    Rob has done an okay job, but I have to credit the Anthony Davis trade mostly to LeBron and Klutch.

    Cousins got recruited by AD and only one other team was interested in him. Troy was a good signing, Dudley isn't bad. We overpaid a little for Green but didn't really have much option at that point. KCP swindled us again but we owe that favor to Klutch.

    He got whatever was left, and didn't make any massive mistakes from what I can tell. Our defense doesn't look so great on paper.

    Presti is very smart and knows what is not working, can't pay hundreds of millions tax on a roster who can't crack the 2nd round

    Wouldn’t it be funny if the Clippers moved to Seattle after Kawhi and PG finally make it back home to Cali? I would LOL!!!

    Kawhi - 2x DPOY, 3x first team all defense, 2x second team all defense
    PG - 2x first team all defense, 2x second team all defense
    Pat Bev - 1x first team all defense, 1x second teame all defense

    They're pretty solid. Mo is a good defender too.

    @lavar-is-trash Great analysis! The Clippers do project to be a good defensive team. I will add, though, that if Danny Green and LeBron are motivated, and Anthony Davis stays healthy, the Lakers starting lineup will do pretty well in that department too!

    Solid, but not best in history of NBA.I don't think that team with Shaq and Kobe were best in history, and they would sweep floor with this Clippers.

    Understood... :) I have to just to refute the theory about THE Greatest Defensive Team in League history.

    As another aside...two years ago I was hearing on ABC broadcasts that Harden was the best ever player on offense.

    Flavor of the month? :)

    Carry on with the selective amnesia and I'll do the same.

    Oh definitely concur
    They have yet to even play a single game
    Definitely media slant
    That and their anti Laker agenda
    I really cant recall another sport who's cornerstone gets hated and refuted so much
    The Yankees dont get this much slander neither do the Patriots
    Hmmmm you think it's an LA thing
    People jelly?
    If the Dodgers or Rams were perennial power houses would they get slandered

    that was just bad cap management for NYK, carelessly giving it away on mediocre players now they won't be players for Westbrick

    Can't be the best defensive team ever without a rim protecting big, ie Duncan, Wallace's, Rodman.

    Why would they want an aging westbrick on an awful contract?
    Just let them rebuild and not blow it by going all in for an aging star

    Zubac is actually a good rim protector if you look at adv numbers or even watch

    No he obviously wont be an all nba defense guy, but they have 3 of them as forwards and guards
