The Clippers are just one example. You saw the Warriors say bye to Klay Thompson. You saw – The Minnesota Timberwolves trade Carl Anthony Towns for a player that everyone knows not as great a fit as Carl Anthony Towns proved to be for a team that made a Western Conference Finals run. There will be more. And so the Clippers are trying to understand that, hey, we have a way to be competitive now.

And maybe there's another ceiling because you haven't seen Kawhi Leonard finish a playoff series as with Toronto as a head coach or with a guy like James as the point guard, like who knows what this team could do in a seven game series, but you have to be responsible when you're building your team. Now, that being said, there's a lot of money on that bench not contributing.

And so it behooves the Clippers to explore ways to balance or just, give this team a chance because you need a better Vince Zubat's insurance. Mo Bama's a player who is an NBA player, but he's only played 1,000 minutes once. He's got no availability. Being a lottery pick. Even when he's available, Mo's just not out there to fill more than 15 minutes in any given game.

But what's tricky, Zena and Dave, is that The backup center role isn't just having a Obama-sized person. What do these second units do? They downsize and they throw your junk lineups out there. Yeah. And you have to be cognizant of playoff basketball. Is there a player that fits that intersection? Yeah. Right.

You could start in a pinch, but you could also play in lineups that mirror what your role might be if you're going to be on this team, especially in a playoff setting. That's going to be tricky, but I think that's what the Clippers are trying to figure out over the next eight days.

Come on, John. John Collins is the theory player. OK, I just don't I just don't know if he's the in practice player because John has his weaknesses. You know, people talked about a day on sharp. I just don't think they're on sharp is a player with who can who can elevate his game too much to one dimensional for what the Clippers need. Right. And that's the thing.

I think it's going to have to be something outside the park. And you know what? I'm also bracing myself for this being the first time that the Clippers don't make a move at the deadline. But I feel like, again, there's literally a guy on the team who is making $11 million and hasn't been with them since Honolulu. So...
