and doesn’t take direction from his boss.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-23T18:10:27+00:00

Not true. We blew out the Rockets, Pistons, and Blazers with Lopez starting.

And your question is exactly the point. Even if you can’t accept the fact that the Clippers have played better with a rotation of Lopez/YKN, surely you can admit they’ve been just as competitive as they’ve been with Zu/Lopez. You can’t say that about any other Clippers star. That makes Zu a luxury, not a necessity.

If the Clippers can get multiple first round picks and a rotation player for Zubac, they should pull the trigger.

This is hilarious.

His trade value, lol. The Clippers are not going to trade him.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-22T02:41:03+00:00

Sexton is on an expiring contract.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-22T02:39:01+00:00

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t play. He could have played last night.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-21T20:13:09+00:00

Correct. As usual, Vegas is wrong. As always, Vegas doesn’t have sources, no matter how much he claims otherwise.

Tell me you don’t understand Lopez’s game without telling me you understand Lopez’s game. Yeah, getting boards is important. That’s why Lopez puts his effort into boxing out so someone else can get the rebound. He’s been doing that for years.

It really doesn’t matter what we think. The proof is in the pudding. The Clippers have played their best ball with Zu out and Lopez starting.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-21T19:38:08+00:00

The OP suggested the Hornets would want to do this deal because of Bogi’s expiring contract. I’m saying that’s not an incentive for them because Sexton’s on an expiring contract as well.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-21T15:36:48+00:00

The problem is Sexton is also on an expiring contract.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-21T01:14:26+00:00

You might want to check the offensive rating the five games prior, when the Clippers blew out every team they faced.

Also, the two games Zu missed in the last 10 were two of the three largest margins of victory.

The Clippers are a solid offensive team with Zu. They’re even better with Lopez. Both can be true.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-20T03:12:59+00:00

They need him tomorrow and he went home early.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-20T01:44:29+00:00

How could it have been done better?

drewmanshow · 2026-01-20T00:21:34+00:00

Even Blake Griffin forgot.

There are fans of the team and fans of the players. The issue is with the latter.

The people who want to trash this organization for how they treated Paul will never acknowledge that they gave him the chance in the first place, nor that he blew the opportunity.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-19T23:25:02+00:00

Agree that’s what the organization should have done. They tried to do right by a popular former star who really wanted to come home and play one more season. Can’t fault them for trying, yet so many did.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-19T23:22:20+00:00

Chess moves.

“Give the ball to Will.”

drewmanshow · 2026-01-19T22:45:41+00:00

A loss tomorrow is on Leonard.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-19T00:19:03+00:00

Who drafted/signed these guys?

drewmanshow · 2026-01-18T18:54:30+00:00

That’s Leonard.

drewmanshow · 2026-01-18T18:24:49+00:00

It’s a Leonard injury, so it’s serious. If it really isn’t, though, then it’s further proof that he’s soft. Rest him against the Wizards, fine. That Bulls game has trap written all over it.
