3:04 kawhi upside yo head😭😭😭
he only became better because Sam Presti is a pick hoarder. He’s always been that way. All he does is trade for pics because he use it to build a team to people have to understand something. shai wasn’t shit before that team put around him.
again look at Lawrence he made those decisions
Clippers are the cheaters!!!! Kawhi just made his bread …. Don’t worry he’s gonna win one in Toronto
For 10 1st round picks and a future HOFer, he and Paul George amounted to a WCF appearance.
But its also the furthest in Clippers playoff history so…😂
Most underachieve clippers super star but again Clippers made it to their first WCF. So meh 🤷
He will be boo'ed during home games, he got us nowhere and than did this.
Kawhi should've played along side SGA and the others but nope.
WHAT IT DO BABEEEEEE🎉🎉🎉
It will be remembered as Lawrence Frank attending every single Raptors game in a way that could not be interpreted as anything other than tampering. That behaviour alone is cause for the karma that Clippers experienced with all the games Kawhi was unavailable.
SGA was on the precipice of being special hence why OKC asked for him. Clippers were desperate as it showed even more so with the concessions made. They gave up SGA, Gallo and all those picks on top of doing illegal things for Kawhi. Not to mention Lawrence Frank snooping at Rap games. If anything Kawhi wouldve stayed in Toronto, but desperate Ballmer worried about the Lakers cost him and the team. Best bet is Wagler, Sanders (who im higher on that you are) and Yanic can pop and become homegrown guys.
He won't be remembered, he was a thief in the night, organizational nuclear bomb, a part-time player, & a total failure. Period. Danny Manning is better, Chris Paul is better, Blake Griffin is better. Shaun Livingston & Keith Closs were better Clippers! Good Riddance!
Yall forgot bron was still the king .. kawhi is great but will never be bron .. yall thought he was because the media was pushing that narrative
Kawhi will be remembered by the Clippers as Ballmer's pathetic and unsuccessful attempt at buying his way to a championship. On the other hand, he will be remembered by the Raptors as an NBA Champion, King of the North!
Hey Clip fans, let’s take the high road and give Kawhi a tribute. Be the the bigger person. What say you
Kawhi is an OVERATED porcelain doll , that injures easily. The guy did nothing for the Clippers Franchise.
What a sad intro.
Maybe because I followed the most closely the last one and half years but Kawhi was great then. Feels like bad vibes to condemn as the only one to blame here. Sure disappointing overall but the injuries and SGA being MVP wasn't his fault. * Shrugs * maybe other fans know more than me.
Lawrence Frank said he knew the rules but he didn't know the rules. Yes Kawhi's tenure was a disappointment but you have a flawed view of ethics if you think he's solely responsible for the Clippers getting punished 😂
I mean what are we doing here?
Criticize Kawhi for demanding a bad trade. Criticize Kawhi for not caring enough about winning with the Clippers. Hate him all you want as a fan. But have some intellectual honesty if you cover the team by not conflating these things and getting lost in your feelings.
I mean it's just so lazy and it's just such a bad message to send as fans to not ask for better from the organization and just say, "I thought he was gonna win the Clippers a championship but he didn't so I hate him and it's all his fault for everything."
It should be remembered as a spectacular failure that brought only a single WC finals appearance, no chips, constant injury and load management and a ton of controversy at the cost of a 2x MVP and 10 first round draft picks. How does Lawrence Frank still have a job?
10 picks, SGA MVP NBA champ, PG Playoff Pathetic, Kawhi for taking he money getting hurt and never playing when you need him, plus taking all that money and wrecking the Clippers future, this is what he will be remembered for.
I think we need to retire his jersey – he's #1 up there:
a. Kawhi Leonard
b. Chris Paul
c. Blake Griffin
d. Paul George
e. Lamar Odom
f. Bob McAdoo
g. Patrick Beverly
h. Doc Rivers
i. JJ Reddick
we have a lot of great history
lol yall stole our star thru back door deals and traded a future MVP for NOTHING. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kawhi Leonard is worst superstar Clipper we ever had i will be covering his last name on my Clippers jersey with duct tape it will say we should've kept The Real #2 SGA😡🤦🏾
