Clippers will never be taken serious by me until they fulfil that 3-SF position, Mbah-Moute can't be your starter vs. Warriors/Spurs/Cavs/ in the post season, it won't work

Mean a Moute is shooting over 40% on 3s and has been a premier defender this season.
I genuinely would like to see who you would suggest the clippers get that's realistically attainable, that would be an upgrade over Luc. Am not saying Luc is perfect, but the Clips not being able to beat GSW (they can beat SAS and Cleveland for that matter, right now if they were to get that far) is a league wide problem and whoever you think lac could grab that would be an upgrade over Luc, isn't making them better than gsw. It is what it is.

I don't care what he's shooting....if they don't get a SF that can create his own shot and playmake for others they will never go anywhere... U can't have 3 guys in your line up that can't create they own shot...u have a liability at 5 on offense, u have a 3 thats not a threat offensively and and 2 guard that's undersize that can't create his own bucket and a miniature PG that have to make plays for all of them...they need a 3, vs. Warriors/Spurs/Rockets and Cavs...he can't play so therefore they won't win....a Rudy Gay type player would be perfect

Rudy Gay? Because Rudy freaking gay is a really good playmaker and shot creator huh?
Spare me man. Rudy gay is not going to move the needle with lac's title chances. His name is far greater than his impact.
And even if I was on board with the Rudy gay thing, please explain a feasible way for LAC to get Rudy gay, (who's in a contract year so Giving up much of anything wouldn't be smart) without giving up a future 1st rd Pick and probably Austin Rivers
People stay saying the Clips need a 3 without providing a way for the Clips to get this magical 3.

so you saying Gay can't score and create shots for others? Dude is a good player and would be a bigger upgrade at that position than u would ever imagine, and he actually plays defense... And I was speaking hypothetically y'all need a small forward if u wanna stay with Mbah Moute
..go ahead and lose in the second round....AGAIN

Rudy gay has never created for others, has been an inefficient chucker for most of his career, he's not a good defender,all the teams he's been on have been better the moment he left, your only bit of youth you have with Rivers would have to be involved to get him, he's an expiring, but somehow he would be the missing piece 
Sure he's more talented than Luc and ideally you would want someone better than Luc at the 3, but Rudy freaking gay is not the answer. The Clips are a perennial 50+ win team and a tough out for anyone come playoff time. Idk if you can ask for much more than that with the way this roster is constructed.

Whether the Clippers would be better with an additional, consistent playmaker and whether they can realistically get one are two different issues. I don't think any Clippers fan would deny that getting another dynamic wing player would help them a lot. But there really isn't a viable path for them to do that. Someone like Gay isn't good enough to be the answer and, even if he was, it wouldn't be that easy for the Clippers to get him. That's pretty much the story for all potentially available SFs.

Lmao Clippers had 2-3 years to fix it but they wanted to sign Austin Rivers and some others scrubs therefore they killed they best players primes on an incomplete roster

LOL. You're clueless, bro. You make it seem like it's easy to just add an all-star caliber wing player. It's not. For the last 3 years, they were at the cap and had no assets to trade other than their stars. They did the best they could with the money they had to spend.
Why don't you go troll some other team's thread now.

I know we aren't going compete about Rivers having a better half than Gay aren't we... If u think Rivers are a better player than Clippers fans deserve that mediocre treatment

Actually, in 2017, statistically speaking, there's really no dispute that Rivers is a better player than Gay. Like I said, clueless.

lmao I guess everybody from ESPN and ex players like Jalen Rose/Billups and others are clueless too cause they also said they need to fill that 3 position with a Rudy Gay type of player also mentioned Wilson Chandler/Crowder aswell... But ok I'm clueless...y'all have a Center/Small Forward that can't score and a 2 guard in Redick that can't create his own shot and a miniature PG y'all have to rely on to make all y'all plays besides Blake's lmao I'm clueless

Kinda how this works...we debating...people always get mad at the truth if u don't believe Clippers need a decent or better Small Forward than u are blind and naive Sir...and I am a Lakers fan but I always like watching the Clippers cause I root for them especially to beat the Warriors but 1 more scorer would be key

^^^ Look man, nobody is sayin that, as currently constructed, the Clippers are going to beat the Warriors. But if you really think someone like Rudy Gay or Jae Crowder could be the difference maker, you are mistaken. They have a better chance rolling with what they have.
