Trade: [OKC/LAC] Paul George for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, 5 1st round picks, and 2 swaps

[serp]

Holy shit thats a ton of picks . Most of them so far in the future Leonard and George will likely be gone by them or really washed up. Clippers better win something in the next few year because those picks in 5 to 7 years will probably be very valueable.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Good for PG, he got it all: 1) LA, 2)superteam without having to team up with LeBron and 3)that beautiful max contract only(?) OKC was able to offer him last year.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Just catching up to all of this. Absolute bananas. Wow. Stunning.

 

[These Are The Days]

Dammit. At least the Lakers and clippers may finally have an actual rivalry and the league will have more parity than ever. But **** you Kawhi for taking so long.

I wonder how Westbrook is feeling right now...

Brooklyn bound....

 

[Suiteness]

Ya that's the craziest part, Paul George was willing to shack up with Westbrook of all people rather than team up with Lebron.

And he tapped out with Westbrook after two years.

 

[HisIceness]

Damn. A year after resigning in Oklahoma he's gone.

On another note Thunder will still be a playoff team next season but they'll get swept as the 8th seed. But hey as long as Westbrook gets his triple double every night that's all that matters

Same. I went to bed after hearing about the earthquake.

Fake news. Must have been Clippers fans.

 

[Gecklund]

Clippers don't have any good passers.

Kawhi, George, Shamet, Williams, JRob

 

[Jack Straw]

Brooklyn bound....

One basketball on the court at a time is one too few to have Irving and Westbrook playing together.

I’d rather die

 

[Terry Yake]

interesting how PG requested a trade out of OKC and it wasn't reported anywhere

 

[These Are The Days]

I’d rather die

Well considering that most NBA players act like LA and NYC are the only two cities in North America I'd say prepare yourself. No one is going to suddenly remember Chicago or the NYK exist either.

Thats what I'm shocked about, especially with how much news gets out these days.

either OKC (and TOR) for that matter didn't leak a single word or the media was really trying its hardest to make kawhi to the clips happen

Chicago tends to believe they are a big market for the NBA. But they haven't done much outside the pre and post-Jordan era.

Knicks is more dysfunction and ownership while now having to compete with Brooklyn.

The Bulls were hot for a second during the Rose era but they are a mess right now. Coach Boylen looks like a f***ing dick and I would not want anything to do with him either. As for the NYK they need to continue to commit to a rebuild. They're fortunate to have escaped the free agent market with only Randle in tow. That team wasn't gonna win a damn thing unless they pulled off a miracle for KD and AD and they still otherwise would've only been a big fish in a small pond.

 

[darko]

Plenty of triple doubles coming up for Westbrick.

Clippers have fans?

[Voight]

That explains it.

Its quite the haul of picks, but Kawhi is locked down for 4 years, PG 3 more so the first couple are going to be late picks.

However that Miami pick is intriguing.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Kawhi, George, Shamet, Williams, JRob

Most of those guys are average, not good, and Kawhi is a terrible passer.

All of them are fine. It’s not like the Clippers had good passers last season.

Last year for both will be player options so its only 3 and 2 years guaranteed. That trade has the potential to be a franchise killer down the line. The bulk of the picks are way down the line .
