Kawhi AND Paul George to...Clippers:WOJ(merged threads)

[Ogaju]

This could not work out better for Celtics fans. Clippers get two superstars and begin a battle of LA. The Lakers got a max spot to spend on hardly anyone.

The West goes through LA Clippers. Watch out.

I wouldn’t sleep on the Jazz. They got a lot done this offseason. Should be a heck of a competition.

Fakers going to have Danny Green - wonder if they’ll sign Mook Morris.

yeah they just paid Danny Green 15 million/yr perhaps they give Mook the other 15 million. lol

Who's "anyone"? Who's even left? Who'll even be available next free agency? The Fakers screwed up big time, and are desperate, if the overpaying of Danny Green didn't make that obvious.

Hopefully the Lakers have another dysfunctional season and Davis bails on LeBron next summer. That would be truly amazing.

I d like that too but AD the klutch client  is not going to let LBJ hanging like that

Kawhi scored a trifecta....he made his new team better by getting PG, he made the Lakers weaker by stringing them along until all good assets were taken, and he got his buddy Danny Green paid. Well done!!

Well...I at least got this one right, even if I got so much of the rest of this off-season wrong.

OKC acquired THREE unprotected first-round picks from the Clippers in this trade (2022, 2024 and 2026), league sources say, PLUS two firsts from Miami (2021 unprotected and 2023 protected 1-to-14) ... AND the right to swap picks with the Clips in 2023 and 2025. Staggering

@TheSteinLine

Don't forget that the Thunder will also acquire Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari n the trade along with all of those draft assets ... because Oklahoma City was essentially trading Paul George AND Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers

[Ogaju]

Shocking

How do you pull these deals without a LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Kawhi had all the leverage and supposedly put out word that if anyone leaked info it would hurt their chances.

So Kawhi is actually the new Godfather. 

He kept his word because CLIPPERS are the only ones that did not leak. Cowherd even talked about it on his show. He said it was weird that the Clippers were eliminated when they were the only ones that did not leak at all. I guess they were not eliminated after all.

Jesus, what a great haul. That 2021 Miami pick could top 8.

Now Kawhi Leonard is Toronto Raptors' public enemy #1 for stringing them too, making them impatient and all.

Incredible pick package just like the Lakers package...

[nickagneta]

So happy for Doc. Now after the Clippers win their first championship, Doc will cement his legacy as a Hall of Fame coach.

[Ogaju]

Is Sam Presti a Celtic fan?

[ozgod]

Whats even more hilarious is that the Lakers had the chance to pursue both players in trade, PG13 in 2017 and Kawhi in 2018, and they held off because they arrogantly assumed both players would just come to them in free agency and they didn't want to waste assets on them...instead they eventually do go to LA, but to the team across the city 

[JSD]

What a glorious day to be an NBA fan.

Now reason for them to be mad.  He won the Raptors a title that they had no chance to get without him.  They can go into rebuild mode now.
