I know the Clips wouldn’t have gotten Kawhi without this, but god damn does this look insane with hindsight.

KAWHI ruined our future 😞

Blame Kawhi

That 2022 pick is looking really good too. Jaylen Williams

If Kawhi just signed the contract he still probably gets his guy and we have more than beads and shells to make trades with for the next 5 years.

Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make

This is Kawhi’s fault can’t blame PG. I’m glad he didn’t join the Lakers otherwise they would have 20 rings by now.
IgnorantGenius
We traded 7 picks for this guy?

Any team in the league would have made this trade in our position at the time.
The League was wide open for us to take.
Obviously now since it didn’t pan out we wish we didn’t. But I don’t blame the FO for making the decision.
I do blame them for not trying to dump these stars before they proved themselves to have no value. We could have definitely got some assets to develop 3 years ago.

Let’s see if Shai can get a chip this year.

I’m full on the thunder bandwagon for the rest of the playoffs since the clippers lost. Let’s go SGA!

Overpay then and even worse of an overpay now. GMs will be hesitant doing these kinds of superstar trades going forward. More likely to blow up in your face than bring back a chip.

I’ll never forget how happy 15 year old me was seeing my favorite player of all time get traded to my favorite team. If only I knew what would happen down the road lol :/

Just sucks that Kawhi forced the Clips hand by getting PG. Then COVID happened and further fucked us. Could’ve just taken the year off and signed PG, kept Shai and the 1st round picks.

Terrible trade.

SGA would still have been a star if clippers would have kept him.
Tangentkoala
Everything here didn’t mount to anything, though.
Only thing was we traded SGA who probably wouldn’t have been the player he is today playing the B role under kawhi.
All those draft picks turned into roleplayers so far.

We fucked up.

Fck we do this every year smh

The alternative was Kawhi going to the Lakers. Uncle Dennis held a gun to our heads!

Yes, and I should have been buying real estate in 2008 instead of being in the 4th grade.
Hindsight is 20/20 folks…

I still remember we could have gotten butler instead of pg as well 😭
