While I would have much preferred to see Kawhi stay out East, he managed to sink OKC by getting George to to the Clips as well. Oh and this burns the Lakers and their entitled fans soooo much more so hahahHaha, thank you Kawhi.

I think this knocks OKC out of the playoffs. This also hurts the Lakers because most of the good FAs have already committed elsewhere.

I cannot believe what I'm reading. I was not expecting this AT ALL. This whole time he was just trying to get Paul George in the mix. Unbelievable.

Agreed. PG was very good for them last year. I can only imagine the panic and scrambling going on in Laker land.....and it’s DELICIOUS!

What the cap situation in LAC? Could they go after Cousins now? They could be crazy good...

Ridiculous haul! Okc wasn’t going anywhere anyway now they can stock up for the future. Glad Kawhi didn’t go to the Lakers and ruin basketball. Now it’s a real fight for the playoffs and I will be actively rooting against the Clippers

First I saw all the picks being sent and I'm like "Damn that's a haul" and then I notice they got Gilgeous-Alexander too and I'm like "WHAT".

Clippers probably have #1 defense now.

I wonder how Westbrook is feeling right now lol. First KD bounces. Then Paul George is traded there and ends up resigning, saying Rus is his guy. Now PG asks to leave Russ so he can play with Kawhi. Ouch lol.

If I were them I’d dangle him in front of the Knicks for a similar package of prospects and future firsts. Knicks seem to be wary though and I personally think Westbrook is getting the reputation as a guy who’s not the best player on a team that can afford to throw away draft picks.
I fully expect the Lakers to aggressively go after Westbrook now but they won’t have the draft picks to sell anymore but i can see them offering Kuzma and using whatever cap space they have left

Rumor with Westbrook is that his athleticism has waned which was/is a huge part of his game. Despite the big numbers he had an off year last season and his FT shooting has gone down the toilet.

Well it’s what he deserves really. His me first mentality is exhausting to watch truthfully. He’s all about the stats and very little substance.
Isn’t it essentially SGA/Gallo for PG cause those picks won’t be higher than 27 ever

I guess they had to pay the Lakers tax...
I am not a fan of players banding together to bolt teams but huge props to Kawhi here. If he wanted to put a stamp on a team as "his" team, he just effing did it. And while it sucks that he does it in a market like LA, it is his hometown which gives hope someday if Sacramento ever produces an all world talent he might do the same.
Oh and this not only puts the Lakers into fringe playoff contention rather than favorite status, it also most certainly knocks OKC out of the top 8. So good all around for us, especially if we consider our real window to be opening in 3-4 years.

They also have the ability to swap picks too if need be. OKC will still have their own picks as well to go along with 5 first rounders and 2 swaps. Insane haul. Not to mention they managed to get a great young PG out of it too.

Random thought...but I wonder if they are the mystery buyer for Wiggins’ contract. Westbrook and Wall are about the only contracts that could be traded for Wiggins where the receiving actually ends up with a better contract on their books.
