Hersh Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 2 hours ago, @DCGoldPants said: Hoffman had a solid 90min on this today. David Aldridge and Ava Wallace as guests. Both say they hear this means Winger has control to make the biggest of changes if he deems necessary. Also that it doesn't mean he does that immediately. Get him here. Working with these current group on the draft. Maybe he makes the final decision draft night. But it'll be a summer and maybe season of evaluations. He's bringing his draft board with him and he'll likely hire a GM pretty quickly. No doubt he had a short list of his own and probably started making calls after his interview.

No doubt they scout everyone who is potentially a 1st. Wonder if they are thinking BPA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 The type of hire I hope Josh Harris pulls off with the Commanders. Hire a top lieutenant from a winning organization and let him run the operation. Props to Ted Leonsis for this move. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I know he has to say it, but Winger's comments about Beal in an interview to the LA Times gave me heart burn. He called Beal a superstar. I get the need to be public about things but it sounded like Tommy Sheppard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I'd expect a professional to say.....whether he means it or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it but still. https://www.latimes.com/sports/clippers/story/2023-05-26/former-clippers-gm-michael-winger-exclusive-interview Quote “His former coaches, his former teammates, they all have extraordinarily high regard for him, and he is unequivocally a superstar,” Winger said. “The hardest thing to do in the NBA is acquire a superstar talent and it’s even harder to acquire superstar talent with his level of character. And so, I think it’s an extremely, extremely fortunate starting point. So to me, that’s really exciting to have somebody like Brad on the team.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 hopefully, these guys sit down with Beal and say "If you wave your no-trade clause, we'll help you get to team you want." But they need to add in, if he doesn't want to wave it. That's his choice, but the team is going in this direction now. That they are rebuilding and it means young guys are going to get more minutes. He'll def be the starter, but the reality is he would be playing a lot less from now on. They lost their chance to move him for the best return 2+ years ago. Now it's about getting out from under his deal and then getting what you can in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm fairly certain I have no clue who did what and if the new Front Office was involved in the SGA trade from LAC to OKC... which part of the Paul George trade. I was a but upset we brought in a Clippers exec who traded SGA to the Thunder. Now we brought in someone from the Thunder who could have identified SGA as a talent. SGA plus those draft picks is a killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
