A prideful mofo wont give the clips a run for the title, poor kawhi & company I see nothing great about their moves.

Norman Powell just had a career year in the role Beal’s going to be in. The clippers won’t make the playoffs if kawhi only plays 40 games and Beal doesn’t replicate some of the production of Powell.
Hopefully with extra motivation and the fact that the clippers need him, Beal can get back to prime form.

First take is horrible without Steven A and it gets very noticable when he’s gone for extended periods of time 😅

Clippers need a young ascending talent they got a team full of old school chevys that used to be clean

People saying he’s not a good fit are just mad he’s not going to their team. Like the Lakers. He was out of position on the Suns and that team was a mess. I bet he will be a great shooting guard with Harden setting him up. I also bet Powell will miss having a point guard like Harden and his production will take a hit.

Just glad he’s the Clippers problem now, although the Suns will still be paying for that move for a long time. Did absolutely nothing in Phoenix.

If Mavs are a top 5 seed next season like he thinks is guaranteed, AD has to be a serious MVP candidate for the first time in the 2020s or Cooper Flagg is instantly a supestar lmao Does he realize Kyrie is out all season?
