I think they'd have a much better chance of winning with AD than with the guys they traded. 

By a long shot. 

OK that's obvious, my point is that without the AD trade, IMO they would still be big favorites, and with AD they would be locks for the title caring any major injuries. I would be ok with being big favorites instead of locks if that mean we get to keep young, cheap talent (Hart and Hunter), trading chips (Ingram and Ball) and future picks and still get AD next summer.

If we were to F*ck over AD like that , I doubt he'd sign here next year

[beatlesrule]

Lakers aren't backing out of the trade. LOL

[tennischmp]

If Kawhi doesn’t sign by the start of free agency period tomorrow I don’t think he will be coming here. Why would he just lose out on 11 million because of his indecisiveness?

Good point

Sorry guys. 

 

[Lou]

lol at the OG story 

[beatlesrule]

Pg-13 also traded to the Clippers. This came out of nowhere. This whole process has been so freakin weird.

[UndertheHalo]

Oh shit they got Paul George also.  RiP Jeannie. lol.

Weatherwonk is pretty bad at his basketball predictions as well.

Sources: Oklahoma City is getting a massive package of future picks, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Galllinari, to deliver Kawhi Leonard who he wanted to partner with: Paul George. https://t.co/4bGpMNat8K

I don’t know basketball well at all.  So how long does the Clip show have George for ?

hehe massive package

[tennischmp]

Oh well, hopefully they planned ahead and can sign some players before trading for AD. 

[beatlesrule]

LOL!

Stephen A Smith and Redditman say he's joining the lakers.

 

Lets go Clippers!!!!

Let’s go clippers!!

[tennischmp]

Boggie next?

I actually don’t like the Paul George trade. That’s a whole lot of assets to give up for someone who hasn’t really done much in the playoffs (though he was probably hurt all of 2019 until he had surgery).  

Granted if you don’t make that trade then kawhi may not come, so I get it 

[Rico]

Lakers still second fiddle to the Clippers!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Galllinari and FOUR 1st round picks 

[beatlesrule]

I believe the Thunder gets 5 first rounders.

[m0nkey]

Yeah the only way to rationalize it as a clippers fan is seeing it as a trade for kawhi and George.
