So is Everyone in Agreement That The Paul George/Shai trade Was The Absolute WORST Trade in NBA History?

[FTBS]

You have to start paying everyone after next season including SGA

Other teams will offer money OKC can’t. You can’t expect these guys to take pay cuts off their first big contracts

Thats one of them good problems. You got so much talent you cant pay them all. And they got more picks than they can possibly ever use. Whether you win a chip or not thats a position every team would like to be in. Even having chip discussions or expectations is a win compared to where they were.

WHO IS EVERYONE?

SGA, CHET AND WILLIAMS
ARE THE ONLY GUYS THEY HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT.

EVERYONE ELSE ARE EXPENDABLE ROLE PLAYERS

Let’s give it until the end of next season. If OKC doesn’t get a chip before then things start looking shaky

no they dont, the core is still young

 

[staticshock]

This is far from the worst trade

I know you nikkas hate PG but come on now

 

[VegetasHairline]

Never forget, the Cavs refused to trade JJ Hickson for Amare Stoudemire only to wind up trading him to Sacramento for Omri Casspi and a 1st round pick they never got to use.

no they dont, the core is still young

Young but all with huge contracts coming up

 

[Trojan 24]

Harden for Jeremy Lamb is worse. It prevented a dynasty. OKC never got back to the finals without Harden


So far the clips with George has made a wcf. OKC with SGA has only sniffed the second round

And they still woulda had Harden for cheap no matter how much Presti stans try to spin it

Dort & Caruso are very important

Not sure why you’re underestimating quality role players. We saw it with the Lakers, Nuggets & countless other teams.

The days of just having 2-3 great players & garbage role players is over

Hilarious part is the owner didn't wanna pay the luxury tax to keep Harden....but a few years later they had the highest luxury tax bill in the league at one point.

Trading all those picks for Gorbert dont sit right with me

 

[Raquinotj]

Trade has aged about as bad as can be imagined.

The fact that the Clippers not only traded Shai but 5 first round picks for PG is straight up nauseating. Shai by himself is much better than PG ever dreamed of being and will be the MVP this year but ontop of that to trade 5 unprotected 1sts is unfathomable.

Matterfact is their even a close second? The Clipps set their future back by easily another decade

How old are you?

 

[Shadow King]

Kawhi coming off a title run says bring PG or no deal. They essentially traded Shai for Kawhi and PG.

100 of 100 GMs in July 2019 make that trade.

CARUSO IS 30 YEARS OLD.

IDK HOW MUCH YOU THINK
SOMEONE LIKE DORT IS COMMANDING.

RESIGNING HIM WITH THE
NEW SALARY CAP YEARS FROM NOW
WONT BE AN ISSUE

[Buckeye Fever]

I knew it was too much even at that time.

Add to the fact that Clippers have been a disappointment and couldn't even hold up their end of the bargain to give us a Clippers/Lakers WCF
