Why don't we just disband the Clippers and hold a contraction draft between the teams that missed the playoffs this year? Same odds as the normal draft.
Lol... Can you imagine if you missed out on a top 2 pick in that draft? Oh man. Better yet, just add the Clipper players to the same draft pool as the rookies... then I think we'll be having some fun.
Since I'm clearly bored... let's imagine that for a second. Let's say that by drafting a player, you're stuck with his current contract, but you don't need to worry about having cap space... so if you want, you could select Chris Paul, but his 20mil per year salary would be added on top of your existing pay roll (potentially facing luxury tax penalties and all that stuff)...
Does Blake go #1 based on age and then CP3 #2? Where does DeAndre Jordan go in that draft... considering you could either have him and his 10 mil per year... or select a rookie and keep him under rookie contract for a few years. That's interesting. You'd prob take Wiggins, Parker and Embiid over DeAndre just because of the contract, right? Then you're like... OPtion 1: Solid center who is already proven he can put up 13 boards and 2 blocks while making 10 mil a year... Option 2: Dante Exum on a rookie deal. Anyways... considering we're looking at likely the #6 pick this year, I think i'd like our chances better this year if the Top 7 included CP3, Blake, Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Exum and Jordan.
Ridiculous scenario, but fun to think about.
