[GreatHILL]

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Interesting tandem for sure.

[oh the horror]

LA basketball is about to be something else. Who did the Clips give up?

[305Baller]

Two good LA teams, competing against each other? James vs Kawhi? Excellent.


HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

BRAN BOOZLED!!!

[sdot_thadon]

:wtf: Holy shit, didn't see that coming. at. all.

i love the nba but seriously :biggums: clippers???

[oh the horror]

So....what happens to Westbrook?

[sdot_thadon]

So....what happens to Westbrook?
the lonely kid in the corner.

[NBAGOAT]

All praise the clippers front office. Paul George was basically too 3 most of the year last year and a perfect sidekick to a star

[sdot_thadon]

If they didn't lose pat bev in that deal the perimeter defense will be one of the best ever on paper at least.

[Hotlantadude81]

the lonely kid in the corner.

Westbrook should leave.

[Callystarr]

Clippers gave up way too much.

[RoseCity07]

Dude list the players involved. I want to know whot the Clippers traded.

[Smoke117]

So....what happens to Westbrook?

If he's still on the Thunder this season? He chucks up 30 shots a game...to average 30 points a game. It's going to be real ugly.

[Embers]

If they didn't lose pat bev in that deal the perimeter defense will be one of the best ever on paper at least.

99% sure it will be Gallinari + Gilgaeous-Alexander + draft picks

[NBAGOAT]

The trade is shai, gallo, 4 unprotected firsts, 1 protected, 2 pick swaps

[Embers]

Actually confirmed on nba.com

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the LA Clippers have acquired All-NBA swingman Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for a package of draft picks, along with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari.

[oh the horror]

99% sure it will be Gallinari + Gilgaeous-Alexander + draft picks



That

[KOBEtherealKing]

Rival gone be lit but Lakers could be screwed post lebron. Should try to sign giannis in a few years tbh :facepalm

OKC?? What are they thinking

[Callystarr]

[QUOTE=oh the horror]That

[RoseCity07]

Damian Lillard really sent OKC into a rebuild:roll: :roll:

OWNEDKC

[oh the horror]

I mean its still just Kawhi and George...Patrick Beverly is a mediocre point guard.

This puts them top 4 in the WEST.



They essentially have the same team from last season plus Leonard and PG now?

Or are multiple players on that team now free agents? They looked pretty damn scrappy in the playoffs WITHOUT any star players dude.

They improve on both ends, no doubt.
You lost Gallo who is an amazing shooter, and Alexander who shot lights out in the playoffs.

Pickups on both ends. Because of their bench I don't think that automatically puts them on top.

Paul George is my favorite player, he is a STREAKY shooter, Kawhi will be Kawhi...this is an upgrade but this team is beatable.

this team play the Warriors in 6....and now they just add The Finals MVP and PG......They will be favor to come out of the west.

Better than the Lakers, that's enough

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

OKC?? What are they thinking
Presti knows they have 0 chance w/ that payroll and Westbrick on the team. If he's smart (which he is) AND non-sentimental (which he may not be...), he'll trade Russ this offseason too.

[Callystarr]

Better than the Lakers, that's enough

I'm glad he chose Clippers, I just think it is at a high cost but we will see. After reviewing more in depth I'd say they are top 3.

but the west is loaded...who the hell knows

[oh the horror]

Their perimeter defense should be a sight to behold though.

How many first round pick and overall first pick Clippers screwed up previously?

Now here is a real all star, it worth everything.

When you have Leonard and PG, the picks won't worth much because they will be a playoff team.

They may not win it in the end, but I am so happy that Clippers are relevant finally, and Lebron's team going to suck again.

I'm not disagreeing, its just something to watch for.

PG is my favorite player in the NBA but his chemistry with other players is always questionable... His shooting is questionable, and his consistency is questionable...however, his defense is always there.

He is a career 43% shooter, its nothing to write home about. He is popular and he is a hard worker but he is STREAKY which has been his problem in the playoffs. Like I said Clippers improved most certainly...there are 6 teams in the western conference that can beat this clippers squad on any given day...

That’s just it though. The Lakers are right up there too


Basically LA has two teams in the mix dude.

[GreatHILL]

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


westbrook is the next one to be traded.

[Callystarr]

[QUOTE=oh the horror]That

[oh the horror]

I feel like the Clippers are better than the Lakers.

Offensively they have the edge, but defensively Clippers are strong. Clippers will be top 3 in defense.



The Clips are better yes. If this was a younger Lebron then maybe.

17th season Lebron? No chance. He especially needed Kawhi.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

[QUOTE=oh the horror]That

[Smoke117]

lol, more like almost there. LAL is easily outclassed by LAC, Den, and Utah. Not even sure I'd consider LAL better than Portland, Houston, or even SAS (LW4 and Dajounte about to blow up. Keldon in a couple years will follow suit). Shit, NOP > LAL? AD and Kuzma are real nice. But the rest of the roster is a 34 y/o LeBron, Danny Green, and tablescraps so far. Only dummies and plebs truly think LAL will be contenders.

I may be convinced otherwise if they get Marcus Morris...uhh...I guess that's about it. Cousins is a cancer and wont help them. Rondo is really the only PG available? Man...gonna be ugly.

lol right...because LeBron isn't still a top 10 player in the league or anything regardless if he's 34 or not. Don't be a moron.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

lol right...because LeBron isn't still a top 10 player in the league or anything regardless if he's 34 or not. Don't be a moron.
Dude, we all saw his decline on D. Of course he's a great player, but he's no longer what he used to be. Even you said "Top 10" rather than "Top 1", like he was just 2 years ago.

I mean, OKC had 2 Top 10ish players and a better roster than what LAL has now and look how they did. You really expect LAL to be a contender as they're constructed now?

You need more than table scraps to supplement your stars. This year's Finals was indisputable evidences of that.

[oh the horror]

Is Rondo really all that

lol you went out of your way to say Davis and Kuzma (wtf lol he's not even top 50 in the league) and then said a 34 year old LeBron like he's garbage. Make up your mind. Also, Westbrick wasn't close to being a top 10 player in the league this past season.

I said Kuzma is nice. Am I wrong? But keep strawmanning me, it's cool.

I mean, I won't say what I think of Westbrook. But who are your Top 15 current NBA players? Don't base it off of just last season alone. Cuz who actually does that lol?

Westbrook has been on a clear slide these past two seasons and is going to turn 31 in november. He's clearly lost a step now.

[Foster5k]

Clippers basically gave up everything and the kitchen sink to get Paul George. It was a clear deal breaker for Kawhi. Either you get me Paul George or I'm headed back to the North.

Kawhi is an idiot. I hate to say that but he is. He talks about wanting load management yet he's going to be carrying most of the load with the Clippers. Paul George is a second fiddle. He's the very definition of a Robin. Robin can't do shit on his own.

Kawhi is going to regret this shit lol. He deserves it. Pretty much quit on the Spurs and left a championship Toronto team to move to L.A. Next season is going to be a nightmare for him

Not to mention, the Lakers will be just fine. Lebron / AD / Kuz enough to win the west without KD and Klay on the Warriors.

Dumb move by Kawhi. Enjoy carrying that load big boy. No games off for you. :lol

Lol, what? Were you fighting off tears while typing this?

Future-wise, they gave up a lot through picks. But as for the present team?

They were basically the deepest team in the league, and lose one player from that depth, if that. Their core of Bev, Lou & Harrell remains in tact.

Here's the bottom line-

Out: Shai, Galo

In: Kawhi, George

As a Raptors fan, seeing/hearing anyone call Kawhi, Robin is an outright joke. Best player in the f*ucking world right now with the biggest set of balls to boot.

I'm assuming you're a Lakers fan? lolol

AD hasnt done shit either.. He has only made the playoffs twice.. He played with A SUPERSTAR in COUSINS and Rondo as well as Holiday and they still were middle of the pack.. TODAYs NBA is about PERIMETER PLAYERS.. AD doenst move the needle as much a great perimeter player.. Plus he is soft.. How many times did you see DRAYMOND Green shut him down in 2018..

Dray cant defend Kawhi, Lebron, or even PG13

How much help does Kawhi need? Dude finished 3rd in MVP voting...

[step_back]

NOBODY.. Meanwhile the LAKErs gave up everyone for AD.. Lakers management was stupid giving up so much for AD.. They should have kept Lonzo.. He could actually defend..

They lost out on PG because they thought they could land him in free agency. The Lakers would've been stupid to risk that happening again with AD. Just get the guy now. They also just signed Green which is a good fit for them and they can always pick up vets throughout the season. Some players get traded by teams purely to get bought out for cap relief and you can always find gems in the G- League (Siakam was a g-league player) People are making out that the lakers are going to be playing 4v5 basketball or something :confusedshrug:

[imdaman99]

Feel for my man Russ :(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzKxNXRZToA

This is his life. I guess the perks of showing loyalty to a small market team that keeps falling short :(

[qrich]

A bit of an overpay, especially since I'm a Shai stan, but it is what it is. Now, we need to keep Green

[GimmeThat]

in most aspects, this in conference trade is indicating the East is leading the free agency

[qrich]

It would be cool if he signed with the Clippers.

No, no, no.

Do not want.

[FireDavidKahn]

Clippers gave up way too much.
:oldlol:

Clips just added 2 superstars while only giving up SGA and a few picks that will be non lottery.:oldlol:

Kawhi wasn't going to the Clips but changed his mind once they got PG.

Essentially this trade for PG was a trade for both him and Kawhi.

Exactly.

If this was a stand alone trade, I'd be pissed. Esp since I believe Shai has franchise changing potential.

But no PG, no Kawhi

[oh the horror]

So word is that PG ASKED for a trade.



I thought he was all good with Russ and OKC?

[coin24]

This is a gigantic win for the clippers, anyone saying they paid too much is a fool.. when an opportunity like this arises you pull the trigger!!

Not like Danny ainge. He who hesitates, m@sturbates:cheers:


Same with the lakers getting rid of some young core, you swap that shit for AD ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

Nobody wants to play with Russ if it's playing in OKC as opposed to LA. PG had his taste, can't win with nobody else capable of shooting in this current NBA on your team.

Kawhi is an idiot. I hate to say that but he is. He talks about wanting load management yet he's going to be carrying most of the load with the Clippers. Paul George is a second fiddle. He's the very definition of a Robin. Robin can't do shit on his own.

Kawhi is going to regret this shit lol. He deserves it. Pretty much quit on the Spurs and left a championship Toronto team to move to L.A. Next season is going to be a nightmare for him

Not to mention, the Lakers will be just fine. Lebron / AD / Kuz enough to win the west without KD and Klay on the Warriors.

Dumb move by Kawhi. Enjoy carrying that load big boy. No games off for you. :lol

If Clippers lose to Mavs, you were right on the money!

He is right. No need to wait. Clippers ain't supposed to struggle against the MAVS. Weren't they the favorites to win it all?
