As a Raptors fan, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the vindication of the "If Kawhi wanted more championships, we should have stayed in Toronto" take.
I'm grateful to Kawhi , but I don't want to see him win anything after leaving the raps. I'm glad how everythings worked out for kawhi and the clips.
Kawhi wouldn't have won anymore with the Raptors either, had he stay. It's not like his body will magically get better up north as opposed to him broken down in his home town. His body just can't handle playing bball at that level anywhere he goes.
Hater alert 🚨
@@audience7264 Grand scheme of things, I think the Raptors would have had trouble in the 22 season.
Considering how close they were to making it back to the finals in the bubble and OG as a sixth man, they could have gotten 1 more before the Raptors would have had to start the rebuild.
@@audience7264 yeah you're probably right. I think it's a miracle he went off for the raps and didn't blow his knee out. He has been constantly injured now and will be every season , Clippers are trash , but so are my raps. Difference is I've watched my raps win a championship
One thing for sure now. If Philly can’t win with George on their team. The Embiid era will be over.
It's do or die now
Especially since PG is 34 now who knows how good he’ll be over the next few years. I say at minimum they have to get to ecf. And hopefully a chip in 2 years.
It is over for years
No Tobias H. so is chill the curse is over
Also for sure: sky is blue
Klay somewhere licking his lips and rubbing his hands after hearing this😂😂😂😂
My mavs better not be in the mix no more😂. Maximum $25mil/yr, and that's pushing it lol. Any more than that and it's an L
@@jjcometa93333 years 50m
@@jjcometa9333damn..
Embiid and pg on the same team is a perfect match. Both are injury prone, and there are both playoff choke artists. Second round exit.😂
With that injury history they’ll be lucky to make the second round to begin with
I’m saying 💀
Pg is washed but goes to work on almost every game not like kawhi
@@alitoroganan2442 I mean what u expect from a player that keeps getting injured
Facts 😂
The clippers trade for PG has to go down as one of the worst in history
It was a gamble and it was reasonable. It didn't work out.
@@kepeneklistop - people didn't say that about the LAL trade and I think now it's been proven LAL won that trade.
@@kepenekliNo. It was bad foresight. PG13 chokes. Plus Kawhi/George are injury prone guys playing the same position and dont fit. Trading the farm was a big mistake
Edit: people say Tatum/Brown are similar. Nope. Brown is really a SG and Tatum a SF. Both were drafted, so the team didn't have to sacrifice anything and still get Porzingis and Holiday, which is why they won ring.
Were you walking to your fridge in the middle of the night and saw this news drop? 😂
Lol nah, I was up getting ready to go to bed then saw it drop
Ain’t nobody worried about no playoff p. 76ers would be crazy to pay him
the clippers being the clippers, as always
When the sixer hired Doc rivers 2-3 years ago, some clips fans came and warned of the risks on Doc. Sixers fans laughed at them and said its Kawhi and PG that let Doc down. We all knew what happens to Doc in his sixer’s disastrous tenure.
Now PG sign for the sixer. Again some clipper fans came and warned of PG’s weakness (low basketball IQ, injuries, playoff underperformance, etc) and question the prices they paid for him. The same group of sixers fans come and make fun of them, saying that it’s because Morey is so “ smart” in luring him away from the clips.
Here’s a question to all the sixer fans: Steve ballmer is the richest nba owner and has paid 2B to build a new arena. If you see a man of such wealth level and commitment to the team chooses not to pay PG an extra year of 50-60m and even let the player walk out for free without compensation, do you smell anything wrong?
This needs to be pinneddd 🔥📠✅
Morey is a moron and I wish he would have been fired after back to back years of complete failure. I wasn't a fan of this trade when it was being discussed but as a sixers fan now that it happened I'm gonna rock with it for now and just hope for the best.
Its both. Doc rivers sucks and PG disappears in postseason
clippers lucked out, they shouldn't be paying this dude 200+ million dollars.
Facts they upgraded
Yeah that’s true but man that OKC trade with Shai is making the Clippers’ front office look like it’s run by elementary students 💀
@beebbeec280 how did they upgrade? They have a hurt Kawhi and a playoff choker in James Harden....
PG more deserving than kawhi if we being honest. If only one had to get a max PG was the guy
Right, and they should pay kawhi more to sit on the bench while PG gets all the blame??? I'm so fucking tired of people hating PG unneccesarily. lmfao as a clippers fan I hope philly wins the championship next year go get it PG!
If the Clippers can get DeRozan, that basically fills the hole that Paul George left. Bad part of this is not that PG left, but that they got nothing back. Btw, the Clippers’ future was already looking bleak with all the picks they still owe to OKC, but now their present is looking a bit worse as well. Good luck Clipper fans, rough time over there
Bro, we are so cooked 😂
"Fans"
Clippers could have sga and so many young prospects if theyd never gotten George Paul
if the clipper never traded for PG they wouldn't have gotten kawhi
So one injury prone playoff choker is off to join another injury prone playoff choker in Philadelphia lol. This should be interesting
PG on the clippers weren’t going anywhere. No point in locking that in for another 4 years and at that point, no one will want to trade for him. best to let him walk, get under that 2nd apron and having the flexibility to move forward.
The best thing would be to have never traded for PG at all. Now they're cooked for the rest of this decade
The trade that got pg is there biggest mistaken
I don't understand how the Sixers can afford to give Maxie, Embiid, and George max contracts while the Bulls struggle to stay under the luxury tax with DeRozan, LaVine, and Vucevic. It don't add up!
You forgot Lonzo was making over 20 million
Celtics paying everyone got me confused as well
@@Terrybulll they are already well over the 2nd apron
Clippers doing Clipper things.
One gm away from reaching WCFs even up in all 3 close out gms in 2020. Reaching WCFs in 2021 for the 1st time ever.
Sorry but for the Clips that is their best 2 yr period ever in their existence.
Which is depressing.
The Clippers 3-1 lead in 2020 was the peak of their franchise lol
@@vulcanraven9701 Amen. They had no peak.
Long live the Clippers Curse.
Prime reason why you should never let a player no matter how good they are try to bully management by saying I'm not going to sign unless you get me this player. Players should play that's it.
I feel bad for Philly's medical staff lol they got their work cut out for them
Yeah but they got job security 😅
I think the Clippers messed up more when they resigned Harden
Tbf no one was willing to sign him. That's why he only got that 2 yr deal
Harden was the best player on the clippers😂
@@stopplaying6605no the most consistent was zu... Harden bummed out at the end
@@imperfect756 harden carried the load game 1, 3 and 4 meanwhile he’s supposed to be the 3rd option. PG and Russ let them down by shot tour dates the entire series. Look at the money 76ers just gave PG.
@@stopplaying6605cant blame russ for the last game... He only played like 9 minutes. Im not saying george is better or more consistent, harden if he can be consistent in points and assists then yes is an asset, but if not then his defense may hinder even more... In the sense be was not able to what i saw keep up with footwork and got blown by. His go to is attempting to take charge and that usually ended up to be an easy bucket.
The Clippers aren't a championship team with PG either.
There is no point in getting stuck with PG's 4 year max contract.
exactly and that's what people dont understand. In fact, its going to be proven that they are a better team this year without him than with him barring injury. You already see the roster moves Clips have been making so far. PG will most likely be the downfall of the 6er's post season im calling it out now. The guy laid an egg this year and all he had to do was show up for 2 more games, they couldve beaten Dallas without Kawhi.
I had high hopes for the Clippers after they made the WCF in 2021, too bad they never got it together.
The Clippers duo was never great tbh. In 2021 they kinda lucked out playing the OK jazz and the pre-prime mavericks. In 2020 we all know how that went already.
The duo was always a questionable fit. Two forwards on max contracts who cant pass & have injury history..and they gave up way too much to get PG
Shai developing with kawhi teaching in the clippers is a huge missed opportunity.
Unfortunately, Kawai wanted a star with him, he wasn’t coming to the clippers without a star so that would’ve never happened. It was either get Paul George or Kawai was not coming. That was the problem and the deal. It was a package deal, or Kawhi would’ve went elsewhere
I'm waiting for The Legacy of Failure Video.
Clippers need to relocate at this point
In recent its pretty clear that luck is 50% of the key to winning, you have to be lucky to stay healthy all year and through the playoffs. Injuries more than anything have decided a whole lot of playoff series as well as championships in recent memory.
Indeed. I've been a fan of bball since the Bird/Magic years as a youngling. More often than not, injuries to star players is the determining factor to who is the last team standing.
As a clipps fan, it was time to look at a different direction. Paul George so inconsistent, glad clippers didn't budge
Yeah, but now what?
as a clippers fan I will miss him dearly. He has done more than Kawhi for us and has a way more likeable personality. I don't blame our franchise for letting him go because I'd leave myself if I see my number 1 player on my team always on the bench and the fans somehow give all the blame to me lmfao....
I just don’t get why the clippers get so much hate, every time they do something and it doesn’t work out it gets overblown, why?… they’re a great team, I love watching them, every team has done deals that don’t work, but the hate towards the clippers is unreal.
Kawhi should of just signed and played with SGA(Shay) . They would be in a better position.
Flippers being the Flippers 😂😂😂
🎯
Didn’t pg had problems with doc rivers?
Plus having theis and plumlee still helps with your big man game and theis can play pf too. Since no draft picks they should be watching for waivers and snag a few in hopes for help/get younger or these guys play well then they can flip for assets too
Of course SGA's career ascension makes it all look worse, but at the time if you got a chance to get Kawhi fresh off of a Finals MVP and top league player talks AND All-Star PG not many would've turned it down
Most of the decisions and injuries since then are what have kept the Clippers cursed
Best moment from that trade was Palmer dancing around celebrating the trade.
LA Clippers for some reason will do anything for Kawhi. They were so into Kawhi they even attended Toronto games just to watch him. He was there undoing. They did everything to make him happy, giving away there draft picks, and players.
@@ramd9532 At that time Kawhi seemed to be the best player in the NBA. They have become relevant with Kawhi. It would have been different if not for the injuries.
@@kepeneklidoubt it. They blew a 3-1 lead to a Fetus nuggets team. The West Conference has improved since then
I don't know why kawhi gets paid but never plays every game not like pg
Maybe the clippers should trade Kawhi to the Spurs 😂
Image if the Cripples had trade them for LaVine and DeRozan, or just DeRozan and keep Paul George instead. Basically a better version of this team healthier and with more cap space.
Thunder won that PG trade and man oh man I want PG to join my pacers but oh well him going to the Sixers will be deadly. This free agency sure is hectic
I doubt the 76ers will do much with 2 injury prone players. The human body don't magically get better as we age.
@@audience7264yeah you probably right on that
5:30 LMAO Luka in that clip
Seeing the Flippers fall will always make me smile 😂
Kawhi should have stayed in Toronto
I heard PG wants a no trade clause, so sign and trade wouldn’t even be possible
I think the 76rs should have used the money to build a good core of reliable role players around their two stars. Adding PG won't make them a Championship caliber team.
As for the Clippers, the best thing they could do right now is to go on a sale for Leonard and Harden and try to get some picks ot young players. But since they don't want to do that since they have a new home they want to pack, try and do a sign and trade with PG and try to get DeRozan in a sign and trade as well. That way, they won't lose too much.
Its the clippers , whos surprised?
Signing Leonard was a mistake. He only was going to sign with them if they got George and look at what they gave up to do so. Both players have been massive failures for the Clippers.
Clippers will stay as the little sisters of la
That is a good signing for them. Maxey getting a vet. Embiid dominating the paint. I still don’t think they’ll win the east though. Boston and Knicks still better. The best that will come from this is a second round exit. Mark my words! 🙂 As soon as lazy eyes embiid looked over at him in the playoffs i knew this was gonna happen
Its the clippers what did people expect
Choking, and injuries.
PG really left the Clippers to do the same shit with the 76ers. Mans has the bag now but over 50 mil a year is not it 💀💀💀
PG is an inefficient iso scorer and needs a proper system to maximize his potential, but the Clippers just wants to kiss Ty Lue's butt. Lue's max extension was the final nail in the coffin for them.
This clown of an FO just essentially traded PG for Harden! PG is in a much better place now playing for Nick Nurse, while the Clippers' championship window is now completely closed. There's no coming back for them.
You said that they won’t be a championship team even if they sign Derozan and all they had to do was keep PG. I think its quite obvious they werent a championship level team with PG by looking at their track history. On top of that you said yourself they were middle of the pack for the west.
The Clippers big mistake was giving Kawhi the keys and then extending him even though he can't play in the postseason. Harden was a last gasp to try and keep the hope alive... and as usual he ENDED the winning lol
Did they not watch Pg this last playoffs? 19 points on 41% from the field is atrocious
idk how clippers messed up when he was injured, couldn’t win, and we didn’t have enough money to match $212 million
letting him walk was the right move in my clippers fan opinion
Maybe cuz y'all gave up 5 firsts, 2 pick swaps, & Shai to get him only to have never made the finals & be stuck with an aging injury prone core?
@@randomnerd2332i'd rather just admit defeat on this era and start moving in a younger direction than keep investing in this era and keep losing. philly can have that $212 million dollar contract every day of the week
@@randomnerd2332
Would getting stuck with 4 year max contract to 34 year old PG correct that?
To my knowledge, the only s&t deal they had on the table was the warriors trade, which yeah is some compensation back but I hardly think is the difference between "really messed this up" and not messing it up.
The Clippers were cooked regardless of what they did tbh.
What makes it embarassing though is how much they gave up for PG13 & how he left for nothing in return.
Clippers fo really didn't accept warriors trade package of jk, wiggins, moodey and rather let pg walk for free LOL. What a joke of a FO
Balmer the owner with a net worth of 130 billion got cheap and now the Clippers are finished.... At least George doesn't get injured every year like Kawhi.
PG GAVE UP TOO EARLY IN THE PLAYOFFS.
Clippers coulda shoulda woulda. If I were them I would have let go of Leonard → build around George
2021 was there window, and ofc Kawhi got injured
Paul George’s game is absolutely beautiful but the NBA is not a beauty pageant.
Yawn
Lakers. As bad as it is for the Clippers at least they are a middle of the pack playoff team whereas the Lakers are Play-in team at best. If the NBA draft is any sign of the current state of the Lakers front office then they will likely give Lebron the crazy max number I have seen floated around. Worse yet, if they bring in Klay Thompson the team will be comprised of a overpaid post-prime core (to be kind), Reeves is their only decent young player which means he is trade bait, and a bunch of mercenaries who are FA for a good reason. The cherry on top is as long as Lebron is there they are never going to try to rebuild from the draft which means the few picks they do have will evaporate like a puddle in the desert. Dont get me wrong both teams are screwed, but if you ask me to pick between the two I would take the Clippers.
Id disagree. Yes the Lakers were a play in team the last 2 years but this is the same Lakers team that was in the WCF just a year ago. Don't get me wrong as a Lakers fan I'm still worried but they still have LeBron and AD as well as the ability to get younger thru the draft which the clippers do not. And you say the clippers are a middle of the road western conference team? How you lost Paul George for nothing, kawhi still can't stay healthy Westbrook there trying to trade so it's who exactly an injury prone kawhi and a year older harden with no ability to just blow it up because of lack of draft picks? As chaotic as the Lakers are id still rather be the Lakers
This is what happens when you allow a star player dictate who else you should hire. a la Lebron. Paul George AND kaweee are paycheck players. They don't care about winning. Plain and simple. Just accept it. Look at Donnie Mitchell getting his new contract with a new front hole coach. Paycheck player. He could have gone to any contender but chose the same course. Paycheck player.
Why wouldn’t they just resign him and trade or do a sign and trade so he doesn’t walk for nothing?
CLIPS BETTER OFF WITHOUT PG.
I hate the harden contract, and they should do everything they can to keep westbrook because out of all of them older guys he moves the best and plays hard. They should flip lenard for draft picks and a decent player if they can and trade harden for assets too if that is even possible. They should pick up boston jr for the shooting guard spot and im hoping the pf they got last year works well so lenard if kept plays sf instead of pf.
Clippers can’t even tank into 2027 okc will take they picks if they tank , Harden played better then Paul George , don’t look at the stas in regular season harden had mabye 20+ games where he has 18-25 points in the first half then wouldn’t shoot once in 2nd half because he would get kawhi and Paul George involved, now harden can cook and 2 man superstar team with role players always is better then a Trio
@@Snipergange the problem i have with harden is his system does not work, it hasnt worked all out offense. His defense is horrible and i will agree he is a good playmaker and scorer when he gets it going, but he is not worth 70 mil for 2 years at this point. If he can bring some defense better than he has then ok, but if not he better be bringing 20-30 points and at least 6 assists to be worth it.
@@Snipergangethey should aim to lock in zu because he has been the most consistent out of everyone
@@imperfect756 he was top 3 in steals and blocks for SG you just listen to what the media been saying , he was better then Paul George on defense , once the playoffs comes it doesn’t matter if you have harden or Paul George defense players like luka and kyrie will get their points no matter who defense is on them , it’s abour scoring and other things you do all us clippers fans were complaining about Paul George having a very very bad strech after the all star Break and besides that first lakers game whej kawi and pg had 35+ each pg really didn’t do nothing the first half of season he had only 1 40 point game all season and had like 4-8 30 point games he wasn’t worth keeping
@@Snipergangecan harden get steals sure, but i dont go by media, i watched the games... Harden got blown by so much or his go to was attempt to take a charge because he couldnt keep up with foot work. And this isnt saying im liking pg more... Its more i knew what we are getting in harden, and again unless he scores in that 20-30 ranges he is again not an asset at this point
Wow, denver offered mpj, nbadji, and a couple of picks and the clippers wanted more?😂 now you have nothing.
It was a lose lose for the Clippers.
Going to be the worst trade in nba history and right up there with the Nets trade in 2013
Should closed down this franchise lol.....
At 50 mill a year clippers were smart to let him walk a little weird they didn't at least do a sign & trade to get something back instead of losing him for nothing. Clippers weren't winning nothing paying pg that much especially when kawhi no matter how much he sits in the regular season just can't stay healthy for a playoff run. Probably should trade kawhi at this point a duo of kawhi & harden likely a play in team at best
PG is the Tobias 😂
You just upset the Clippers are smart enough to move on from a proven choke artist
I'm not upset, I'm not a fan of the Clippers or Paul George, just stating the obvious. They fumbled the bag
Poor James Harden 😂😂😂😂he went to Nets to win 🏆 n fail, moved to sixers to win 🏆 n fail,, moved to Clippers to win 🏆 n PG goes to sixers😂😂😂man has been chasing a ring for past 4yrs
I don't really feel bad for James Harden at all
James Harden is an unserious dude. He got fat to get out of Rockets who were giving him the biggest contract ever. Went to the Nets then decided he didn’t want to deal with Kyrie. Went to Philly then called the guy who believed in him more than anyone in OKC a liar. Now he’s got the space to be “The System” in LA
They pretty much gave up Shai and a plethora of first round picks for a perpetual playoff loser who prefers podcasting > playing basketball.
I’m sorry. You really have no idea about the current NBA world under the new CBA. You think the John Collins trade to Utah, Davion Mitchell trade to the raptors and now the KCP/ PG “walk away for free” are due to the stupidity of the Teams? Get real. We’re talking about the richest owner in the NBA and you think he is just “cost conscious” of not giving him 50-60M more after paying 2B for a new arena?
In todays league, Just by being a good player doesn’t mean a team should keep him. It’s all about the price and the age.
Specifically This man is 34 YO and is already on quasi retirement mode. He’s asking for a 200M deal till 38. I won’t be surprised if he turn to full retirement mode after year 1. So the sixers are stuck with three 45-50M players, two of whom have had very long track record of injuries and playoff underperformance. So that’s 150m per year or 20-30M below the first apron on JUST 3 players.
As for why they didn’t do SAT, that’s because they will be way above the 2nd apron when they do contract exits ions for T Mann and Zubac next season. That’d be disastrous considering that the team is not good enough to challenge a title.
If I were the clippers, I’d rather keep my flexibility to sign 3 more non tax MLE Derrick jones over the next 2-3 years rather than paying 55M to a 38 YO retiree.
It’s fair to criticise why they trade their entire future for this man 4-5 years ago. In hindsight, that’s a bad move. But as far as what they did today to let him go for free, that’s entirely the correct move.
You mean lob city?
He is not worth it! Good luck Philadelphia!
This content won’t age well , bank it! Clippers baby !
Sometimes you make an investment and it doesn’t work out that’s life
Clippers will forever stay poverty and NEVER win a ring
Pretty much
Do you really sign George knowing that him and Leonard have grossly underachieved?????? Trading George for Alexander from OKC is really making the Clippers look stupid. That may down as one of the worst trades in NBA history.......are the Sixers coming out of the East signing George. No. If the Clippers did are they coming out of West? Maybe. On a scale of 1-10 maybe 5 or 6.......why would DeRozen sign with them???? To me better off with Chicago. Can get more money and you know where they stand. Clippers are a dumb franchise. He is better staying Chicago than being with a delusional franchise. The Sixers need to tear that franchise down. Not coming out of the east next year. They need to trade Embid while he has value because they are not winning ANYTHING......whether they sign George or not Clippers are done. DeRozen signing with them is a joke because of Leonard gets hurt which he will same situation as Chicago........needs to go back to Chicago and call it a day........
