Wishlist: Starting Small Forward 

The Clippers are so close to being at the top of the Western Conference. There has always been something to get in their way, whether it’s freak injuries, players suspensions, or just choking in important playoff series. If I could give them the gift of not having a playoff curse I would, but we’ll stick to personnel Christmas gifts.

We’re giving the Clippers a legitimate small forward for Christmas!

Doc has been toying around with different lineups with Crawford and Redick being out there at the same time, or having Mbah a Moute and Wes Johnson rotate at the 3, but nothing has really stuck. This small forward needs his number one priority to be defense, because the Clippers are set offensively. Having a guy that can guard multiple positions on the wing with great length has never been more in demand. If Rudy Gay cared about defense at all, he would be a great fit here.
