TP for the post.
I hope we get the LAL pick in 2018 and here's to Memphis finishing just outside the top 10 in 2019 (quite possible) and LAC hanging in there for a playoff spot (it's doubtful right now).
The Memphis pick is top 8 protected, not top 10.
I do think the Clippers will be in the playoffs. They lost Paul, but they did add Galo, Teodosic (who is probably the best passer in the world), Beverly, Dekker, and Harrell. They've added a lot of shooting and improved their depth.
