re: So are the Clippers retarded or just don't have enough/right assets for us?

Yeah it would be something along those lines. The only problem is that the free agent market next year is poo. So we’d have to bank on getting some kind of return for gallo before the break. Otherwise the only true assets are Shai and the Miami 2021 pick. That’s why shamet is a huge piece because he’d be an asset for years to come compared to Lou (who yes is on a great deal but is also 32 and will want to get paid in 2 years for his last major contract). If this trade happens it solidifies us taking a few years to build before we really make a push.
