Can Sully and KO get better?

[hwangjini_1]

This is obviously a subjective opinion-- but I think KO can definitely get better, but I have my doubts about Sullinger. I like Sullinger, but he's inconsistent, and kind of like the Jeff Green of big men. Olynyck will not magically learn athleticism but he can score (although it's ugly sometimes), and I envision us getting defense/rebounding from a true center in a year or two (If not Okafor, Towns or Turner, PLEASE get Deandre, even if it's for the max!)

I don't see any way Jordan is leaving LA. Prime market, a coach who brought him to the next level, good team on which he plays a vital part. Situation and market wise, you really can't get better.

It would have to come strictly down to money and the Clippers can offer more money and years. Is he a max player? Probably not, but close enough. However, even if you are willing to overpay him and pay him the max, you don't think the Clippers will match or top that? Ballmer just overpaid for the team to ensure that he got it. After $2B for the team, I don't think he's going to be scared off by the luxury tax.

I could be wrong, of course, but I would be shocked if he's not a Clipper next season.

Perhaps, but different needs for different teams. LAC already have another good big in Griffin who rebounds, can block shots, etc. Getting a center (and a defensive-oriented rim protector) is enough to justify overpaying him by offering the max. That's not as big of a need for the Clips, and even if they will end up maxing him out, we should still pursue Deandre and FORCE THEM to do so. I am typically against offering the max but I would for Jordan and Butler. Kahwi Leonard-- maybe.

are you saying that danny has compromising pix on them, and that now is the time to put the pix to good use? if so, i couldn't agree more.

Not CP3 or LeBron franchise players,    But capable second or third option guys for building around some star talent.

Sully's big frame could support reduction in fat and replace with muscle .

KO needs a brain transplant ......or the Kobe gene spliced into his DNA

I think Sully has peaked.  I expect KO to regress.  Of our current crop of young players, only Smart and Young have a chance to make a leap.

I agree--KO got stronger in the off-season, but looks like he has definitely got more muscle in his upper body, at least, as this season has gone on. He's doing the work, and I think it will pay off. Probably by next year.

Strange. He looks exactly the same to me.

crap. i cant figure out to post images. but i looked at gonzogy olly and celtic olly pix. i SUPPOSE i can see a bit more definition in his arms now. i suppose all the workouts are helping. but i am largely in the koz boat and dont see anything dramatic.

put if those of you can post pix can show a difference, please do so.
