at a minimum...
any minutes that wes plays will come from:
1) moore's minutes at SF/3rd guard, freeing him to play the 2
2) miller's minutes at 3rd guard, freeing him to play the 2
3) solo's minutes at SF
all three are better scenarios for the pels's rotation

Johnson makes almost $1m more than Ajinca, so it gives us more flexibility once he's able to be traded.

Best way to put it. Maybe his $6.1 mil comes in handy as opposed to Ajinca's $5.2 mil, but that will likely be the only help that we get from him.

Ha, he is probably our best SF...Dell Motherfricking Demps...turn our trash into slightly less shitty trash

Completely a move to get a guy that can play 5 minutes a game at a desperate position of need as opposed to a guy that can play Zero Minutes a game at a position we have no need at.
Let's be real: Wes Johnson sucks. But he's much more useful than Alexis Ajinca.

As @BobbyMarks42 says, there's no deal unless the transaction is completed with league office in time for the Clippers to waive Ajinca before the 5 PM ET deadline.

And what would hold that process up?
Posted on 10/15/18 at 2:40 pm to Fun Bunch
Brought him in just in time to guard James Harden opening night. What could go wrong?

BOOM. Turning a minus into a plus (kind of)
Posted on 10/15/18 at 2:45 pm to whatiknowsofar
Yes. Two minuses equal a plus.

something is better than nothing, that's about all there is to say about that trade. so yah.
Wish we could have sent them Diallo and gotten back Beverly too.

Hoping we can offer Evans a 2 way.

Very, very interesting. Wonder if this is the sort of thing that could make a trade with the Hawks slightly easier.

well that is nice that he can be traded immediately even if it's combined with other players.
Makes sense now that there wasn't anyone else involved in the trade, if that's why that is happening.
Hill/Diallo/Johnson works for Bazemore/Dedmon I think. Didn't work before with Ajinca/Hill/Diallo. would have needed to add another $1.2M or something like that.

Didn't Harden completely embarrass Johnson last year with that crossover?
Posted on 10/15/18 at 2:53 pm to TeddyPadillac
Yeah, again, we should reiterate to people that Wes Johnson does suck.
He just sucks less than Ajinca and is a more useful (relatively speaking) player for us, for sure.

I don't think he gets dealt right away but something to look at early in the season if another team gets off to a terrible start wants to jettison someone.
Posted on 10/15/18 at 2:55 pm to TeddyPadillac
I'd hold on to Johnson for awhile and see what's out there unless Hill just sucks out the gate and then you make a move.
