[Woj] Paul George Traded to Clippers

I suppose the way they see it they are effectively trading those 5 picks and 2 pick swaps for both George and Kawhi. And if they had to trade those guys in a year they could likely get something similar back.

 

OKC to Seattle, cue the Ron Paul gif.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking

 

As if we needed more evidence he is a fraud, here is Broussard yesterday:

 

Yeah all weve done is get older... in the NBA if your not getting better your getting worse.

 

Because he got his money and knew he could demand a trade if it didn't work out. Which is what he did.

 

Lol how did kawhai pass up a record deal with OVO?!

 

That dudes a ****ing clown. Him and his phony ass sources needs to be fired.

 

The clippers most likely death lineup of

Bev
Lou
Kawhi
PG13
Harrell

Doesn’t scare me at all

 

sighs...I hate the western conference bruh........

 

That lineup is sick. Lakers vs Clips in the playoffs will help us watch.

 

Attack Lou. Bucket is open with Harrell in. Too much of a hole. Lou will be on the bench for scoring while all those other dudes sit.

 

We are lucky there are two teams in LA because if not the rest of the league would have no chance.

 

Haha dude has two mvp caliber players that play exceptionally on both ends plus very solid depth and you think he has his work cut out for him? Ok.

Clips>>>>>rox to everyone other than huge rockets homers, including Vegas. They just catapulted us.

And what’s w folks saying things like “ya but the clippers/lakers haven’t proven anything yet”??? What exactly has harden and co. proven other than consistently flaming out in the playoffs? Kawhi and Lebron have both led their teams to titles recently. They have proven infinitely more than harden has.

Time to remove those rocket red tinted glasses y’all.

 

Does not matter.

Biggest determination for success is heathly players during playoffs.

GSW lost because of injuries.

GWS won one because of injuries to Love and Kyrie.

So whatever happens I predict Lakers not in playoffs again because of injuries.

But looks like will take injuries to derail Clippers much like GSW.

 

OKC got 5 picks, 3 from Clips and 2 from Miami.

Heat just got Butler so I doubt they won't make the playoffs, especially in the weak ass East.

Kawhi is 28 and PG is 29, 2026 is their last pick traded so Kawhi will be exiting his prime by then with an aging PG. At least this trade nets OKC with 2 mid firsts and 3 late firsts.

Maybe Presti will pull off a miracle draft again but doubt it.

 

How much of a steal that Harden trade was. That’s the only thing I think about now tbh.

 

No one on this board should ever be worried about the Nuggets.

 

They rockets were offering 4 picks for butler why not 5 for pg. Its not like they were high picks.

 

You can't offer more than 4 when you only own your own 1st rounders. The Clippers had also picks from Miami and maybe Philly.
