Law Murray

tries his best to get himself in the best shape, and he looked like it.

I mean, he definitely looked like a diet GQ this offseason, and Zion's still out for weeks, right?

The Clippers don't need that.

You know, Trae Young, he's out right now.

The Hawks are, you know, Wednesday night aside, they look like they are a team that can win at least with him.

I'm not saying thrive completely.

They could use him, but they clearly can win with this.

They didn't collapse because Trae Young is out, right?

And so...

You talk a little mellow ball, John Moran, those kind of guys.

It's like, first of all, that means you're trading James Harden.

You are not pairing James Harden with those guys.

But also those guys have massive deficiencies.

Why are you trading pieces away and acquiring those contracts?

And Dave, my last point on this is the contracts.

You talk about Giannis.

You talk about a lot of these guys.

The Clippers are trying to clear the books.

They're trying to have maximum cap space.

And an avenue to that includes if you're going to trade for somebody, the plan right now is to have guys with expiring deals.
