And our man Lawrence Murray, Law Murray, is in town to talk about the Clippers.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning, guys.

How's it going?

I mean, Danny, I don't know how it's going for you, buddy.

Danny Cunningham from the Locked on Cavs podcast.

Probably a bit of a shock for you to now be covering James Harden when this wasn't really on anyone's radar until two days ago.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I'd say it's safe to say you look right now, they're basically tied for the four seed with the Raptors.

This puts them into home court advantage territory.

I mean, James Harden is a guy, to your point, he's going to play.

Their offense is going to crush.

He can run, pick and roll with Jared Allen.

He can run, pick and roll with Evan Mobley.

He's not going to do much, though.

when he doesn't have the ball in his hands.

I mean, how is the offense going to account for adding a guy who really isn't that dissimilar from Donovan Mitchell?

I mean, James Harden doesn't play in the mid-range as much as Donovan Mitchell, but so much of their game is similar.

All of a sudden, this team has a lot of guard depth where they just were struggling all year to kind of find a way to replace Ty Jerome.
