FA: Kris Dunn to LAC | ?yrs/ ? money

[Arioch]

I have to say I like the Clippers moves this summer in general, and I think they want to copy the Mavs two stars + elite roleplayers model. Unfortunately for them Kawhi is too injury-prone and Harden disappears too often. Kawhi was fairly healthy last year and they had PG13. That was good enough to finish two games ahead of 7th. I would not only say that play-in is a ceiling lock, but depending on how Memphis bounces back and what Houston does, they could miss the play-offs completely, which is fucking fantastic, since OKC owns their next two picks unprotected. 

Why on earth would you want OKC to get two additional lottery picks? They are already very good and very young. The biggest problem for that team is that as a small-market team they'll have trouble holding on to a core as their players age out of rookie contracts. Giving Presti (a very good drafter) fuel to keep the funnel of cheap young talent coming in is the best way to extend how long they are going to be significant contender in our division.

Would much rather the Clippers (who aren't going anywhere but down) hold on just enough to give OKC weaker picks.
