losing doc alone won't make the clips a lottery team. however, griffin already lost one season to injury, and CP3 is hurt a lot in general. if one of those 2 guys goes down, they'll have trouble in a stacked western conference. and even a mid-first round pick for the c's would be a coup, considering all we gave up is a coach who wanted to leave anyways.
i doubt doc will leave anyways, the NBA has already banned sterling from having any contact with the team, and i don't see adam silver backtracking on that. the process has begun to remove DTS, it's only a matter of time, and i think doc has to realize that. but by saying what he's saying, he's providing further proof to the legal system of just how damaging DTS is to the league. i suspect getting that point across might be part of his agenda.
