48 mil for that last year for PAUL GEORGE is absolutely atrocious.

I would say this could help them trading him because he’s locked up but the numbers are ridiculous. No one trading for that.

Embiid and Harden would be some beautiful basketball. 60 FTs a game incomingNot interested in Embiid is a little shocking. Figured Simmons would be the main target though. Tough decision if you're Philly.
amitt5504 what's the general consensus on that potential swap from your Sixers brethren?
the trade off between Simmons and Harden is elite defense for elite scoring (even tho Harden is an elite defender cc

)I’m not giving up Simmons tho especially if Sam Cassell is working with him on being an actual PG

Wouldn't surprise me if he's out of there if they have another unceremonious exit one bitWould be hilarious if Kawhi leaves
To the point where I'd expect it

I don't know man. I don't think we can win a chip with Harden, it's less about his game and more about his ego, leadership and all the other parts.
The only way I see this working is exactly how Toronto treated Kawhi:
- They had vocal leaders with Marc and Lowry
- They only needed Kawhi to score and play defence
- the team had no egos and treated Kawhi like a king and everyone was ok with it
- The team was a ready made team looking to plugin a star to bring them to the promise land

we are betting on a team wanting to play for a title versus the results? Easy money

after the past2 years, smart of PG to anchor down
clips had to do this to retain one of him/Kawhi beyond this summer

So when Kawhi leaves,
The Clippers ultimate plan to lure players is to use the fact that they will be paired with Paul George. Like they going ALL IN on Paul George

i get all of that but we shall see. Teams around them gonna get better. Clippers currently constructed can’t win the title. Just not possible.

Why would Kawhi leave LA? He already got his chips and FMVPs.

Yep. More I think of it more it makes sense. This is backup if kawhi bolts. At least got PG and it’s still LA.

Balmer has money to waste. This team will never be great when you giving mid level players $226 mill.

what choice did the Clippers have though? They had to sign him.
He's not the first or last guy to get a max thats not worth it.

They can't trade him for 2 seasons following an extension. And he'll be 32/ 33 at that point.
Paying a low end #2 option/ high end #3 #1 money is suicide.
