Love the takes in this thread. Writing to express minor disagreement with 2 of them.
1. Morris is the kind of quality role player this team is missing. But don’t think for a second he could bring what Maxi is providing. Rim protection from a guy who can also defend the perimeter? That is practically non-existent in the NBA. The Clips need a guy like Maxi way worse than we need a bruiser like Morris. Swap those 2 guys and we wouldn’t have stood a chance last night.
2. Tap the brakes on Trey Burke. Love the guy. But without Beverly, the Clips have no one who can defend that type of player. Remember how waterbug point guards used to have career nights weekly against the Mavs? That’s who the Patless Clips are right now. Trey is doing a marvelous job of taking advantage of that. But he hasn’t transformed into our 3rd best player.
