Breaking up this 2019 Rising Team will go down as the worst decision in Clippers history. They gave us our best moment in franchise history beat Warriors and we blew up the team. Could have had SGA (MVP runner up 2024 and soon to be NBA Champions Thunder) leading a dynamic young team to many titles

Our best moment in franchise history was making the western conference finals not the 31 point comeback (as great as that was).
Look, I’m not happy with the current state of this franchise nor the short term future either but getting Kawhi and PG with what you knew back then is a risk you take 99 times out of 100.
Omg what a hot take! Definitely haven‘t seen that one before!
Yeah that 2019 team was sick, Harrell, shamet, Beverly and lou will do so well in the bubble! Really sucks we missed out on watching that team compete for chips!
also for anyone who says the WCF in 2021 was better.
NO WAY.
They had such an easy schedule and beat a WEAK Utah Jazz team to get to the WCF. It was honestly not that big a deal to beat an easy team to get there and get bounced by the Suns who didnt even win the title.
Beating a DYNASTY Warriors team at full strength (not even Toronto the 2019 champs beat them with KD) comeing back down 31 is HISTORIC and Wayyyy more impressive accomplishment.
Going to 6 games against that healthy Warriors team is something nobody else would have done. Toronto would have lost in 5 if KD was full strength.
Shut the fuck up.
Kawhi was 28 coming off a finals MVP and was considered the best player in the world. Its like saying you shouldnt give up Banchero if you had the chance to get Giannis. No one knew SGA would be a superstar he looked like a high quality starter back then.
I miss the Goon Squad.!!
