Clips gave up 5 first round picks and 2 players for PG?

Yet no one cares because it’s the clippers.

If LAL gave up too much for AD, what the hell do you make out what the clippers did?

They got PG and Kahwi with this trade, not just AD

They were getting kawhi regardless. He was never going back to Toronto

They did it to get KL.

They would’ve given that package for Chris Paul if it meant getting Leonard

He told them to get PG and he will come. That was the hold up

Well PG still has like 3 years left on his contract even though the last year is an PO. And I can see clippers being better than the Lakers with an aging LeBron for the next 6 years

Doesn’t sound like he would have gone to the clippers without the PG deal

Its a gamble.

As long as kawhi is healthy those #1s are guys like kevon looney (injured ucla star who healed ) and at best really young eastern euros who need to fill out and are late bloomers.

The last couple could be regretted. Edit. I see two #1 are miami.
So only 3 of clippers

But the clippers are must see and the favorite.

It is a lot. But you do it every single time if it means KL is coming.

It makes sense now why it took so long. Clips probably had been negotiating with OKC the last few days.

100% Agree. This board has all about how lakers got screwed in the trade. Fact is this trade was for one player and signed another in free agency. And Clippers depend on draft picks way more than the Lakers do.

Raptors were trying to get Westbrook to keep KL

Clippers called the Pelicans about Holiday & Washington about Beal before the George deal was done.

Clips gonna get a ring out of this deal for sure. But i dont think this was a terrible deal for OKC at all. It will take a few years, but they will be just fine in yhe future

most teams aren’t as lucky as the pelicans and win the lottery of lotteries twice.

The clippers landed an MVP talent and one that played like an mvp for about a 1/3 of 2018/19.

But they kept most of their young assets. Lakers gutted damn near their entire team.

Long term you have to like LAC’s position over the Lakers.

Though I don’t think PG is the best complimentary player to put next to Kawhi, it certainly gives them a ton of juice

Ramona reported that Kawhi’s camp asked the Lakers to try and hold off on the AD trade until at least Sunday with the implication being that if the Clippers couldn’t pull off a PG trade, he would sign with the Lakers.

So it sounds like Kawhi had no intention of going back to Toronto. He was playing in L.A, the question was which team. His first choice was the Clippers, The Lakers were the backup plan
