This deserves every bad thing that ever happens to him.
OKC with potential to add Flagg and also future lottery pick from LAC...
Look like OKC will remains as the Spurs killer during Wemby's era.
This deserves every bad thing that ever happens to him.
With Harden and, say, 45-50 games of Kawhi, that floor is pretty high. I DGAF if they flame out in the playoffs, just that they get there.
Clippers aren’t cursed, they’re just stupid.
Where's the link/source? I wanted to read the article.
what an awful trade lol. This is why I hate when the media hypes of players like Tatum or Paul George. It overvalues them and makes dumb owners make ridiculous offers.

The Clippers just got a 2billion new home. I doubt Balmer let them tank.
Any chance Balmer says “**** it” and trades for Brandon Ingram or Zach Lavine? He seems the type to spoil OKC’s lottery plans just cause.
Balmer is the type who wants to stick it to the Lakers. He’ll buy every player available.
Nah I don’t believe the OKC will get a lottery pick off Clips’ pick if Balmer can do something about it.
Why didn’t he buy Paul George, then?
I think the Clips tried but the Sixers came with a sweet offer, plus playing with Embiid, Maxxey, Paul thought, could get him to a ring. Personally I’d leave Kawhi’s drama too
It's hard not to feel vindictively, self-righteously satisfied at this guy having a bad time lol. Still can't believe he and Uncle engineered that crazy exit from a storied, mostly still well-run organization.
But things happen for a reason. Kawhi is old before his time as politics wreck his team, and we are overbearingly young and possibly talented, with seemingly none of them being knuckleheads.
Had to go through some things to start getting to the good . The Spurs' story since Kawhi left has been setting up '13 to '14, a major setback into what looks like a major comeback just ahead.
I wonder if Pop will travel to Los Angeles to chastise the Clippers fans when they start booing Kawhi?
Kawhi is a mess, but a rich one. Probably about done at this point. I don’t see him ever coming back at full strength.
He’s milked millions of dollars out of these teams and hardly played the last few years, and really never significantly in the post season. He’s truly an autistic genius. The epitome of the idiot savant.
Nah PG13 wanted the contract they just gave Kawhi and they told him no so he walked.
Poor kawhai
Yeah, I think the Clippers are going to be bad if Kawhi misses major time, but there is no way they are gonna be bad enough for a top 3 pick.
Obviously some crazy lottery luck could happen
Dude still collecting checks from that time he dragged Toronto to a championship on one leg five years ago
Balmer's such a dip buying a team that LA will never give a about and then building a new arena there. Would have been way better off moving them back to San Diego or to Seattle where he could have a real fanbase.
Coulda swore I read that they offered the same contract as Kawhi which was a little less than the max but PG wanted the full max and LAC refused
he could be lying, but PG said in one of his podcasts that he told them to just give him what kawhi got and they declined
Iirc some reports said it was about the length of the deal Clippers offered.
Apparently Spurs were also interested, but had no intention of offering an injury prone 34 year old a long deal.
I recall they initially declined. Then after months of negotiation. Clippers agreed. But now it felt cheap so he didn't take it
You guys are trying too hard in playing 4D chess with worrying about the Thunder. I will worry about the Thunder the moment the Spurs become a contender. Thunder is a loaded team but the way the cap is eventually they will lose some of those players they have once they are off the rookie contract.
As for Kawhi the media and casual fans are starting to find out that he's a toxic asset which is something we found out way back in 2018. It just took them 6 years to find out due to them slurping him back then in hopes he would become a Laker.
What a ing fleece by Nephew and Uncle Dennis. You gotta hand it to them, got everything they ever wanted these last 5-6 years tbh
