I think Memphis if healthy, has a shot at finishing better than the Spurs too. I just have serious reservations about their best players injuries and age wise.
DJ is the perfect pairing for what the clips do. On paper they are a very good team but the mental toughness/ injuries always get them. I wouldn't blow them up especially since they should be a lock for the WCF
while i can see why Iggy would say that the Thunder were the best team in the playoffs, I still dont see them beating the cavs in the finals if they made it.

That's my biggest concern as well.
Literally our 3 best players are coming off injuries/surgeries .
Agreed.
I think the clips can find another DJ.....they haven't been able to fil that 3 & D wing that they sorely need.

I could see Memphis finishing as high as two and as low as 4 so i'll settle on 3 lol
But parsons conley and gasol are coming off of serious injuries man. Like real serious. Then you factor in zach isnt young, etc.
Memphis appears to be good enough though to net a good 50+ wins this season though if they stay healthy. The core is there.
i think he was more so gassing the warriors with that statement. Thunder were the best team in the playoffs, warriors beat them, they became best team then. Warriors beat the Cavs..then they beat themselves.
The good thing is that Conley really didn't have a serious injury. It was more of a pre-caution to avoid him rupturing his achilles. I think it was just sore for the most pat and they were doing all they could to keep it that way and get him healthy.
Marc's foot is my biggest concern. His size + the history of foot injuries for bigs don't make me too excited.
I think Parsons should be okay. Zbo is coming off a good year and I think with his load slowly being taken away, he can still remain effective.
The thing I love most is that Fizdale trust the young guys. Our team is much younger now (especially on the bench). I really need Wright to have a healthy year as well. He will be key to our success when running and defending the pick n roll.
Who is going to bring that level of athleticism in the pick and roll and the ability to move on the perimeter on defense? The thunder just went to the WCF playing 4 on 5.
I agree they need an upgrade at the 3 but not at the expense of DJ. I'd move JJ first
I'm in the minority but I dont think they can.
DJ is an improved basketball player on both ends man.
I dont know if there's another player in the league that lac could get in return for jordan that provides his size, world class athleticism, durability and motor. He is really coming into his own and I used to feel the same way that you do about him.
The clippers were an elite defense last year that was even better after christmas, only atlanta was better I think. The number one reason for that was Deandre Jordan.
I don't buy Memphis as a top 4 team at all. Aging or injury prone core. New coach. Weak shooting. Their anchor is coming off a serious injury and had already taken a step back
I'm cool on DJ. He's improved defensively...but until he shoots at least 50% from the FT line....he's a liability offensively.
Hell, Miles Plumlee is still available. Y'all may laugh...but he's good defensively and athletic. Clips should Sign him...trade DJ for Crowder, Amir Johnson and picks.....and flourish.
I'm spitballing here...but that ain't bad .

I remember BHZ hating tough on the deal Parsons signed with Dallas a few years ago. 3/46 vs 4/96
I think the Spurs can easily finish 2nd. Clippers will go theough cold stretches as they always do. The Spurs will continue to chug along.
Unless they don't
Play my man Jordan Adams please
I forgot about memphis picking up wright. Man that's a great pick up. Parsons is the best wing Memphis has had in years. Memphis should be really good provided health and no decline from the core due to age or something
