    Deal isn’t done yet it’s just agreed on. So we won’t know all the details until prob tomorrow.
    But we will have 2 spots open to get a decent center. Or wait for the buyout market

    We have been paying attention. This owner has done nada to suggest he will actually spend that $$.

    Let me ask you also this

    If you are a Free Agent Center why would you go to play with Houston and not the Clippers?

    Just don't see it against longer teams like LAL, LAC, MB, Heat, even Denver, Mavs, Raps now... I sure hope we get a serviceable center that can spread the floor but who is going to be available that isnt a scrub or project that can contribute ?? Unless we can snag Looney and no one even knows if he is healthy I havent seen him play much so far this year ???

    Part of me agrees with you but still, length matters. Morey better work his ass off to get a legit cetner or we are doomed!

    I still think you need some sort of rim protection. Covington might be an upgrade in some aspects but losing Clint does come at a cost.

    Then there is this element to the situation... Feel bad for Clint but man that injury sit down all seems to make perfect sense now

    Dude. What’s with the whole $5 million room being a thing? This isn’t a free agency period. Literally can only be used on buyout players, there will only be a few if any big men that are bought out, and they will probably get all their money from their original contract so they may care to take less and go to an L.A. team. That $5million room does nothing.

    What?

    If Covington is healthy for his whole time with us I will go light candles in the churches. Because it will be a near miracle.

    I can't get over the fact that we gave up so much and Malik Beasley ended up with Minnesota. Morey got fleeced by Gersson Rosas!

    As someone of gypsy descent I resent the racist remark but also agree with it.
