Don't know. Its now 4 years in this experiment. I don't see George's and Leonard's health improving now.

How many times have they actually played playoff games together? It sucks cause when Kawhi plays in the playoffs its a treat.

Yeah that commercial now....

It’s not gonna happen, but blow up Kawhi and George.
I know about their pick situation, but gotta get the most value out of those guys while you can to rebuild anyway. They are not getting any younger, and their health is only going to get worse.

I think it's time for the Clippers to move on from Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. They simply can't stay healthy when it matters the most.

Keep, keep, as expected, waning.
I voted as expected because I expected PG13 and Kawhi to be injured in the playoffs and Clippers to lose in first round. Newsflash - at least one of them will be injured next year and they will flame out in the play-in or in the first round.

Agree. They can keep one of them but not both. every time one has to play without the other, its too much for their bodies to handle.

To think they've got $92M between two players who can't get in a full season between them.
Kawhi might be done. Hard to believe he couldn't find a way to power through and be a difference maker in any of these last few games of the Suns series. Just doesn't seem to have the heart despite the talent.

Way too much has to go right for them to even have a chance. They also didn't look like a legit contender when healthy. They'll give it at least one more year but they shouldn't.

I'm not sure any contender opens the warchest for kawhi.
Imo, clippers have no choice but to run it back and pray they both stay healthy.

What could they get for Norman Powell? He's under contract and can get you an efficient 20 in a playoff series. Nice player for a playoff contender whose stars actually play.

The only healthy post season they had, they blew a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets and blew double digit leads 3 straight times. They have good role players, but the Kawhi PG experiment has undoubtedly been a failure. Can't keep repeating the same thing expecting different results

If I’m Balmer, blow it up. No more wasting time on these unreliables
