1. We get a center who can play good or great in post with decent to great defense, move Capela over to PF, occasionally. Move Tucker SF. 2. We get a post bruiser at power forward who can rebound and defend, keep teams honest defensively and keep them somewhat in check offensively. 3. We get lucky and find another player, similar to Capela, but better Even when perfected, I don't think the Clippers can beat a team near or equal to them in check , if they have good bigs. I think they are going to struggle bearing the Lakers, Jazz, 76ers, Mavs, and the Suns, if they are competitive when they get Ayton, back.
How bout we leave Capela's no shooting outside point blank range at center and get a bigger 4 who can shoot / defend / rebound.
I think this thread should be renamed, random crazy idea thread, that way all the other crazy ideas that aren't trades can be kept in one thread.
I'll do you one better, we keep Capela, go bigger and then go EVEN bigger. Slide Harden to the 1, PJ at SG, Capela on the wing, newly acquired big man at the four and biggest guy of them all at center.
Tuck averages below double digits at PF. Worse, PJ is no ball handler so playing him at shooting GUARD would be a disaster.
Westbrook has to be the one to go. He just does not fit as a SG in this system, and that's what he's utilized as. Capela should be the only non-shooter for this system to work. Imagine even a Buddy Hield in this system.
How about 5 centers at the same time? I cant imagine how you lose any rebounds (offensive or defensive) with that setup.
You would have horrible spacing with Capela at the 5. I guess you forgot the cluster**** spacing we had with Dwert/Asik at the 4/5
