But to do that, the  NBA 2K18 MT Clippers have to blow things up. They need to close the doors on Griffin and J.J. Redick. DeAndre Jordan would have to choose not to exercise his player option for next season or he would have to be traded, which is likely to happen if the team isn’t competing at a high level. Austin Rivers also has a player option worth about $12 million next summer that he can opt out of.

 That leaves the team with about  at Cheap NBA Live 18 Coins $22 million in committed salary for next offseason without the commitment of the Rockets draft pick and their own selection next season. It isn’t the prettiest picture. The team will be bad, yes. But in the NBA, being average is often worse than being terrible. We know what this core’s ceiling is with Chris Paul. Without him, They’re the definition of mediocrity.

Good enough to get to the playoffs, but not good enough to compete for a title.Blowing it up allows them to take a different direction with their salary and also allows them to build through the draft.The Clippers may need to rebuild through the draft, but they have to keep their picks to do thatThe Clippers must rely on the draft, once again, to bring in talent. With Jerry West in the fold as a consultant, they have someone in the front office who knows how to evaluate talent.

 But here’s the problem: The Clippers’ first-round pick in 2019 is only lottery protected. They traded this pick along with Lance Stephenson to the Grizzlies for Jeff Green in 2016. The Grizzlies then traded it to the  Celtics for Deyonta Davis during last year’s draft. The only way the Clippers can retain the pick is if they’re bad. They probably will be this season without Paul, but if their other marquee guys return, they could be a fringe playoff team.
