Originally posted by TheGore49er:If you go back in this thread, most of us in here were obviously going to be happy if we got Kawhi, but many of us were saying its okay to not sign him, and build a strong supporting cast for Kuz, Bron, and AD. We are still the 2nd favorite to win it all, and the future looks bright with AD and Kuzma for the next 7+ years.
And i like how we match up with the Clippers. They might have the best 3 perimiter defenders in the league but we arent a perimiter team. AD is gonna be a huge matchup nightmare for them.

The fact that he was interested in the Clippers at all said enough. Nobody willingly wants to be a clipper lol. Hes a different dude thats for sure.

The paul George thing was a surprise tho.
Originally posted by TheGore49er:Yup lots of reports coming out now saying that they talked and both wanted to play together. Wasn't gonna happen with the Lakers, so Clipps made sense. For them to pull of that trade that fast, obviously this was planned out. Clippers FO had to tamper. If im Okc and lakers, i go snitch on em.
Originally posted by kidash98:OKC came out with a haul. Why would they snitch on their own take?

Yeah short term this hurts OKC but if they play their cards right, they can build a very talented team. They have have a ridiculous amount of draft picks now. That also gives them a ton of bargaining chips now for trades if they choose that route as well.
Originally posted by LB49ers:The thing that kind of annoys me is that the rest of the league actively colludes against the Lakers. No other team has to deal with that. The reports that one of the main reasons they traded Paul George is the fear of a Lakers dynasty.
Originally posted by TheGore49er:It was the Thunder who didn't want to see a Lakers dynasty. Last year it was the Spurs actively telling the Pelicans not to trade Davis to the Lakers. And not to rehash this but it was the rest of the League who threw a fit and kept Chris Paul trade from going through.

Thats another reason why i want okc to file tampering charges. We always get hit with tampering fines, but rarely happens to other teams.

Poor kings fans. Stuck in the Central Valley with nobody actively trying to force teams to make them better and the 4th best team in the state. It really must suck.
