Preview: Kings at Clippers

Star-divide

THE CLIPPERS TRADE RECAP

HighTops put this together to illustrate the Clippers' trades"

The Clippers moved Marcus Camby’s expiring contract for backup PG Steve Blake and SF Travis Outlaw from Portland.   Then they acquired Drew Gooden in a 3-team deal with Washington and Cleveland, sending Al Thorton to Washington and Sebastian Telfair to the Cav’s.   To finalize the Portland deals, the Clippers waived Ricky Davis.

Clippers General Manager Mike Dunleavy had this to say about the trades:

"Basically we started to look at the opportunities to clear out cap space for this summer. In the mean time we looked to acquire assets that we also liked. The last two days we were able to do that. Yesterday we traded Marcus Camby for Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw. A one player for two-player transaction. Today we sent two players away-Sebastian Telfair and Al Thorton for Drew Goodon. We replaced all the positioning. A point guard, a wing player and a power player. In the meantime we were able to create more cap space for this summer that gives us the flexibility to go into many different directions."

THE SCOUTING REPORT

And of course, per usual, HighTops put together an awesome scouting report on the game.

The Clippers are 21-33 for the season and 14-12 at home.   But, they are only 2-11 in their last 13 games, with their only wins coming on the road in Chicago and Washington. Only 3 of their last 13 games were at home, and those home losses came against 3 quality teams the Spurs, Hawks, and the Jazz.  

Their starters are: Chris Kaman 7-0 265 lb. Center, who has always dominated the Kings bigs, so expect him to outperform his 17.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.1 blks on 49% shooting.  Baron Davis 6-3 215 lb. Guard, who is shooting below his season averages of 15.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg, and 7.8 apg, but that may be due to a back problem that caused him to miss Wednesdays game against Atlanta and still has him listed as Day to Day on the injury report.   Eric Gordon 6-3 222 lb. Guard, who is averaging 17.2 ppg and 3.2 rpg on 46% from the field and 35.7% from 3-point range.  Rasual Butler the 6-7 205 lb 7yr pro, who is averaging 12.5 ppg and 2.7 rpg on 43% from the field and 38% from 3-point range.

Thornton's inconsistent perimeter shooting lost him the starting SF spot to off-season acquisition Rasual Butler. The addition of Travis Outlaw, who came over from Portland in the Camby deal, made Thornton expendable.   But, Outlaw is still on the injured list after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot on Nov. 18th, and isn’t expected to be back until Mid-March, leaving very little depth at SF for now.   The Clips helped themselves by acquiring Blake to backup at PG, but the loss of Camby and his 7.7 ppg and 12.1 rpg and replacing him with Gooden’s 8.9 ppg and 6.9 rpg has got to be considered a downgrade.   Camby has a PER’s of 20.47 to Gooden’s 12.37.   So, the Clips look to be worse off now then before the trade deadline.

With Griffin and Outlaw injured, the Clippers will dress 12.  Four are guards 6-3 or shorter (Eric Gordon, Bobby Brown, Baron Davis, & Steve Blake).   Their SF is 6-7 Rasual Butler and their final wing is 6-6 Mardy Collins.  Their other 6 are all PF’s & Centers; Kaman and Camby had been their starters with 6-7 Craig Smith their 1st big off the bench averaging 21.3mpg.   Leaving limited minutes for the remaining bigs 6-10 Steve Novak 6.6mpg, 6-9 Brian Skinner 9.4mpg and 6-11 DeAndre Jordan 16.6mpg.  

With Camby gone I expect 6-10 Drew Gooden to move into the starting PF spot and it might be time for DeAndre Jordan to step up his game and show the potential that was expected of him.   If he can’t contribute more at the center spot then when Kaman and Butler come out of the game the Clipper will have to go very small with 3 smallish guards, 6-7 Smith at PF and 6-10 Gooden at Center.

The Kings traded Martin and moved the 3 players who didn’t suit up for the GSW game (Sergio, Hilton, & K9).   So, which players suit up and which sit in the stands?   Well, Larry Hughes and his $13.6M contract are back east recovering from an injured finger and may never play for the Kings if they can buy out his contract.   Dominic McGuire was only acquired so that Washington could get under the Luxury Tax, by paying the Kings $800K to take him for the remainder of the season.   So, that leaves the remaining spot in the stands to our other recent acquisition Joey Dorsey or possibly Sean May who averages the fewest minutes per game (9.7) of any of the players remaining from before the trade deadline.

According to a post by Aykis16, PW said in a radio interview that he was planning to start JT at center, Landry at PF, Omri at SF, Cisco at SG and Tyreke at PG in this game.   Which leaves us with an acceptable bench of Spencer, Beno, Donte, Noc, his Brockness, and Ime.  Tyreke has looked and said that he’s been tired, dare we say Rookie Wall.   Cisco is back early from his injury and is surely not in game shape.   So, I expect to see plenty of Beno and Ime at the 1 & 2.   If JT can’t stay out of foul trouble against Kaman and depending on how well Landry adapts to the Kings offensive scheme, we may see a lot of Spencer and Donte in the game also.

Without Camby at the 4 & 5 and without Thornton to backup Butler at the 3, it’s uncertain what type of rotations the Clippers will use either.   But, since over half their team is under 6-7, it’s certain that we’ll see at least some small ball especially after the way we played at GS.   It should be a very interesting game to watch, seeing how the new players fit in with the offense and defense, and how the coaches use their players and try to out maneuver each other.  But, in the grand scheme of things it’s still only a battle between two teams for the 3rd or 4th worst record in the Western Conference.

THE KEY BATTLE

Jason Thompson vs. Chris Kaman. Thompson's first test as Landry's big man partner is a good one: the quasi-All Star Chris "Captain Caveman" Kaman. (I say quasi-All Star because it took so many injuries to get him on the team. And if Tyreke Evans had been named as the third injury replacement, you can guarantee "quasi" would not be in my lexicon.) Kaman is a so-called load, and a player Brad Miller and Spencer Hawes typically have trouble with. The key is in making Kaman shot 10 feet plus jumpers, or making him put the ball on the floor. On the other end, just attack. In my book, he's an iffy defender, despite his reputation. He will swallow up lay-ups if Thompson lollygags too much, but J.T. should have the quickness to get the ball into the bucket when opportunities arise.

I might also add that I'm terrified of DeAndre Jordan, Kaman's No. 2.

BOLD PROCLAMATION

If Baron Davis and Tyreke Evans would have been involved in a shoot-out a la Rondo/Durant at H.O.R.S.E., it would have ended within 30 seconds. "Clank!"

BOLD BROCKLAMATION

Ladies, gentlemen: Jon Brockman did not travel with the team due a knee injury suffered in Friday's practice. The mere spectre of Joey Dorsey has let the wild rumpus start.

DETAILS

It's a late 7:30 PM PT start for the Kings and Clippers. Two Saturday night game threads (7:30 and 8:45) and a post-gamer (10:15). (If anyone's interested, Kevin Martin makes his Houston debut at 5:30 PM PT against Indiana.)

There’s a fanshot up about this already for those wanting to know more. PW also talked about it in his pregame interview too.

Here is what Coon says on the matter
Teams under the salary cap may make trades as they please, as long as they don’t end up more than $100,000 above the salary cap following a trade. But if a team is over the cap, or they are under the cap and a trade would take them more than $100,000 over the cap, then an exception is required. An exception is the mechanism that allows a team to make trades or sign free agents and be over the salary cap. Since teams are usually over the salary cap, trades are usually accomplished using exceptions.

I'm not Amick but I'll give it a try

It is timing. The Kings were under the cap, so they do the McGuire deal 1st. Then whether or not they were still under to cap, the TPE exemption still applies.

Martin made $9.68M, Hilton made $2.801M and Sergio made $1.574M total= $14.056M
125%+$100K= $17.670M

Hughs makes $13.655M, Landry makes $3M and Dorsey Makes $881K= $16.736M
So, the deal was $900K under the TPE exemption.

I don’t get putting Garcia in the starting lineup right now, especially with starting Landry. It is almost like have two new guys start. I don’t get that. I can see Landry, if that is where Westphal plans to use him. I would much rather have Garcia come in off the bench. Perhaps, Westphal will do something different than what is predicted as the starting lineup in the Bee. I am also for Greene being in the starting line-up.

right lineup

This lineup makes the most sense – the first 3 guys off the bench will be:
1) Beno – at either 1 or 2
2) Hawes – if (when) JT gets in foul trouble … or JT movest to 4 and Landry sits
3) Donte’ – can play the 3 (for Casspi) or the 4 if necessary

Casspi, Landry and JT is the Kings’ best frontline since Vlade, CWeb and Peja … IMO

It's been a long (long, long, long) strange trip.

I remember all sorts of little things. The very first year I was at a Kings/Clippers game and we had a 20 pt. lead going into the 4th qtr. You guessed it. We gave up all 20 pts and then some. The highlight of the game was an all out brawl between a Kings & a Clippers player. The only thing lacking was Jeff Van Gundy hanging onto a players leg.

I also remember some truly terrible things too. Like Ricky Berry and the night Bobby Hurley almost died. I’ve seen some really good things too. Like our first Sac-era playoff series against Seattle. So, yes you could say long long time Kings fan.

new rotation

dumping the extra bodies will help – and with Brock hurt, we might see more 8-9 man rotations with minutes going to the guys who should have ’em, which means not too much Noc, Udoke or May

Modus OperLandry.....

I’m going to take this under advisement.

I'm not sure Donald Sterling is a human being. He had to have been manufactured by someone, possibly David Stern, so that one team could solely just make profit for the NBA while doing nothing good for themselves. -- Aykis 16

A New Era Begins

Can’t wait to see Carl Play! I did not know how athletic he was until I watched some videos of him on youtube. Guy can posterize people! Before the trade it still seemed we were far away from a playoff team. With the addition of Carl, the draft and cap space we have for the next couple of years, I could see us fighting for that 8 seed next year. GO KINGS!

a question for everyone about Landry

and something that has kinda been overlooked (i think?). Does he set a good screen?? With reke being reke, this could be a big factor in the success of the kings going forward. For me, Tyreke has been great without a player on this team that can actually set a decent pick ….i hope Landry might bring this basic, yet needed dimension to the kings!

by thisismellow on Feb 20, 2010 6:56 PM PST reply actions  

JT sucks at it too

i reckon Kenny T was the only one that could set a decent one. let’s sign him up!
