Exclusive Kawhi to the Clippers

ok then, so far, the Lakers have spent 27M on Danny Green, KCP, and Javale McGee. That should have cost 18-20M, tops

they've got 3-5M left, then the room-MLE

 

All 2 year deals. Same as the knicks are doing.

I think they deal LeBron before 2021.

 

If they are underwhelming next season and AD leaves... oh boy. Didn't take long for that deal that deal to look worse. Also why are they overpaying those guy to 2 years and not just 1 ? They just fucked their capspace for next offseason. I guess you can luck into Lebron and AD but you can't magically stop being terrible at building a roster... Thank you Kawhi for not rewarding those turd sandwiches

 

I imagine Pelinka seing the news off Kawhi signing, being stunned for a few seconds then rapidely rustling through papers of free agent names saying "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck"

 

On another note, East vs West becomes more and more of a joke each years

 

I wonder if all those reports about Kawhi’s camp telling teams not to say anything is because they all knew LAC was choice number one if they worked out a trade, and the Lakers / Raptors knew they were both close on his list but if they leaked anything they would get dropped.

 

Would it have been better if he had tanked/lost and then left? I think Kawhi is awesome. Gets traded for 1 year in a city he doesn’t want to play in but wins them a title anyway.

 

They will be fine. Siakim will make another leap. Raps were 17-5 without Kawhi last year.

 

And turned down money too!

 

Don’t count out Philly.

 

According to espn, a trade of George, Westbrook to the Raptors to play with Leonard was on the table. Ujiri turned it down. OKC wanted Siakam in return.
OKC is desperate to get ride of Westbrook. I believe he ends up in Miami.

 

Woj had a followup saying Toronto was just used as leverage to get more assets from LA.

 

Now who signs on with the Clips?

Rondo?
Bradley? (after buyout)
Morris?
Cousins?

Not sure of the cap space they have left but it wouldn't surprise me to see them pick up some solid vets for cheap.

 

OKC did good; they got a lot more back than they paid for the guy. Toronto, not so good.

 

Toronto got a championship. They did better than OKC did on their PG rental.

 

So Clippers three best players are all the same size and play the same position? Harrell. If they could put Lou as a starter and get Rondo they would be way above the cross court rivals.

 

Best part, L*kers aren’t even favorites I’m their division.

 

Not close...lol.
