Sheesh, the Clippers were busy tonight. Might’ve found some gems, too. Keon Johnson at No. 21 (via trade) Jason Preston at No. 33 (via trade) Brandon Boston at No. 51 (via trade) Good time to develop some younger prospects with Kawhi potentially missing all of next season.

While I’m thinking about it… Tyronn Lue letting each of his players check out one by one to a standing ovation was such a great move. And what better way to instill confidence in Terance Mann by saving him for last and signaling for the audience to get loud.

The LA Clippers embarrass the Washington Wizards by a final of 150-125 — their second game scoring 150 points so far this season. Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams combined to score 110 points. Big takeaway? No Clipper played more than 29 minutes.
