The Official NBA Season Thread: Back and Better Than Ever

For the millionth time, that's not accurate.

Kawhi was only coming if they made the trade for PG. So the trade effectively was to get both Kawhi and PG. Coming off the season when Kawhi took the Raptors to a title and was in the conversation for best player in the game. If it was not required to get Kawhi, the Clippers would not have made that trade.

And I'm not sure by what measure the trade "set them back years".

In the Kawhi-PG era the Clippers went further in the playoffs (WCF) then they had in their previous 30 year history. They had a consistently higher winning percentage over those years than any time previously in franchise history. The Clippers became one of the most valuable franchises in the NBA. So, the trade/Kawhi acquisition was successful by most metrics except leading to an NBA title, which I get is the most important thing.

Meanwhile, great as SGA is, the Thunder haven't been past the 2nd round of the playoffs during his time in OKC and they're still ringless too (if you don't count the Sonics 1970s title).

this gotta look bad *** above the wall
 
gotta love women who can be Karen white when they want to, kind of ambiguous is she mixed, latina, some sort of middle eastern in there, spicy when they want and even get braids/dreads weave when it benefits them any particular day. I’m Mississippi black, 1 generation removed I guess but it’s nothing I can do. Not that I’d want to but I’m sayin #blackfishing
 
Unless they’re trading Giannis or Dame, not even possible for Milwaukee given their tax situation.
Yea saw Portis and Middleton being mentioned but it really can only be one of Giannis or Dame to make it work since they can't aggregate salary due to being on the 2nd apron already.

Don't see them moving off either so probably moot :lol

Not exactly a shocker but I think some contenders could probably talk themselves into it for the short term :lol:

No non-terrible team is gonna be looking to offer the long term security he's after though
 
Jimmy in Memphis is kind of scary. Maybe Houston too if Miami really reaches a situation where they just have to take any ol poo poo platter for him. Golden State too, the West already a gauntlet, dont need it to get gauntletier

Also shoutout to antidope antidope for the first Supporter subscription. Its expired now and you can definitely tell, guess we’re not gonna do nothing about intrusive ads that refresh the page every few seconds

And Whitlock might want to retrack or clarify that statement, granite the kind if person he is and his audience it probably doesnt matter. But there wasn’t even an implication of potential mutual interest or consent there.
