From under a rock
From under a rock
Firstly, I’d
like to send out my apologies to the league for my absence over the last few
months, unfortunately life happens which forced me away from NSL and the league
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed for years.
Hopefully with
the dust settling on what has been a tumultuous year I can resume some of my
NSL activities and enjoy what looks to be the culmination of a wonderful
playoff series. And navigate what is next for the Clippers who just concluded
what was a disastrous season albeit a rudderless campaign.
First cabs off
the rank will be considering the futures of both John Collins (player option)
and Moritz Wagner (team option) the teams only centre eligible players. followed
by a 2025 NSL draft pick in which the Clippers will select at #4 which is quite
a relief considering from quick reading, seems to be a clear top 4 or 5 draft prospects
in which after a quick analysis its most likely the Clippers will either add Ace
Bailey or VJ Edgecombe to the 2025-26 roster
Which is not
ideal and just adding players we don’t really need to the roster, but when
using a #4 draft pick you DO NOT draft for need over best player available
unless you receive a trade offer that is an absolute no brainer for the outlook
of the franchise
Coming off a
campaign that could only be described as farcical we need to do some serious
roster construction this off season
·
C –
John Collins (PO), Moritz
Wagner (TO)
·
PF
– Paolo Banchero, Tari Eason, Kris
Murray
·
SF
– Tobias Harris, Trey
Murphy, Ron Holland
·
SG
– Jalen Williams, Jordan Hawkins, Aj Johnson
·
PG
– Cason Wallace, Keyonte George, Kobe
Bufkin
Trade
Block
In order to
make a more balanced roster for the upcoming season the players most likely to
be offered up in a trade will be as follows
·
Tobias
Harris 1 yr 26.6 Million (81 overall)
Veteran
SF/PF on an expiring contract, would love to keep him on team unfortunately
will need to make way to round out other positions
·
Kris
Murray Rookie Scale (73 Overall)
Finished
the 2024-25 season as a starter in Portland I’m expecting 2025-26 season to be
a breakout campaign for Kris
·
Kobe
Bufkin Rookie Scale (73 Overall)
Kobe
is an enigma shows flashes of being a regular contributor to an NBA team
unfortunately just can’t stay healthy for long periods of time
·
AJ
Johnson Rookie Scale (75 Overall)
AJ
is a favourite of this Clippers GM and probably the least available of all
players listed. A mid-season trade during his rookie campaign to the rebuilding
Wizards only increases his chances of becoming a legitimate NSL starter.
