A real tough decision has to be made

Kawhi is doing load management to comeback and still miss playoff games...You can't get any continuity with a team cause it's best player is missing too many games. Now you add PG and his injury issues on top of this. Clippers need at least 1 star player who is playing the majority of their games.
They gotta trade both of them. Those two are making $91 million combined next season and $97 million the following year if they pick up their player options, which given their injury concerns, both probably will.

Even though PG is hurt all the time, they could probably move him relatively easily. He's still good when he's on the court and there's no mystery surrounding him when he gets injured.

Kawhi...I don't know who would trade for him besides a desperate team with bad contracts like Miami or Dallas. All his injury stuff is vague and it doesn't even seem like the team or his teammates know what the hell is going on with him day-by-day. It really sounds like he makes his own schedule. That game against the Grizzlies at the end of March was bizarre when he just stopped playing after the first half. After the game, all of his teammates sounded surprised and shocked; they had no clue what was happening with him.

You were talking shyt all season about the Clippers and now you're coming with this weak ass deflection. Do you know anything else you coward?

:unimpressed:
What’s there to deflect? Their two best players are injured. And yet they’re still looking better than your Dynasty Warriors who are fully healthy.

You went from “the Warriors are just too good for the Kings” in the first quarter of Game 1 to copping pleas and making excuses ever since :bryan:

Now you’re stooping so low to celebrate injuries to carry on an agenda that’s based on your hatred of a black coach (Ty Lue) being better than the white coach you Stan (Steve Kerr).:scust:

It’s giving Hoppin’ Bob all over again

It’s gonna be a tough pill to swallow for Ballmer to open the arena without stars but he’s gonna have to do it. There’s no way you keep going this course when you can get the jump on a rebuild.

Do you have no shame prepackaging excuses for all your jinxes, picking and choosing when to acknowledge and ignore injuries?

:picard:

The fact of the matter is, you end up with egg all over your face with every single agenda you push. And when it comes time for your serving of crow, you take your ball and run back to the crib, screaming at the top of your lungs about some strawman shyt. Par for the course that is your posting where you can't own up to your bullshyt.

These teams are making money off selling tickets with fake premises of their all star players maybe showing up.

They won't trade kawhi nor pg. They sell tickets even though they don't play.

No one's watching eric piatkowski clippers

Ballmer has to ride out PG and Klaw to the bitter end. Too much competition in Southern California for entertainment dollars.

It’s more of a business decision than basketball decision at this point.

I don't think they'll pick up their player options next year. Their next contract is probably their last big contract so they'll decline the option and get a contract with more years and more money similar to what CP3 did when he didn't pick up his player option for 40 million but instead signed a 4year 120million contract.

Kawhi is probably done for the year. Time to move one of the stars in the off season, resign Russ, and get Bones, Boston, and Diabate into the main rotation. Let’s do it right for a change and stop chasing names. We'll be alright :ehh:
i think so too. Expectations change but this a roster that can fight for the playoffs.

Still not calling this series a wrap.I have to see the Suns win a game without D Book having to go unconscious or Torrey Craig playing 5x better than he really is.The Clippers play with high intensity & physicality.Plus they have the better coach imo.
