    Thabo was playing very well the last few games before the break. I thought so, anyway. I'm still digesting getting Green. If he plays like he's been capable of playing in the past, when he frequently seemed to save his "good" games to use against us, he'll help a lot. I'm more excited about Carroll. If we're lucky, the two new guys will be difference makers, and Thabo will continue to improve.

    I'm still hoping Morey will pull another rabbit out of his hat. Let's hope it is -

    Clippers remind me of the portland trailblazers (minus the knucklehead factor) of the early 2000s. Just amass as much talent as possible, fit be dammned.

    LAL is crying…

    Lakers seems to be the one most in need of a backup pg

    if he can stay clear of the back injury the rest of the way, the richest just got richer -- a 14&5 rotation-level player who can makes 3's at a 38% clip

    Meh. I just think there's a massive redundancy with him and Lou Williams on the roster. Also, Reggie has a tendency to go off the reservation and take some ill-advised shots, not to mention have serious defensive lapses at times. If the Clippers are looking to play him significant minutes off the bench in the playoffs, I think a team like the Rockets can exploit him.

    Playing on the Pistons has something to do with that, but I agree he's not going to be a huge factor. Won't close games for the Clippers. Not too worried about him. Glad he didn't choose the Lakers, more than anything.

    This is the guy I want even, if just for 10-12 mins a game. And still only 28.

    Would need to drop Tyson, Clemons or Harty.

    Or not re-sign Green after 10 Day completed.

    Harkless and Carroll play same spot, Green more of 5 backup IMO. So will be interesting if option presents itself.

    man that sucks. I would hate to cut anyone. i feel like harkless is so underrated though. I think the blazers miss him and the clippers do too. he is such a versatile defender and has great motor. him, roco, and tucker would be amazing. we could force so many turnovers damn. the more turnovers the less we have to worry about being outrebounded or not shooting well from outside.

    Exactly. He would be awesome and picked up a ton of minutes as long as could recover from back injury. first, Morris, and now signed regime, clippers lineup got full fledged!
