[Fusternino]

Vindicated.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit :wow

[BatManu20]

Lol lakers.... Thank god though.

[NASpurs]

Oh yeah, fuck the Lakers :lmao :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Damn with this many contenders in the West, the Spurs could easily be out of the playoff hunt.

[gambit1990]

is there a mod up? change my teams to clips.

[Leetonidas]

Lolwut??? Fuckin outta left field.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Cousins and Marcus Morris to Lakers in 3, 2, ...

[buujness]

Gained one contender, and lost another. OKC is out of the playoffs, it looks like. Such a squandered opportunity.

[Degoat]

That’s insane!!

[sasaint]

Cousins and Marcus Morris to Lakers in 3, 2, ...

And Danny?

[sasaint]

Gained one contender, and lost another. OKC is out of the playoffs, it looks like. Such a squandered opportunity.

So, does Westchuck get traded next? Doubt he wants to play on the team that OKC can currently put on the court.

[venitian navigator]

ok, now is time for some Paul's client to be rewarded with some big contract...I see M. Morris and Cantavious Caldwell Pope as probably first men signed...

[gambit1990]

RIP to westbrook / okc.

will they trade WB too?

[timvp]

Wow.

I'm still processing, tbh.

Thunder appear to be a pretty big winner too because they get a Herschel Walker type deal for PG13 and that could pull them out of mediocrity.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Can't wait to see Pop get outcoached by Doc

Fuck you Kawhi

[NASpurs]

I'm not even mad at Kawhi anymore ... well honestly I've moved on a long time ago but if he would had joined the Lakers... that's another story.

Good for the Clips :tu

[bayareaspursfan]

Jerry west is da man

[slick'81]

Jerry west is da man


Presti did great as well

[dbreiden83080]

Jesus Jerry West did it again..

[NASpurs]

We got DePression and Poeltl and a 1st rounder for 5 mil, DG and Kawhi :rollin

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs fans should be over Kawhi now. Toronto did everything for him. Accommodated his every request. Let him load management all he wanted. Let Uncle Dennis rule the roost. And, they won a freakin' title. And, he walked. He was never going to stay with the Spurs, no matter what the Spurs did for him. So get over him.

[bayareaspursfan]

The trade for Kawhi to Raptors worked out

[slick'81]

4 un protected 1sts and players?! Great fckn job sam presti

[timvp]

1147385617015291909

My god.

[slick'81]

We got DePression and Poeltl and a 1st rounder for 5 mil, DG and Kawhi :rollin


Its beyond fckn sad tbqh

[Coasting]

Wow, amazing trade for the Thunder. Eat a dick Lakers :lmao

[rasuo214]

Screwed over the Lakers so it's a win for me.

[kobyz]

And clippers still have money to sign Danny Green?

[RD2191]

The West back to being the premier conference after 1 season:lol

[Fusternino]

I told you guys the Clippers would stop at nothing to get Kawhi and we should've traded with them. Full vindication for myself.

[DC23]

Wow! Speechless. What's this say about Westbrook? Legs must be in pretty bad shape.

[Joseph Kony]

Does this drop OKC out of the playoff hunt? hard to think they're going to be competitive with Westchuck and Gallinari as their best players

[kobyz]

Spurs fans should be over Kawhi now. Toronto did everything for him. Accommodated his every request. Let him load management all he wanted. Let Uncle Dennis rule the roost. And, they won a freakin' title. And, he walked. He was never going to stay with the Spurs, no matter what the Spurs did for him. So get over him.

He would have stayed if not for the Paul George trade...

[emanueldavidginobili]

Clippers gave that up for Kawhi and PG practically. Kawhi wasn’t going unless they got another star. That defense is about to be crazy.

[Vic Petro]

I think Clippers were his plan all along. He engineered the breakup with the Spurs to get to this. Just happened to ring on the layover.

[slick'81]

Great deal for clips&thunder thats how trades work-value for both teams

[duncan2k5]

Now this makes ALL those nba analysts (and some ppl on here, but mainly analysts) look completely stupid... I remember them saying how the clippers were out of the race completely... I hope this let's ppl know how full of shit they are... Especially CC... Kawhi and his uncle doesn't tell that man shit... He guesses just like the rest of us and has been embarrassingly wrong this entire time

And I've been telling yall forever that Kawhi has no love for the Lakers... He was never a laker fan and he doesn't like lebron... So WAY he would go to that shit show of a team to be in the lebron circus

[DC23]

Does this drop OKC out of the playoff hunt? hard to think they're going to be competitive with Westchuck and Gallinari as their best players
I think and hope so. Otherwise, Spurs may be in trouble? I'm still not sure where the Warriors end up.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs fans should be over Kawhi now. Toronto did everything for him. Accommodated his every request. Let him load management all he wanted. Let Uncle Dennis rule the roost. And, they won a freakin' title. And, he walked. He was never going to stay with the Spurs, no matter what the Spurs did for him. So get over him.

I was over it this entire season. I just did not want the competitive balance of the entire league to be completely fucked. I’m actually proud of him. He went to where he wanted without fucking with the competitive balance.

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah. Kawhi i think has been faking the injury all along and this move to LA gives me a sneaky suspicion that "Load Managment" was just a ploy to keep him healthy for the Clippers. But they competed in the playoffs and at that point they had no choice but to give it their all in the playoffs.

Kawhi is probably going to be very heavity favourite to win FMVP again and MVP. They're winning 60+ games and they're clearly at worst the 2 favourites to win it all.

Bev-Geroge-Kawhi-Harkless-Harrel

Lou-Shamet-Zubac-Chandler is a great 9 man rotation.

Gonna be harder for kawhi to win MVP but i think he gets it if they hit the 65 win mark.

[rasuo214]

Kawhi apparently got Paul George to demand to be traded. He basically gave the finger to the Lakers and Lebron and got the guy who did it last year to them.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Oh and :lmao Drake

[DC23]

What's this say about LBJ? PG13 would rather play with Kawhi than LBJ.

[Kori Ellis]

I was over it this entire season. I just did not want the competitive balance of the entire league to be completely fucked. I’m actually proud of him. He went to where he wanted without fucking with the competitive balance.

I'm proud of him for being able to keep it under wraps. He wanted no leaks, and the Clippers delivered.

:lmao @ Cris Carter

[duncan2k5]

I think Clippers were his plan all along. He engineered the breakup with the Spurs to get to this. Just happened to ring on the layover.

Or it could be he had no problem playing here, but once they decided to make it a problem, he said, fuck it... I'll go home then... He literally said (and we could see for ourselves) if he wasn't resting this year, there's no way he would have been able to carry the raptors in the playoffs... So imagine if he was being pushed LAST year on a worse team when his injury was more fresh and he was more uncertain as to what the issue was

[NASpurs]

DG going to the Lakers

Kawhi apparently got Paul George to demand to be traded. He basically gave the finger to the Lakers and Lebron and got the guy who did it last year to them.

Glorious tbh... I hate the freaking Lakers... Good to see ppl stand up to the media machine

[Legacy]

1147386564319698944

:lmao :lmao :lmao Flakers

[toki9]

So he's basically leaving a trail of teams damaged behind him...and the Clippers are taking a huge gamble in mortgaging their future like this. If his health doesn't hold out, this could seriously damage the Clippers for a ridiculously long time. Wow. Golf clap. Must recognize game here.

[duncan2k5]

What's this say about LBJ? PG13 would rather play with Kawhi than LBJ.

I think most NBA players would... The idea of lebron is great, but let's be real... He is a franchise killer and the killer of careers

[NASpurs]

Big dick Presti fucking over the Lakers. Two superior GMs fucking over the Lakershow in tandem with no lube.

1147389096651739136

[BatManu20]

Danny Green signing with the Lakers... 2-yrs/$30M

[timvp]

So Kawhi wasn't really taking his time trying to figure out where to sign. He was just waiting for the Clippers to land a second star.

Well played, tbh.

[dbreiden83080]

I'm proud of him for being able to keep it under wraps. He wanted no leaks, and the Clippers delivered.

:lmao @ Cris Carter

I was actually thinking this morning their silence has to say something. Because if they were truly out as the fake media was reporting, why not come out and say something? They never did.. Obviously something was going on behind the scenes.

[rasuo214]

DG going to the Lakers

1147389514366824448

The Lakers big FA signing.... DANNY GREEN! :lmao

[monty4329]

Wow OKC.

Shai is starting PG for a decade, Gallo is still elite, they have a very competent team; with all those picks they can do what they want in the next couple years, trade some for another star or rebuild on the fly, great job Presti.

Well, it seems that trading elite players command multiple first round picks...

[duncan2k5]

So he's basically leaving a trail of teams damaged behind him...and the Clippers are taking a huge gamble in mortgaging their future like this. If his health doesn't hold out, this could seriously damage the Clippers for a ridiculously long time. Wow.

U realize he didn't ask to go to the raptors? Spurs sent him there as a fuck you (according to ppl on here who were laughing at him when the trade happened)... Now ppl wanna switch up the narrative and feel sorry for the raptors?

[timvp]

Danny Green signing with the Lakers... 2-yrs/$15M

2-year, $30 million. Good for Green :tu

[NASpurs]

So Kawhi wasn't really taking his time trying to figure out where to sign. He was just waiting for the Clippers to land a second star.

Well played, tbh.

While other teams scooped up free agents and left the Lakers in a holding pattern :rollin

[dbreiden83080]

So Kawhi wasn't really taking his time trying to figure out where to sign. He was just waiting for the Clippers to land a second star.

Well played, tbh.

Very well played. Some around here were speculating that is exactly what was going on. I didn’t believe it. I was wrong..

[vy65]

Looking at the hauls OKC and NOLA got, Uncle Dennis absolutely destroyed the spurs

[duncan2k5]

Wow OKC.

Shai is starting PG for a decade, Gallo is still elite, they have a very competent team; with all those picks they can do what they want in the next couple years, trade some for another star or rebuild on the fly, great job Presti.

Well, it seems that trading elite players command multiple first round picks...

Gallo is an elite player? Breaking news

[toki9]

So Kawhi wasn't really taking his time trying to figure out where to sign. He was just waiting for the Clippers to land a second star.

Well played, tbh.

Yep. Cold blooded. Quite Machiavellian and borderline sociopathic? Impressive. And Presti made out like a bandit here. Potentially, he might be the biggest winner of the whole fiasco.

[duncan2k5]

While other teams scooped up free agents and left the Lakers in a holding pattern :rollin

LMFAO

[rasuo214]

1147386564319698944

:lmao :lmao :lmao Flakers

Would the Lakers trade a 35yr old Lebron for a prime Kawhi and prime PG? Because that's basically what it cost them. :lmao

[Joseph Kony]

I think and hope so. Otherwise, Spurs may be in trouble? I'm still not sure where the Warriors end up.

i really think with Klay missing most of if not the entire season they might struggle to make the playoffs. Steph and Draymond aint getting it done alone, and their role players are pretty subpar. livingston will be even older. Russell is nice and all but he's not a game changer

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Yeah. Kawhi i think has been faking the injury all along and this move to LA gives me a sneaky suspicion that "Load Managment" was just a ploy to keep him healthy for the Clippers. But they competed in the playoffs and at that point they had no choice but to give it their all in the playoffs.

Of course he faked the injury. Will any analyst besides Skip say this? Of course not

[monty4329]

Oh and :lmao Drake

[duncan2k5]

Lamer fans in a panic right now... Lmfao

[siraulo23]

holy f

[NASpurs]

OH man this is the best timeline. Maybe the Lakers want DeRozan now :rollin

[toki9]

2-year, $30 million. Good for Green :tu

Good thing LA has no nightlife so he can focus on his play...

[slick'81]

Looking at the hauls OKC and NOLA got, Uncle Dennis absolutely destroyed the spurs


Everyone knows spurs were raped especially with what davis and george brought in for their former teams

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Or it could be he had no problem playing here, but once they decided to make it a problem, he said, fuck it... I'll go home then... He literally said (and we could see for ourselves) if he wasn't resting this year, there's no way he would have been able to carry the raptors in the playoffs... So imagine if he was being pushed LAST year on a worse team when his injury was more fresh and he was more uncertain as to what the issue was

:lmao "injury"

[buujness]

I don't think so; the Thunder have to sell tickets, still. Maybe next summer, when the fans get to know SGA a bit more (happens to be an heir apparent, too).

Can't say that I feel too sad about it; their owner was dumb as shit for making them trade Harden in the first place.

Sorry, thought I quoted; what I get for posting from my phone.

[rasuo214]

Only way this can get better is if the Lakers fail to make the playoffs and AD ends up leaving because of Lebron.

[duncan2k5]

Of course he faked the injury. Will any analyst besides Skip say this? Of course not

Stop already... At this point ur trying to fool urselves... The guy was clearly hurt... This happened in the second round... He could have EASILY sat out... It's not like he got hurt in the finals

[dbreiden83080]

Lamer fans in a panic right now... Lmfao

Poor babies. They only got 2 stars..

[slick'81]

OH man this is the best timeline. Maybe the Lakers want DeRozan now :rollin


Naw they got ldn

[timvp]

Couple random thoughts:

-Man, I might have to root for the Clippers over the Lakers. Obviously Neph screwed the Spurs but FTL for life, tbh.

-OKC got a superstar to stay ... and then traded him a year later. Not the greatest look.

-OKC got, what, seven first rounders for PG13? Wow. The Clippers better be good for a long time or the Thunder are in line for the 2035 championship, tbh.

-:lmao @ Lakers. I don't think they're the favorites in their own city, much less the NBA. :rollin

[Gamechannel]

Not only did this snake fuck the Spurs, he got PG to say fuck you to okc as well. This dude truly is a fucking snake

[monty4329]

Gallo is an elite player? Breaking news

He is. Was borderline all-star last season. In the top 80 in the league. Best scorer (40-40-90) in a playoffs team. You don't even know the meaning of ''elite''.

[Budkin]

Atomic Woj Bomb causing that earthquake

Shams broke Kawhi

[dbreiden83080]

Seriously Don’t like the guy. But proud of him. Good for you Leonard. You did the right thing for the league. Actually impressed.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Stop already... At this point ur trying to fool urselves... The guy was clearly hurt... This happened in the second round... He could have EASILY sat out... It's not like he got hurt in the finals

Nope sorry, faked it. Hid in a closet lol and now he's where he wanted to go all along

[BatManu20]

2-year, $30 million. Good for Green :tu

Whoops my bad. But yea, gonna be weird seeing Danny in that purple & gold tbh.

[duncan2k5]

Spurs fans should be over Kawhi now. Toronto did everything for him. Accommodated his every request. Let him load management all he wanted. Let Uncle Dennis rule the roost. And, they won a freakin' title. And, he walked. He was never going to stay with the Spurs, no matter what the Spurs did for him. So get over him.

Can't be mad at ur girlfriend if u did her wrong, then she ends up going back to her high school sweetheart... Kawhi didn't ask to be traded to the raptors... Yall were laughing at him when he was... Even timvp said spurs did him wrong... So after being done wrong he wanted to leave... And decided he might as well go home and play for the clippers

[timvp]

1147392238500163584

Screwed over the Lakers so it's a win for me.

Facts!

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Expecting the first DeRozan for Marc Gasol thread popping up soon.

[timvp]

Oh and :lmao @ Raptors fans. Never liked that lot. Might as well shut that franchise down, tbh.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

He would have stayed if not for the Paul George trade...

You know this how?

[slick'81]

Oh and :lmao @ Raptors fans. Never liked that lot. Might as well shut that franchise down, tbh.


I mean they did ring but back to reality for canada

[Budkin]

1147389191417933825

[Murray2k]

Respect to Kawhi, could have gone for the easy rings like these other lame superstars, but he made the best decision for an nba fan.. Next season is going to be amazing for the first time..

I'm finally over this whole thing, I got my closure now..

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

What's Drake doing right now? :lol

[monty4329]

Only way this can get better is if the Lakers fail to make the playoffs and AD ends up leaving because of Lebron.

I have one better: they make the playoffs at 8th seed and go 0-4, then AD leaves. That way I enjoy 4 games more.

[duncan2k5]

Would the Lakers trade a 35yr old Lebron for a prime Kawhi and prime PG? Because that's basically what it cost them. :lmao

Hmmm... Good way of looking at it

[NASpurs]

Is Uncle Dennis the greatest troll in NBA history?

[gambit1990]

change my team to the clips mods.

[Ron Swanson]

LDN is gonna be clubbin’ in LA full time. RIP

[John B]

To me it’s the best news. He fucked up Lakers for us. That’s good enough for me.

[duncan2k5]

Poor babies. They only got 2 stars..

I'm saying! Lol... Spoiled asses... Lol... Even my wife is joining in with the clowning... She said Kawhi would go play football before he goes to play with lebron... Lmfao! And my wife is the sweetest woman ever

[timvp]

change my team to the clips mods.

It can only be changed once a year, tbh. Remind again in 2020. Thx.

[NASpurs]

Laker fans keeping those Warriors jerseys on standby :lmao

[toki9]

Has there ever been an NBA player who has damaged (to varying degrees) so many franchises in such short time? And if he (or Paul George) can't stay healthy, then he may have crippled the Clippers as well. Wow.

[monty4329]

So Kawhi wasn't really taking his time trying to figure out where to sign. He was just waiting for the Clippers to land a second star.

Well played, tbh.

No leaks. Awesome organization, the Clips. If it was the Fakers it would have leaked after two minutes.

How long before Pelinka is gone?

[khantot]

Makes sense. He's closer to family and can go home every night. It's an hour commute from LA to Rancho Santa Fe (30 mins by plane). Plus, he's not joining a loaded team. He might get his third chip in less than a year.

[slick'81]

What's Drake doing right now? :lol


Listening to marvins room

I'm saying! Lol... Spoiled asses... Lol... Even my wife is joining in with the clowning... She said Kawhi would go play football before he goes to play with lebron... Lmfao! And my wife is the sweetest woman ever

My wife is enjoying this as well lol

[Ice009]

I told you guys the Clippers would stop at nothing to get Kawhi and we should've traded with them. Full vindication for myself.

Good fucking call. I was interested in trading with the Clippers myself. Do you think the Clippers were offering as much back then?

[duncan2k5]

He is. Was borderline all-star last season. In the top 80 in the league. Best scorer (40-40-90) in a playoffs team. You don't even know the meaning of ''elite''.

Bro... Ur saying he is an elite player and he wasn't even an all star? He averaged 19/6/2 with horrible defense, but now he is an elite player? If that's elite, what do u consider DeRozan? The greatest of all time?

[DJR210]

2-year, $30 million. Good for Green :tu

Fuck the money, look at the assortment of nightclubs to host at :tu

[Nathan89]

Props to Kawhi for not fucking the league by going to the Lakers. Getting easy championships is not fun. KD proved that. Kawhi's legacy if he can ring and get another finals MVP on a third team. Wow. The league is taking a massive leap in interest level tbh.

[Pavlov]

It can only be changed once a year, tbh. Remind again in 2020. Thx.:lol

[slick'81]

Faggot ass drake:rollin:lmao:toast

[duncan2k5]

Nope sorry, faked it. Hid in a closet lol and now he's where he wanted to go all along

If I feel like someone did me wrong, I wouldn't wanna talk to them either... And let's not act like Pops loyalty to the big 3 doesn't cloud his judgement for them... Tony Parker screwed his teammates wife for goodness sakes... A well-liked teammate too

[NickiRasgo]

This made me low-key happy with the result. One is justifying the trade to the Raptors then two is, while he's going to the Los Angeles, atleast it's not the Lakers.

Spurs should've considering dealing with the Clippers and should've ask for more from them.

[Pavlov]

He is. Was borderline all-star last season. In the top 80 in the league. Best scorer (40-40-90) in a playoffs team. You don't even know the meaning of ''elite''.I guess none of us do tbh.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Not only did this snake fuck the Spurs, he got PG to say fuck you to okc as well. This dude truly is a fucking snake

[Nathan89]

So those draft picks are every other year? Quite the scoop tbh. Meanwhile we got DeRozan.

[monty4329]

Has there ever been an NBA player who has damaged (to varying degrees) so many franchises in such short time? And if he (or Paul George) can't stay healthy, then he may have crippled the Clippers as well. Wow.

This reminds a bit the Nets trade, riskwise.

[Nathan89]

Toronto had a phenomenal shot at repeating. What a fucking dagger. Spurs got fucked but their team was actually primed to win with gsw falling apart. That stings.

[slick'81]

Fuck the money, look at the assortment of nightclubs to host at :tu

Trade DeMar back to Toronto for Siakim tbh.

[hombre]

What a piece of shit. Case closed.

[Texas_Ranger]

i am here just to laugh at the lekers. HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA

oh and go back to irrelevance Toronto. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[DJR210]

:lmao these delusional Canadian fucks thought dude cared about loyalty and the adoration of the nation

[lefty20]

Literally the best news for us. He fucked over the Lakers and threw away the Raptors like a cheap rebound hoe that they were and vindicated the Spurs.

[phxspurfan]

Good fucking call. I was interested in trading with the Clippers myself. Do you think the Clippers were offering as much back then?

We didn't want the Clips were offering, and didn't want to trade him to the West, remember

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Trade DeMar back to Toronto for Siakim tbh.

[FlAVaK]

This also means his leg is toast. Haha!

[slick'81]

Beverley,george,harkless,kawhi and zubak

[Spurtacular]

Wow. The media got that so wrong. It was supposed to be between Toronto and LAL. Then the 99 percent he's signing with Toronto.

:lmao American MSM shitting on Canadians.

[monty4329]

Bro... Ur saying he is an elite player and he wasn't even an all star? He averaged 19/6/2 with horrible defense, but now he is an elite player? If that's elite, what do u consider DeRozan? The greatest of all time?

I think you are mixing up 'star or superstar level' with 'elite'. Elite is around the top 20%, in any context, NBA included.

Consider that very soon Max level contracts available will be (at least) one per team. There will soon be more max contracts than all-star players in every given year...

Gallinari is just there, one of the top 80. Nothign more, but nothing less. And yes DDR (whom I want gone, btw) is better than Gallo, but overall only slightly.

(Lebron is worse than Gallinari on defense tbh)

[Texas_Ranger]

where is chris broussard with his 95%???? FAGGOT!

[Chinook]

I'm quite happy. Both LAL and LAC are beatable. Neither would be easy to defeat of course, and both have or will have some good role-players. But they aren't super teams.

[EricB]

It’s been LA for 2 years now and the Clippers for about 1t months. Hasn’t been a secret. Just pay attention to the right people.

[Ignazzz]

OKC should attack with picks Beal and Wizz

[dbreiden83080]

I'm saying! Lol... Spoiled asses... Lol... Even my wife is joining in with the clowning... She said Kawhi would go play football before he goes to play with lebron... Lmfao! And my wife is the sweetest woman ever

You and I argue about him all the time. But I am actually proud of him tonight. I really am. He went where he wanted without fucking with the competitive balance of the league. So yeah good for him. I’m cool with it.

[toki9]

I don't think this is going to end well for the Clippers...I just have a bad feeling about this (for them)...

[kobyz]

You know this how?

Imo, Lakers was never in the picture, and clippers just won Toronto pitch with that trade...

[gambit1990]

It can only be changed once a year, tbh. Remind again in 2020. Thx.
i never requested the first team change so go ahead and change it to the clips.

[hombre]

Also, now the Clippers have got to deal with Uncle Dennis! Hahaha!!!

[kobyz]

OKC should attack with picks Beal and Wizz

For him to leave right after?

[Ice009]

We didn't want the Clips were offering, and didn't want to trade him to the West, remember

Yeah, I remember, but if you told me we'd get DeRozan, I would have preferred to trade with the Clippers and get their 2 draft picks. Who knows, if the Spurs negotiated harder with them, they may have gotten more than 2 first round draft picks. Maybe they did, I don't know.

[kobyz]

Also, now the Clippers have got to deal with Uncle Dennis! Hahaha!!!

Uncle Dennis is one of the greatest human being in the league

[Pavlov]

i never requested the first team change so go ahead and change it to the clips.How did it change the first time?

I guess none of us do tbh.

Open your Webster....

[phxspurfan]

Yeah, I remember, but if you told me we'd get DeRozan, I would have preferred to trade with the Clippers and get their 2 draft picks. Who knows, if the Spurs negotiated harder with them, they may have gotten more than 2 first round draft picks. Maybe they did, I don't know.

PATFO wanted a player like DeMar because he would fill seats and get buckets. They didn't want guys like Lou Williams or whatever because it would have been labeled as a total fail and total rebuild. No ticket sales, and probably lead to Pop's departure.

[Ice009]

It’s been LA for 2 years now and the Clippers for about 1t months. Hasn’t been a secret. Just pay attention to the right people.

I love when you pop up after it happens and claim like you knew this stuff, or had an idea. Did you put any of this on record?

I don't think this is going to end well for the Clippers...I just have a bad feeling about this (for them)...

Yep. It’s their karma.

[gambit1990]

How did it change the first time?
mods changed it after i posted saying i said raps would win it all before the season started.

[spurs10]

I hope Uncle Fester got out of TO before this news hit the street. :madrun

[kobyz]

Kawhi gonna have a lot of fun playing with two great competitors in Patrick Beverley and especially Montrezl Harrell, who is like a man possessed...

[sasaint]

OH man this is the best timeline. Maybe the Lakers want DeRozan now :rollin

Praying Dog meme.

[Nathan89]

I'm quite happy. Both LAL and LAC are beatable. Neither would be easy to defeat of course, and both have or will have some good role-players. But they aren't super teams.

The league is finally in a good place.

[apalisoc_9]

So neph apperrntky been recruiting paul geroge for two weeks now and Geroge formally requested a trade in the proccess.

Thunder wanted to continue with george but didnt want the AD situation to happen with their team.

Nope.

[Pavlov]

mods changed it after i posted saying i said raps would win it all before the season started.Well, you get to brag about that for another year...

[duncan2k5]

I think you are mixing up 'star or superstar level' with 'elite'. Elite is around the top 20%, in any context, NBA included.

Consider that very soon Max level contracts available will be (at least) one per team. There will soon be more max contracts than all-star players in every given year...

Gallinari is just there, one of the top 80. Nothign more, but nothing less. And yes DDR (whom I want gone, btw) is better than Gallo, but overall only slightly.

(Lebron is worse than Gallinari on defense tbh)

OK I see what ur saying... Our wording is just different... I consider players like lebron and Kawhi elite... But ur ranking is that elite is under a star... So in that context, I agree with you

[duncan2k5]

You and I argue about him all the time. But I am actually proud of him tonight. I really am. He went where he wanted without fucking with the competitive balance of the league. So yeah good for him. I’m cool with it.

If he went to the Lakers I honestly would have lost all respect for him... That's how deep seeded my hatred is for the team, the LA media pushing the Lakers narrative, and the creation of these unbearable super teams... The irony is that Kawhi and PG3 should have been teammates if the pacers didn't make that trade... Lol

[slick'81]

Omg can someone post the kawhi iron giant video:lmao

Yep I have no issues whatsoever with the decision that he made. He went to a good team and kept the competitive balance. So I’m good. I am totally good.

Hope not. They have nothing to offer in a trade, all of their picks are going to NO.

[XDT76]

Magic did it for the Lakers, he told Kawhi he is not worth 4 picks. Then the Clippers mortgage their future for him.

[SpurPadre]

To make the asshole Lakers look like victims takes a truly monumental piece of shit and that's Load Management. The biggest piece of shit in NBA history.

It’s still satisfying. Lol they were so confident they were getting him

[timtonymanu]

I'm not even mad at Kawhi anymore ... well honestly I've moved on a long time ago but if he would had joined the Lakers... that's another story.

Good for the Clips :tu

This. Best case scenario for us, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, I hate the Lakers but this fuck just surpassed them in the annals of douchebaggery lol.

[SpurPadre]

How many games missed between George and Load Management?

[LCM]

:clap Magic Johnson - the two men you didn't prioritize by trading for them just screwed over your beloved franchise. You tell KL that the Spurs were asking for too much in a trade and blame rivalry for you just being a cheap SOB thinking every player will just bend over for you and the Lakers ... because you are you and the Lakers are the Lakers?? Nice work Magic!!! Your prioritizing LBJ before you got PG13 in hand drove him to sign in OKC where he was appreciated!! And Jerry West, Lawrence Frank, and Doc Rivers just showed you, Pelinka, Jeannie Buss, and LBJ what it means to recruit and build a team while cutting your BALLZ off!!!

:clap Jeannie Buss - Steve Balmer, BALLZ as you called him in an email, just called ... he's going to enjoy kicking your franchise's ass while he gets his own building in order and then leaves yours desolate!!!

:clap LBJ - your time is over. Face it ... Davis is going to experience free agency next off season, and if you don't bend over for him, you and Rich Paul will be sent packing, he will leave the Lakers, or you both will because the Lakers trade you to get whatever they can to start over in the future!!

KL IS A SNAKE!!! Make no mistake. Will never respect the way he handled himself leaving SA. But the one thing the Spurs can say is yes KL leaving left a dent in the door. But he wasn't able to total the franchise like he just did to the Lakers!!

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

[Uriel]

Spurs fans should be over Kawhi now. Toronto did everything for him. Accommodated his every request. Let him load management all he wanted. Let Uncle Dennis rule the roost. And, they won a freakin' title. And, he walked. He was never going to stay with the Spurs, no matter what the Spurs did for him. So get over him.
Except handle the injury situation correctly and offer the Supermax.

[slick'81]

Well never know the truth U

[Legacy]

.................................................. .................................................. ......​

[SpurPadre]

On another note, this can also be seen as Load Management acknowledging that his title with Toronto is an asterisk title that wouldn't have happened without key injuries to the Dubs.

[Ondrej]

So now even trolls could admit - it was nothing about Spurs attitude, Pop, Parker and injury drama was pretty much exaggerated. It was about selfish autistic with his uncle who didn't care at all about the organization which developed him into the best player in the world. He may win a title or two with the Clippers, but he is not reliable in the long term, he will always do whatever he wants and never put someone else's interests above his own.
Poor Raptors

I guess the reports that KL ''wanted'' to meet with Magic alone weren't totally accurate. Or it was just a tactic to delay the process while Clips were trying to find another star. Regardless, how bad was/is Magic? he can't do anything right with the Lakers.

(Uncle Dennis is a genius, really)

[ironman2886]

I am so freaking happy. Holy shit! I wake up to this news. I wanted Kawhi on the Clippers so bad. F you to the Lakers and Toronto fans.

[Mikeanaro]

He wanted San Diego from the beginning, and will be a corpse there.
Remember, Clips dont have a squad to carry his load management so he will suffer during RS or his team will get a low seed.

[barakz21]

Slightly over nephew and his transgressions because of how he fucked the lakers, despite fucking both the spurs and raptors. Also, fuck him.

Everyone makes mistakes. You love the girl, sometimes you both act stupid, but you apologize and everything moves on, because you need each other. But one day the feelings are gone and you open your eyes in the middle of unpleasant divorce.
The only difference - it was never love from Kawhi's side, just business. He used best coaching staff in the NBA to become best player in the world and left without any regret. And Spurs cared about him

[Ondrej]

Clippers >>>>>>> Lakers now. Not even close.

LeBron gets old (which will happen any second) and they don't even make the playoffs :lol

The Lakers are so bad. They could easily have both Kawhi and George. But of course they are competitors and never wanted to be backup dancers behind Lebron

[tbdog]

So glad it's over. We can move on. Leonard wanted LA. Toronto did everything for him and won the title. So there was not much left we could have done. As for Lakers, sick shit. Their fan base as 90% thinking Leonard was coming and they are cursing his name. Their first signing was KCP lol.

[tbdog]

Also Lakers could have that both PG and Leonard and opted not to trade for them. If LeBron didn't want to network in Hollywood, their team would be shit.

Aging Lebron + injury prone/career loser Davis + Kuzma/Danny and Lakers scrubs. Easily I would take the Clippers roster over that.

[bic50]

Has there ever been an NBA player who has damaged (to varying degrees) so many franchises in such short time? And if he (or Paul George) can't stay healthy, then he may have crippled the Clippers as well. Wow.
The entire league would have been damaged had Kawhi gone to the lakers. Raptors knew the risk they were taking but they got their title so I wouldn’t say they’re “damaged”. I think most around the league fans and organizations alike breathing a sign of relief right now. Plus the clippers seem to be well run. They’ll be fine

[loveforthegame]

Nope. Didn’t see this at all. Freaking crazy.

Checking the Clippers board looks like they might have $14 million in cap space still. Wonder if they snag a player or two before the Lakers dan.

Happy he didn’t go to the Lakers though. F Green for doing so.

[davidbowie]

raptor fans get a small taste of what we got after talking all that "he loves it here, he's staying" bs AND the lakers strike out on him???

that's a win tbh

Clippers have to be favorites now

Lakers have massive egg on their face. That space going towards role players

The Thunder stealth rebuilding knowing they can’t win with Westbrook (look for him to be dumped soon) by getting firsts in all of 2022-2026 (two of those are Miami’s) plus swaps in 2023 & 2025, when both Kawhi and George will be 32 to 36. Plus Gallo who has trade value and Shai who is already better than Russ.

One injury to either Clippers guy and the west is wide open.

[MannyIsGod]

Clippers >>>>>>> Lakers now. Not even close.

LeBron gets old (which will happen any second) and they don't even make the playoffs :lol

I'm not too sure that PG and KL are going to be bastions of durability, though. The Lakers still have AD who should be a force. Lets not forget before what happened in NOLA last year, AD looked like the best player in the league. All things being equal, I'd rather have an old Lebron teamed with KD than KL and PG right now. I know that's an unpopular opinion because he just balled out in the playoffs, but yeah.

Still, Clips team aside from their top 2 is way better than what the Lakers have. But the Clips are one injury away form being pretty fucked themselves.

[MannyIsGod]

Also lol @ Westbrook being moved. Why? The guy loves putting up stats and doesn't really care about winning. Just more triple doubles for him to rack up.

BEST POSSIBLE NEWS. I LIKE IT. Spurs have a chance for the next decade. Paul George doesnt scare me.

[Marcus Bryant]

Crazy environment like this, Spurs might have an opportunity to deal a ‘name’ like DeRozan for a good return.

[jermaine]

Yal can talk that shit all you want but everyone knows everyone DID NOT want Kawhi going to the Lakers. When we saw he signing with Clippers, every other team felt OMG thank God my team now have a chance. Especially Spurs fans. So stop with the BS like that faggot didnt grant your team mercy. He could've chosen Lakers an they could've ran the league for the next 5yrs or so.

[Harry Callahan]

Wow OKC.

Shai is starting PG for a decade, Gallo is still elite, they have a very competent team; with all those picks they can do what they want in the next couple years, trade some for another star or rebuild on the fly, great job Presti.

Well, it seems that trading elite players command multiple first round picks...

Wow OKC. You have had Russell Westbrook, Paul George, James Harden, and Kevin Durant and you only have one of them left. Good job.

[Ron Swanson]

1147415637918212101

[cjw]

Wow OKC. You have had Russell Westbrook, Paul George, James Harden, and Kevin Durant and you only have one of them left. Good job.

As long as Westbrook is your centerpiece, you’re not winning a title. That’s where they miscalculated. Might as well pawn him off now too, though might as well also move the team. Nobody from there is going to go, and the owners are broke or about to be (look at how bad Oklahoma oil & gas has fared vs. Texas)

[spursparker9]

Any news of Raptor fans burning Nephew jersey?

[Marcus Bryant]

Wow OKC. You have had Russell Westbrook, Paul George, James Harden, and Kevin Durant and you only have one of them left. Good job.

:tu oh but they have picks. At some point draft picks and cap space need to pan out.

Clippers
Warriors

OMFG. If George is healthy Clipps are the best team in the NBA

Not the best, but the best defensive team. Pat Beverley guarding you, an Kawhi a George playing help defense. Lawd, help everyone. Harrell in the middle getting rebounds too....

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs are easily better than last year if everyone stays healthy. They will be fine.

Wow OKC. You have had Russell Westbrook, Paul George, James Harden, and Kevin Durant and you only have one of them left. Good job.
And 0 championships.

[MoSpur02]

This made me low-key happy with the result. One is justifying the trade to the Raptors then two is, while he's going to the Los Angeles, atleast it's not the Lakers.

Spurs should've considering dealing with the Clippers and should've ask for more from them.

I posted last season that the Clippers were the Spurs backup plan to Toronto. If Toronto would've backed out a second time then the Clippers would've gotten Kawhi. The Spurs would've had Harris and picks. The Spurs didn't want to see Kawhi four times a year and didn't want to do him and his uncle any favors. I wanted Harris over Derozan because I thought he was a better fit, but understood them choosing Toronto as a trading partner.
