It’s gotta be a sick feeling to know you traded all those picks and SGA for Paul George

Folk was questioning clippers FO mental state at the time as to why they was trading SGA and shouldn’t have given him up in the trade

In fairness no one thought SGA'd be this good. We knew he'd be good, but he's balling at All-NBA level, one of the five best guards in ball type shyt. I don't remember anyone predicting he had a ceiling as one of the five best guards in basketball...

Plus the thought was LA would have a ring by now, at least one. You were getting Peak Kawhi, and PG not far removed from MVP-level OKC hype...

Lol, that deal was still a no brainer for the Clippers. The Paul George trade was a package deal to get Kawhi who was fresh off a dominant Postseason where he won FMVP and was seen by many as the League's best player.

Unfortunately for them, they're just a cursed franchise like the Nets.
