Getting paid $150 million to pretend to go through physical therapy every year.
Where do I sign up?

Yes, Kawhi should voluntarily give up millions of dollars and stop doing something he loves because a bunch of internet/armchair orthopedic surgeons say he’ll never be healthy again. Highly logical.

I know this might be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but perhaps he enjoys playing basketball as well as making $50M per year.
His knee magically adding cartilage is irrelevant.
He just played 83% of the season, which is more than you can say for a bunch of other guys in the league.

Kawhi should continue taking up cap space and kill the Clippers chances of being competitive for the next 3 years. He's earned it

I get it why they did it, but when you think risk vs reward, is it worth it? $152 million for him to just play a few games here and there.
I get you don’t wanna open a new arena with scrubs, but it’s not worth me spending an extra $150-200 million dollars .

Do him and Ben Simmons have the same agent?

OKC went all-in on that trade and has one series win to show for it. It's time to start getting results

They’re gonna be really good. Still don’t know if they have enough firepower. They’re pretty much just waiting on Chet to continue to develop.
They’ll improve (significantly) as he does.

Ballmer being one of the richest people on Earth eases the sting of that number a bit for the Clippers.
I also think they heavily considered that they don’t own their 1st round pick outright this year or next. So blowing up would probably mean helping OKC get higher 1st round picks. The FA classes this past Summer and next Summer are not all that great either.
So all things considered, they figured they were better off keeping Kawhi around for another couple years and getting whatever they can out of him, rather blowing it up and being bad without any draft benefits.

Lawrence Frank needs to be fired. Resigns Kawhi, yet lets PG and Russ walk. Crazy work. The season is now in Harden's hands. Last time Harden had a franchise in hands, he cried and left for New York.

Kawhi averages 58 games per season, Embiid averages 54…. Again, if Kawhi should, so should Embiid

I didn't even realize that the Clippers somehow sent ANOTHER pick swap to OKC when they traded for Harden. How is this level of malpractice even possible

Not that I love the idea of the Clippers bringing in a new chronically injured guy to help offset the loss of another, but if they could get Levine for like Norm, PJ a 2nd rounder and filler, might be worth a shot.

Harden still an elite regular season player...think the Clips can keep the ship afloat for a little bit although the West is brutal.
