And we all know how that went.
Give it up. Look at this team. You tell me this is not better than our ceiling today and even if we get a top 5 pick tomorrow (next draft)?
Not to mention the 10+ FRP and swaps they still got
What are you even talking about? I’d easily take OKC’s situation over ours. That’s not the argument. The point is their best player and a top 5 player was acquired not drafted. And the trade would’ve never happened if not for Kawhi. It completely changed how people perceive Presti. People wouldn’t be excited about a team led by Chet and Jdubs. Those are the best players Presti has drafted in this rebuild.
I really like the players on their team. It would be great if SGA could get a ring. And it’d be great for Presti to get one so he can get to that next tier with guys like Masai, Riley etc.
It should be noted that the draft pick used to pick Jalen Williams was also part of the Clippers trade. Kawhi really set that team up nicely.
