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

Its all fun and games to shyt on the Clips...but nobody can really talk. EVERYBODY thought this was a no brainer and the Clips were about to take over the league.

Now the 6ers watching dude in LA the last 5 years and thinking thats the dude to invest max money in as he moves into his mid and late 30s is another story.

And you said this then?
I definitely did...

Trading all those picks for impending Y10 Paul George, who as of 2019, already had injury risk ND hadn't been a dependable playoff performer in like 5 years...

Selling your soul to impending Y9 Kawhi, who even that young came with injury risk and was breaking down by the end of The Finals---->which was a clear foretelling of the future. The only playoff run he's finished since, was 2020, and he blew a 3-1 lead on a Rd2 series...

He had a hot year on a perfectly built team that was already a perennial contender that allowed him to load manage ¼ of the season because they were so good...

All these things were big ass red flags. We were in the minority but there were those of us who called out how dumb it was mortgaging your future for the tandem of Kawhi and PG. And we were right, it's one of the biggest busts of NBA history...

I'm not selling my future off for two guys who are injury risks in their 20s. One of whom (George), is a completely inconsistent playoff performer...

I believe you. And I think you would acknowledge you was all by yourself.
