Yeah, the lack of transparency from the organization about health issues generally - and Kawhi in particular - just makes an already ****** situation even more frustrating for Clippers fans.
I'm not sure what the team things they're accomplishing with that approach.

So months later, was it ever confirmed whether he had a procedure done before or after the Olympics?

Also if the Clips somehow end up missing the postseason, that would give OKC a lottery pick??

He definitely had a procedure done. I think it was after he left the Olympic team, but I'm not 100 percent on that.

OKC has pick swaps with both the Clippers and Houston for the 2025 draft, so they'll end up with whatever team gets the higher pick out of the Rockets and Clippers.

Spurs & Presti who comes from the Spurs have an endless amount of pick swaps coming up for this reason.
Teams are more willing to agree to a swap with lighter protections rather than trade their first round pick entirely.

Harden gonna quit on another team and request a trade

That's what I was thinking because the reports at the time had him wanting to play in Paris but it wasn't his call in the end.
Don't think he would've been selected in the first place if they knew he had work done just before.
Still, the lack of transparency has always been a feature with Kawhi it feels like.

The idea that OKC could actually potentially be involved in the Flagg sweepstakes next year is bordering absurd man

Nah, Kawhi had knee surgery between the time his season ended and the Olympics camp.

In a stacked draft too. Them getting a top 10 pick is very possible.

So if Flagg actually that good or is it hype?

They have a problem similar to Houston. To many young boys who need the rock. They’ll have to trade more people soon, ala Josh Giddey

It felt like a lot of hype until I saw all the pros singing his praises at the USA training camp in Vegas
Been a chorus from ex-players too in the build up to the Duke season.
The ones who would know seem to think he's the real deal, can't wait to see this season

Must be said, Kawhi casually flirting with 50/40/90 year in and year out on a chronically injured knee is some ironman ****

Think the size, athleticism, motor and defense translates, so it's a matter of how much you believe in his offense.

Think that's the kind of problem that Presti lives for

it wasn’t till last season’s playoffs where we witnessed him looking mortal performance wiseMust be said, Kawhi casually flirting with 50/40/90 year in and year out on a chronically injured knee is some ironman ****
when he came back in those two postseason games he looked borderline unplayable
was skeptical he was physically fine after that, especially when team usa held camp

Might as well send Klaw to the Wizards or Bulls. Bad pieces for bad pieces.
