Kawhi to the Clips

[bksballer89]

Just found out.

My reaction? Not bad.

Would have preferred for him to stay in Toronto, but at least he didn't go to the Lakers.

Same. League should be fun as hell the next 2 seasons leading up to free agency of 2021

 

[The Oldtimer]

Yeah, future wise they could be ok. But with how open the NBA would have been this coming season, its possible the Thunder could have been right there in the Finals as well. Did Kawhi straight up tell the Clippers to tell OKC that "Trade for PG or Kawhi is going to the Lakers" and maybe OKC decided it was best not to have another super team around and thus made the deal to pick up some assets?

Good point.

and at least they were able to get a bunch of unprotected 1sts out of it...

oh, sorry.

yep Clips basically did what the Nets did. Traded their core to bring in 2 random superstars.

And Lakers essentially did the same thing.

I think the Nets gave up the least.

Well at least PG gave it a shot to work in OKC. Could have bolted a season earlier and the Thunder would have ultimately gotten nothing in return. If there’s any silver lining with that for them.

Kawhi, PG and Pat gonna be the best defensive 1-3 by a mile.

But also another superstar punts playing with Westbrook and I’m here for it, lol

Congrats @Mecca you deserve this squad.

Definitely this

Him trying to make it work netted them a bunch of picks

The Clips still have Beverly, Harrell and Williams.

 

[The Oldtimer]

That is the bottom line, either Raptors or Clippers were getting Kawhi. Lakers weren't in it

Yep that's the way it looks. The Clipps didn't want the Lakers to get Kawhi.

Lol at putting Jalen Rose in the same sentence with those other 2 bums. Jalen is a cool dude.

Maybe so but he say 99% to Raptors. Wont hear much outta his mouth

Apply for GM... They'll take you! ...if they don't all other teams will! ...I'm sure they will! ...you are extremely smart... next Einstein!

Tell me about all the smart moves you called the last 3 weeks here. We're waiting.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

But that nickname has nothing to do with his front office chops

In a way it kind of does...as witnessed by the respect he still has from the owners and the many players he's signed since he's been in a GM & executive position.

Woj was on from the get go


Entertaining read in this tweet from Laker fans

OKC got to trade Russ now

Who's gonna take that contract for a guy that wont help you win?

 

[Shower Fart]

Anthony Davis just made history: he's the last remaining LeBron fan. And he was the last to know the party was over.

We gave up picks, kept every player that mattered outside of SG-A.

Health permitting, Apple's and oranges because neither Kawhi nor George is cooked like KG.

 

[Mecca]

Detroit or Houston.

 

[Shower Fart]

Detroit or Houston.

Why though? Houston already has the high priced fantasy player that can't win. What would Detroit get out if it, unless OKC sent a bunch of picks along with Westbrook, which leaves them with nothing except cap space.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Detroit or Houston.

Charlotte, Washington, Minnesota or Philly.

It could happen...and probably will very soon.

Boogie hits the Lake show...

Lakers agree with Cousins, bring back Rondo

 

[Taddy Mason]

Charlotte, Washington, Minnesota or Philly.

It could happen...and probably will very soon.

Miami or bust.
