    The better question is, how many years until we get another superstar? Without them we ain't even getting to the playoffs and we just ran a historically great player out of town for "team ball".

    Getting a superstar is not a big deal if you lose them before getting to the Finals.

    OKC at least got 1 year w/ their young superstars.

    EDIT1: Case in point, Derrick Rose.

    EDIT2: Forgot about Greek Freak.

    40, 20, 12 are the years with the most votes...

    Sounds like 12 years minimum is where we're boiling it down to.

    3 years? LOL.

    I would agree. However, I'm trying to include the shittier fans who think that's a low enough of a bar to not care about.

    Oh we got "lock down" Eric Gordon for that clown.....lol

    At least I've been told Eric Gordon has shut Mitchell down to, like zero percent FG% the last two playoffs.

    At this point, I'd settle for a 2-game winning streak.

    I think it won’t be easy to have 3-game winning streak.

    Trade Tucker, Oladipo and Gordon for future picks or someone like Blake Griffin.

    With Front court leader Griffin and backcourt leader Wall, it will be easy to get top -4 picks next 6 years.

    Clippers never have conference finals appearance since 1970.

    Really impossible to know.

    Fortunes can change with drafting the right player or acquiring the right player.

    I don't think it's 3 though, even if you say, draft Cade, and he's a generational talent he still has to grow into that.

    The answer is whenever the Tilman family no longer own the team + 10 years.

    If the current Rockets fans think Harden and Tmac were close to Hakeem
    3 > 0
